New court coming soon

[blue cincy]

Here is a pic of the court without the stuff in the bottom left hand corner.

New Rupp Arena Court Design to be Installed Later This Season

Installation expected following volleyball season

Overall nice looking court though. What will people do now that the court is fixed, checkerboards are gone and the team looks to play with pace? Oh lord.

 

[bthaunert]

So I understand why the Rupp/Central Bank logo is away from the bench area, but why don’t they move the opposite logo to the same spot instead near the side line?

What am I missing here? They are both the exact same distance from the sideline and midcourt.

 

[DraftCat]

LOVE IT

 

[rick64]

Can't wait to see what it looks like once its been put down.

 

[Kycatspaws]

A lot nicer. I like it.

 

[Zissou87]

The lack of checkerboard is a letdown.

 

[RunninRichie]

I actually am in shock that this is even a question from someone hahaha like literally shocked.

Every single court design shows the outline of where the basket will go, it doesn't mean they are going to paint it on the court hahahah.

Louisville's Court Design from when they released it, do you see those baskets painted on the court in real life?

Let's keep it local, how about NKU, do you see those painted on the court in real life?

But if you don't believe me, we can arrange a bet if you'd like haha

Louisville has a solid court design.

 

[DreadLox]

Now, if we'd only play in phosphorescent uniforms like Oregon.

 

[Tampa_cat54]

Louisville has a solid court design.

I agree!

 

[CB3UK]

Hell yeah. That looks good! I like it.

 

[ukcatz12]

Zero logos of the two birds screwing? Awful, 0/10.

 

[jwildcattrester]

WOW

Floor looks rough!!

I've made it a point to tag central bank during every game on twitter to complain about the logo's on the court. They actually responded once saying that there are plans to change the logo's but it won't be until Mitch orders the new court design or something like that. Everyone keep tagging...

From 10/31

@know1 - Yep - this is how it should be with the possible change of the UK at mid court being blue.

"Powered by Big Blue Nation" is incredibly lame but otherwise this looks amazing

@RunninRichie - just put cawoods court in place of that.

 

[jwildcattrester]

@know1 @RunninRichie

That's wild!

11/7 - https://ukathletics.com/news/2023/1...urt-design-to-be-installed-later-this-season/

 

[On-On-UK]

I love the image of the Commonwealth.

 

[jwildcattrester]

I'm still shocked that this message board designed the new court 1 week before they unveiled it.

 

[SemperFiCat]

Yep. Say what you want about UofL, but that logo and court design is pretty fire. Not some generic simp crap some entry level Nike part-timer's third grade kid drew up.

 

[CB3UK]

Yeah I agree about Louisville's court. It does look sweet with the bird dunking logo.

 

[*CatinIL*]

It would look better with the checkerboard pattern from end-to-end and side-to-side. 😜

Seriously, that looks much cleaner and I like the state image in the center.

 

[RunninRichie]

For sure. I also like some of their uniforms.

 

[WeWant9]

For sure. I also like some of their uniforms.

They’ve done a good job of blending old school with modern schemes. I wish UK would do a little more in that area.

 

[Cal-4-Three]

I wish we had a throwback court for a game or two a year. Maybe nike could do some throwback uniforms as well like they do with the NBA.

 

[Tampa_cat54]

So what will be the first game with this court??

 

[blue cincy]

So what will be the first game with this court??

Dec 2nd, UNC Wil. game.

 

[Tampa_cat54]

Dec 2nd, UNC Wil. game.

Well that sucks- was hoping to see it Friday or AT LEAST for the Miami game at the end of the month.

 

[RunninRichie]

That court is gonna look good against Gonzaga though.

 

[bthaunert]

It look amazing!

Not quite as the court is already done. But I'm sure they saw images of potential courts that people have put out as ideas, like the one you show.

They're waiting until the home volleyball games end

UK athletics loves giving us all blue balls lol.

I’m sure there’s some reason, but it looks pretty ready to go to me.

Move Volleyball to Transy then and let's rock and roll!

Sick and tired of UK Athletics making UK Basketball take a back seat to 2nd and 3rd rate programs. It's basketball's arena.

Volleyball's last home game is Nov 25th. If the new floor isn't down for the Miami game on the 28th, I will lead a 1-man riot.

Incorrect...

It's a Multi-Purpose Arena.

If I am not mistaken, it is owned by the Downtown Lexington Corporation and Central Bank has the naming rights.

It is leased by UK Athletics for athletic events. It does not belong to the University.

Obviously....everyone knows that it's not owned by the university.

But the Men's Basketball team is the only one that calls it their home arena.

Volleyball and WBB are in Memorial- Rupp is not their home.

You can try to argue with me on that if you'd like but you would lose.

Kentucky Basketball is and should always be the #1 priority in the Athletic Department, and obviously the #1 priority in Rupp Arena. Don't try to dispute that.

I know you're not going to want to hear this, but as of right now, UK is slated to be a top 16 seed in the NCAA volleyball tournament and would host. Those games are slated from November 30 - December 2. Hence the December 2 date.

Beautiful. If it's already down......won't we see it Friday night?


Edit: Nvm. Apparently it will have to be covered up with the old one until Volleyball season is over.
