    I'm not sure if anyone told you, but it's a church now. ;)

    Yes,
    and the spot where the preachers preach, that's where Maxwell hit that 3 to solidify our victory in game 7 against the Knicks.
    :cool: :p

    that court was a mess.


    inside the three point line was blue. the circle was red, and the paint had no paint.

    the out of bounds boundry was blue with stars.

    the bottom of the midcourt line had smoke and stuff coming from it.


    too bad it lasted for one year.

    First joel Osteen makes a mockery of the christian religion, and then he defiles the place that I fell in love with basketball in : (.

    The floor in the CC was removed when the church was put in.

    I don't get the nostalgia for the Compaq Center. It was ok, but the sound was lousy and it was dirty as hell. If you ever went in the underneath part where the locker rooms and press areas were, it was a hellhole. There were cables hanging from the ceiling and the facilities for players and press were awful.

    It was a decent facility for many years, but it's time had long come and gone.

    I love that floor. I always liked floors where the area inside the 3pt line was colored. The old Hornets floor was my favorite.
