...and it looks great, unlike in the picture on GoDuke last week:

(I like how the wood and brass exactly matches the Cameron railings).

Construction pics (also showing the new end zone scoreboards):

Note that they are also preparing the floor for its annual repainting and haven't added the new 3-pt lines yet.

Not much character, though. Maybe they can put some gargoyles on the corners.:D

Sweet!

Very majestic. Can't wait to gaze upon it.

Looks kinda close to the floor. Guess OC will simply have to jump over it starting at the opposing FT line for one of his soon to be patented 360 degree, windmill reverse slams;)

O/W, pretty :cool:.

Actually it was designed that way so that our many shorter guards can just run under it while the opposing big men get wiped out trying to set up down court. Now you know why Coach K has been recruiting so many guards. Smart man, our coach.:p

For the one on the wall, I found it interesting that they notched out just enough wood so that you could read Daktronics...

Looks good, but it's difficult to get a feel for it without it turned on yet.

will that white bar in the middle (of the main scoreboard) be filled with a permanent sponsor's placard? i see that the top and bottom row of sponsors will be a video screen now

Looks like video and stats won't appear at the same time. I guess video will be during timeouts.

That is very nice. I like how it really meshes with the decor.

Looks a lot better than I thought it would, can't wait to see it in the first few games.

I am curious as to why you didn't think it would look good (if that was your thought)?

Didn't so much think it would look bad, but I didn't think it would look as good as it does.
