Hilltopper Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 I guess since we can't get a new arena we are going to get a new look for the JAR. 1 Quote
Hilltopper Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Posted September 30, 2015 Am I seeing all chair backs?No. Just all blue. They are even painting the upper level bleachers blue. Quote
skip-zip Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 Paint...huh? Well, at least the empty bleacher sections won't look as "bleacher-ish" Quote
ZachTheZip Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 Don't underestimate how much a dark color scheme on the walls makes a difference. The JAR will look far less like a gymnasium. Quote
Hilltopper Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Posted September 30, 2015 I think it's going to be an improvement too. It will really make the new paint scheme on the court stand out. Quote
Dr Z Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 Looks better from the photos. Thanks for taking the time to post. I stopped by in August and they were painting the halls, I didn't realize they were going this far. Seems like a good investment considering the situation. Quote

Dave in Green Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Something is better than nothing. Quote
Glib Shanley Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Something is better than nothing.I'd have to say that you're an Olive Jar half-full kind of guy, Dave! Quote
zippy5 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 It's no new arena but it does look better. I'll take it Quote
morris buttermaker Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 I'm surprised they didn't paint the gym black-- to go with the uniforms Quote
skip-zip Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Morris...On a much larger and more permanent scale, you do a nice job making a comparison that illustrates the absurdity of using uniforms that don't have your colors. Could you imagine an entire arena with a color other than our own? Quote
Dave in Green Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 When I was a kid first watching basketball on TV, they all had black and white uniforms and played in black and white arenas. 1 Quote
pdt1420 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 When I was a kid first watching basketball on TV, they all had black and white uniforms and played in black and white arenas. Yeah, but way back then the players were white and white. Quote

akronzips71 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 Can they paint some extra points on the scoreboard? Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 I think it looks good. Slapping a fresh coat of paint on anything is a cheap way to make a big aesthetic upgrade.Will they stock more than six 8-packs of Sugardales to support "Dollar Dog Night" vs. K.e.n.t. this season? If they do, then we'll know real JAR improvements are being made. Quote
Sportsjunkie330 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 What, no olive jars?Olive JAR.... I see what you did there. 1 Quote
ZZZips Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 Did they remove the attractive carpet from the walls of the stairwells? Did they update the Hall of Fame pictures? How about those fine looking globe lights around the upper exterior? All three give the JAR that great Polytechnical look! Quote

skip-zip Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 ZZZip....I always forget about the carpeting in the stairwells. That's been all torn up for years. You'd figure that might be a rather inexpensive fix. Quote
UAZip0510 Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 Leave it to ZN to find a way to complain about paint. Quote
