The Sun Dome's New Floor...

[BigShoop]

 Thank you Mike. It looks like Shoop doesn't understand the concept of branding.  While I agree if we don't use the shield it will go away I think the U is far more marketable than the shield.

Let's talk about branding.

The following is 2 clear examples of teams NOT using their primary logo as.........their primary logo.

In other words, it's O.K. to have something other than a U U U U U U U U U U U U everywhere you go.

There's a reason Miami came up with this:

Again, I'm all for branding. But I think the U has already been firmly established. The use of the shiled can only enhance things...in my opinion.

Note: I'd take the shield over the gators script, arrow, and ibis thing ANY-DAY-OF-THE-WEEK.

I like the bull, not the shield, takes away from the intensity of the bull.

personally I think the outside of the dome could use a little work.  Its so bland...just a big old ugly dome...make it look more apealing, put a big banner on it, or something that will make stick in peoples minds...kinda like what the bucs do with RJS.

How about actually maintaining the exterior of the buildings!

a pressure clean would be a good start

A little history on the current floor.  It was a demo floor that Robbins sold us at a discount (about 80,000)sometime in the late 80's. It was a replacement from when the original Sundome floor that got warped from rain when the roof caved in. That floor was sold and sent somewhere up North in the mid 90's.  The current floor has been fully repainted 3 times and had the confrence  logo changed 3 times (not counting the last major repaint for the Big East)  It has been refinshed numerous times and has two pieces replaced due to damage.  Its been set up in 3 other venues  (the Trop, Ice Palace, and Lakeland).The dead spots are normal for portable floors although ours seems to have a few more due to its age and the number of times its taken apart.

It was my understanding that the floor currently in the Sun Dome was taken from the NCAA Final Four when it was held in the Trop in 1999.

more interest in floor than program

Nothing wrong with the appearance of the floor...The Dome however is a rather dumpy, dingy looking facility...something befitting a cellar dweller  :-[
