I feel like this is USF's version of America's top model....

Hope they are just testing colors there

Thanks for sharing...however, in my humble opinion, I think we should have sticked with school colors. After all, the building they are painting is used for USF Mens and Women's basketball, etc.. Also, our school colors would be better represented during concerts. Edited February 7, 2012 by BullFan98

I personally LIKE that they're not using school colors. I feel like a green & gold dome would just be cheesy. Lots of arenas now of days are just brick, so this will be a nice change.

As for representing during concerts? Come on man, really?

Regardless of what color they paint the "....." Dome (which I know the sponsor already), it's going to be nice to know that USF will be playing in a facility BETTER than 2-time NCAA champion Florida...who in fact plays in the same designed dome just with a swimming facility attached instead of volleyball.

Couldn't agree more

Agree. Besides, the seating and colors inside the Dome will be more reflective of USF's colors. The seats are green. It's better to get the colors right on the inside. Nobody complained that the outside of the Marshall Center isn't green and gold. The bulls are bronze, not painted. Geesh.

I really like the fact that nor every building is green and gold on campus, mixing it up using many color schemes create variety. Those colors are just fine if you ask me, we use the green and gold but the maroon or terra cotta makes them pop even more

BBall arenas are much better when they aren't designed for dual use with hockey games. The seats are much closer to the action, particularly along the endlines. Also, much steeper allowing for a much cosier atmosphere, with the fans right up on the players (and coaches, and refs). Thumbs up to the Sun Dome. Thumbs down to Madison Square Garden, old Freedom Hall, DePaul's Rosemont/AllState, etc, with the hockey dimensions and those rickety temporary folding seats behind the endlines with such a gradual slope that row 4 is so far from the action that you might as well be watching on TV. SLU had the right idea when they left that Kiel/Savvis/ScottTrade dual-purpose mess and opened their on-campus Chaifetz Center with similar dimensions to the Sun Dome.

You make a great point, but I wouldn't lump in MSG in the mix. When the Rangers play hockey there, they look shoehorned in, nothing like the smooth curves of hockey played at the Forum or any standard hockey arena.
