    FD311, the court font isn't the most important aspect of the new arena...

    The lettering is hideous. The silver/gray is trendy.

    I don't like that gray inside the arc either; I agree it should just be the color of the wood right there. No complaints about anything else....a secondary logo would be nice though.

    Hey guys! The arena looks great. I'm really hoping I can check it out this season. I'm just thankful that the Rocks are playing in Little Rock on Oct.12. While looking through all of the pics of the Toyota Center, I noticed that I didn't see a statue of Hakeem. Didn't Les tell us at Hakeem's jersey retirement ceremony that there would be a life-sized statue at the new arena entrance? Has anyone noticed any signs of the constuction or know when it will happen? Thanks!

    Yeah, there is a little platform outside, I believe. I haven't been there but I've seen pictures of what will be the spot. IIRC, things got delayed since Hakeem doesn't want an exact replica of himself, due to his religion I believe. So they kind of have to think up new designs and stuff that will give tribute to him but not really "him." Or something like that. :confused:

    Guys....the floor is much betterlooking in person! It is very nice. Maybe that picture is just too dark or something...

    Or maybe I have bad taste.

    But I'm in that picture too!

    Let's play Where's SLA?!? :p

    I'm not a big fan of the grey, either. However, I have to say that I like the court as a whole a lot more in the picture where you can see the entire thing, rather than the close-up. Probably too late for a change on the grey this season, but maybe that's something that can be fixed in the future.

    Remember how everything inside the 3 point line used to be all blue with stars the first season with the pinstripes?

    These things can be fixed, it seems.

    I think the floor would look better if the key was the same style as the sixers have red in the middle and on the sides would have been grey.

    My wife knows the contractor and when he rented the drum sander he told her why. When the machine came back Sunday it had a lot of pink to reddish dust left on it. He told her that they had to make a color adjustment to it and had to sand it down & redo it.

    That was the greatest floor design ever.

    This one reminds me too much of the old one at Chicago Stadium. It's not bad, just p l a i n .
