I like it clean, not a fan of different colors between the edges (the yellow varnish) and the bright floor. If it was my big bucks paying for it, I would go with something like the Boston Garden look. The parquet floor design along with more variance in grain color gives it the timber feel representative of the state.  |

If I had any influence I would have suggested adding orange to the key at Ralph Miller Court so the entire floor was not so monochrome... just my $0.02.

I believe they are re-doing the men's and women's basketball locker rooms as well? I'm most excited for flipping the camera positions so instead of the empty donor seats, we'll be seeing the Beaver Dam on TV. I missed the news about switching sides for the camera locations?! That is a brilliant development! Yep, new sound system, new lower bowl seating and remodeled first floor bathrooms too: www.oregonlive.com/beavers/index.ssf/2016/08/oregon_state_announces_plan_to.html |

Why did they highlight "COURT" in BOLD Orange instead of having "RALPH MILLER" highlighted in Bold Orange? Shouldn't we be highlighting the coach's name? The guy who the court is actually named for?
"RALPH MILLER" highlighted in Bold Orange with the word "COURT" in black would be more appropriate IMHO. |

That is a good looking court. Nice and classic. No need to have some weird mural, or stampeding Beavers on the floor. Less is more when it comes to a good basketball court. Go Beavs! '95 Looks like old kitchen linoleum to me. I prefer highly polished, natural hardwood. If you want to be different how about parquet like the old Bahston Gawden. |

I like everything except for the key. I think it would
look better orange. With that said, I like Gill well enough
as it is. Keep it loud and intimate. Works for Duke. And
frankly, in most big coliseums, even if you can actually fill
all of the seats, about half the seats are crap if you actually
enjoy watching basketball. I can't see why you want to watch
a BBall game sitting in a seat where the players look like ants.

I can't see why you want to watch a BBall game sitting in a seat where the players look like ants. It's a coliseum as it should be... it has a historic feel and I love the place. For me they just need to gut/redo most of the upper seating. Leave the benches if they want... but the old wooden chairbacks are terrible and aisles are dangerously tight. Section 3 last year 3 older people actually fell over and down a row trying to squeeze in and out during timeouts. You might lose a few hundred seats, but we really have not needed the 9700 or for a while. If they could improve/upgrade the seating areas/aisles without major major expense and keep it at 8000-8500 it would be the best place to watch games in Pac12 that incorporates both the history and some newer amenities. |

When Gill is rocking (which means the Beavs are winning), there's no better place! Great memories over there. To me, a great venue as a student at OSU.

"RALPH MILLER" highlighted in Bold Orange with the word "COURT" in black would be more appropriate IMHO. It looks like you got your wish - Ralph Miller in Orange: Looks *very* classy to me! Go Beavs! |

I can't see why you want to watch a BBall game sitting in a seat where the players look like ants. I don't want an orange key, but I agree with everything else you say here. Basketball is definitely a game that gets better as a spectator the closer you get to the floor. Ideally, I like to sit so that my eye level is a little above or preferably below the basket (at least when seated). It really gives you an idea of how athletic the players are. |

I like the black key. The first version looked a little bland. Now
we just need some basketball!

Looks like Coach Baker used an old pic of Gill. Notice the Angry Beaver logo on either side of the Oregon State University? The OP in this thread has a picture of the new court paint, hence the entire point of the thread. |

I like the added color to the key over the earlier photo; this looks much nicer.
Go Beavs!
