We finally have a legit coaching staff and lots of talent coming in. If the Zips show signs of improvement, there's no more excuses to not show up. 

 

There will always be lots of excuses to not show up. I'm hoping one day the primary excuse is "the damn Info is sold out again."

Now we just need a couple thousand fans to join us.

From the football record in recent years, nearly as much football has been played in the JAR as in Infocision.

I like the whiter wood, instead of the yellowish wood. And thank goodness we aren't going with a crazy pattern like NIU. Simple and classy. The "A" will pop.

The wood outside the 3pt line will be a bit darker, but still nice.

 

Some schools try too hard to get noticed and do crazy stuff with their floors and fields. NIU's dark floor with the weird eyes, Kent State's giant lighting bolts and Eastern Michigan's gray field are all terrible. I really wasn't really even a fan of our most recent court with the kangaroo heads in the key. 

 

Follow the KISS theory. Keep It Simple Stupid. We have a nice new logo. Let it shine.

Yeah, that court is beautiful! Simple can be amazing if done right, like in that pic!

This is simply gorgeous. The break in the blue with the gold is a nice touch, especially with the blue A in the middle.

Agree completely. I also love the consistently between the new turf and new court design. Both have the same blue A, blue endzones/baselines with gold type and name of facility on the sidelines.

Looks like the design is tweaked a bit from the rendering. I liked the two tone wood, but this still looks nice.

 

Wonder what's still covered up above and below the A logo? FirstEnergy logos?

That is a lot to get done in one summer. Well done Mr. Guthrie.

"They just want to be given a road map."

 

I would love to see what this road map looks like that has convinced donors to shell out so much money for the facilities.

That Akron Echo is a really good page. I follow them on twitter for nearly all my summit county news.

New logo looks good at the top of the scoreboard. Wish they could get some $$ to update that screen. Just fill up the whole thing with a video board like they did at Progressive Field. Those ads and old school scoreboard at the bottom aren't needed anymore. Just program stuff like that into the video graphics.
