Oregon's new basketball court...

[Girasuck]

is very hard on the eyes. I tried watching the game last night and made it about 10 minutes before turning it. Just too much going on with it.

[DBryant88]

agree

[Blake]

I agree although I like it.

[crc21209]

Different, but I kinda liked it.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Thought something was wrong w/ my tv when I saw the highlights lol.

[DesignatedT]

awful

[Sisk]

Thought something was wrong w/ my tv when I saw the highlights lol.

Yeah, I thought it was the lighting (like introduction lighting) or something along those lines..

Strange..

[leemajors]

Craig Way was right, it looks like someone dumped a bunch of bright yellow paint on a nice court.

[CubanMustGo]

What do you want for only $234 million?

[JMarkJohns]

It looks awesome until the game starts, then it contributes (along with Oregon's play) to an unwatchable product. It's excessive and distracting for actual gameplay.

Have you seen the recently unveiled Matthew Knight Arena, bequeathed to the University of Oregon by their sugar daddy, Uncle Phil? Some basketball naturalists have cried foul, claiming the Ducks’ new floor is a home field advantage worse even than Boise State. Others praise its storied roots in the history of Oregon.


Home field advantage, indeed!

But others (like yours truly) are still on the fence. Yeah, the court looks awesome, but is that worth completely hiding the half-court line? However, the shiny alpine tree line is a great alternative to the dismal court that dwells inside Cameron Indoor Stadium.

So, only time will tell how Oregon fares.

That being said, if imitation is truly the sincerest form of flattery, then consider Oregon buttered up! While we wait to see how other teams handle the Ducks’ new pond, I wanted to see how other schools might achieve the same sort of “advantage.” If Oregon can grace its fans with visions of the neighboring landscape, then what’s to stop, say, the University of Miami, Louisiana State, Hawaii, Nebraska or even Arizona?

Nike, take note: I’ve done your homework for you.
