I think we have all seen the picture of the new locker room leaked, but this is news to me that we will be getting a new hardcourt. The new floor is supposed to be ready in time for the home game vs UNC.

Speaking of leaked, how about taking the picture after you remove the bucket?
I wonder what the new design on the floor will look like. Maybe some scales or flames around the periphery of the court with a new center court logo? Who knows, but I'm excited to see what they've come up with. Sounds like they are excited about it and think fans and students will love it.
Quote:"We spent a lot of time and (head coach) Jerod (Haase) had a lot of input in the floor," UAB director of athletics Brian Mackin said. "He's a very creative guy and I think our fans and students will love it.

"At some point, we'll go public with it. There again, we might even keep it a surprise until the game."

Attention traditionalists and old farts that hat change. When you throw out words like creative, and keeping the design secret, I bet it is not going to be your standard floor. It will have some flourishes
I would like for it to remain a secret until as late as possible.
It's worked for Boise in football and for Oregon as well. Not saying it will necessarily be anything that drastic but UAB could use a splash in the media. What better time and unveiling than the UAB vs UNC game?
Several schools, including many CUSA schools have started adding non traditional things to the court.

We came up with some good ideas and some silly ones that would be Birmingham centric in another thread.

I hate secrets. I want to see the new floor today and the new football uniforms yesterday. 05-mafia
I'm excited...we're due for a new floor. Hey...it can't be any worse than the floor with the black baselines we had back in CUSA 1.0 days.

The locker room is straight ballin and I think it will definitely help with the building of our program.
Hope we don't mess with the huge dragon at midcourt.
I'm thinking the Birmingham skyline in the background, or a huge dragon similar to the background Oregon has on their court.
I want to know where they got those chairs with Blaze on them. I need a new recliner.
Win 25 games this year, and I'll love the new floor, sight unseen.
I get the feeling that the court will be something ridiculous...


ridiculously awesome.

They'll probably just put UAB there and make the dragon really really small lololololololol.

The best thing we could put on the floor is a good team.
Exactly.

Most of us will show up as long as the team is on the court. I will be there to support my Blazers.

I applaud all the changes btw. Long overdue.
