Interesting. The black seats really suck up the light. I hope all the yellow shirts in the stands shows up on TV. Cool addition to the arena though!!!

The last I had heard it sounded like any plans in that direction had been put on hold, but I haven't heard anything recently. My impression is that putting them in without losing a lot of seating isn't an easy or cheap task and that, at a minimum, it would take a backseat to building that athletic department addition between Koch and Cessna.Originally posted by ShoxMTXE View Post"Cotton scared me - I left him alone." - B4MSU (Bear Nation poster) in reference to heckling playersComment

My hope is that the lighting will cover up some of the same students that have been in the student section for the past 10-15 years. I swear I went to school with some of those students, I graduated 20 years ago. New rule should be implemented for the AAC. Only hotties on the front row of the student section.Originally posted by Aargh View PostHere's what the lights look on the court. There's still construction material and protective stuff covering the floor. The guy who took the picture says it doesn't really show the effect, but...
...Notice how bright the playing area is in contrast to the seating area. The floor will be very bright, but the stands will not be as bright.

Having missed out on the enjoying *in person* the tidal wave of success at CKA the last years, has it really gone down that bad?Originally posted by blackandgold View PostComment

Saw them in person last week, really gives the arena a cool theater like atmosphere much like Staples Center and MSG"You need to be standing on his toes when he's catching the ball. He's that good."- Gregg MarshallComment

Like Paul mentioned, Bramlage has similar lighting and it looks very nice.
Now if only we can upgrade the sound system like that of toher arenas. (As long as the "get off my lawn" folks don't complain about it...)The AssmanComment

Didn't they upgrade the sound system a few years ago?Originally posted by SHURTZtheHERTZ View Post
Regardless, they definitely need to use it correctly. If the band isn't playing, at least play some really good hype music during timeouts. Our crowd gets amped pretty easily. Quit making it harder for us with free throw contests between people who probably haven't picked up a basketball before!Comment

Until the department gets back on its feet with NCAA distribution money and the next media deal for the American, I would suggest that you brace yourself for MORE stupid timeout promotions.Originally posted by ShockerPhi View Post78-65Comment

Put me down in the minority of not being overly thrilled about the new lights. I am all for upgrading the lights, but when I see the stands not lit up it feels like we are trying to hide empty seats like k state does.........Marge: The plant called and said that if you don't come in tomorrow, don't bother coming in Monday.

Surely there is a way to do both- keep the crowd hyped during a timeout, but also promote something? "This party rager, brought to you by Klein Flooring and Construction."Comment

Screw the "hype music," just let the band play. And play. And play.Originally posted by ShockerPhi View Post"I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet.

I don't know if it would be possible, but how about getting the promotion in, out and gone, then have the band start blasting away and getting the crowd amped back up before the timeout is over. It would take some streamlining and good logistics, but it should be possible. Plus get rid of "Where's Wu". That is just one sad promotion.Go Shocks!Comment

I may have to attend a few volleyball games to see how the new lighting works. At least that's what I'll tell my wife is my reason for going.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
