[rocky_warrior]

It's happening....?

I was about to post the same thing.  Break it out!

If it's really happening, I wonder what they'll do for the 3pt line.  The Bucks replica floor only had the NBA line, I think.

So, are we breaking out the MECCA floor tonight?  See floor in this image

MU is playing a game in the Port of Milwaukee, on a container ship using the MECCA court.

Got it.

At the end of the video on the remade court the Bucks used they say part of the agreement with Robert Indiana was that it be for one game only and sanded off afterwards.  So that court is likely gone or repurposed.

The court will likely be sanded down and sent to Oshkosh for the Bucks d-league affiliate, the Herd to use.

The MECCA floor was used for the 2021 WIAA tournament (and presumptively for the Herd, too):

So, it's around and owned by the Bucks.

Different, or repainted to have OSHKOSH on it.  Also a TON of 3pt arcs, lol.

THEY MADE IT HIDEOUS!

No deal on the Mecca floor.  MU BBall Instagram account just posted videos of some players walking into Fiserv, and it's the same ol' court we saw the other night.

How in hell do you "break" a basketball court while it's in storage over the off-season, to the extent that it takes this long to fix/replace.

My only guess would be mold or broken pipes and water damage. Or fire damage.

Does anyone know what actually happened??

Does anyone know what actually happened??

I certainly don't, but on the broadcast tonight they said it wouldn't be ready until December. 

That surprises me, but labor is hard to come by these days.

[rocky_warrior]

At least the streetcar had an operable floor:

Lots of television eyes on that 12/11 UCLA/MU game. Hope by then they're back on "The Al McGuire Court" and not some Bucks hand-me-down.

That looks pretty cool.

Hopefully, we get our floor back soon, but there's worse things than showing we share a stadium with the NBA Champs.

Maid in China, hey?

[MUfan12]

Part of it is labor, part finding the time/space to paint and finish.

Bucks are at home through the 24th and back 12/1, so I'm guessing they lay it down at Fiserv that week and get it done.

The Bucks:  "Yeah, we'll just stash it away for a few years till Indiana dies, then we'll do whatever the fuk we want with it."

[rocky_warrior]

Seriously though, that twitter pic was quite the tease - with nothing to back it up.

It will be by then. As soon as Nov. 27th.

Do you know what happened to it?

that makes the most sense. St. John's used to put down a sticker to cover up the Knicks logo at center court and on the baselines.  I think now they replace the center court and baseline panels.

At this point I think a lot of Knicks fans would be happy to cover up the Knicks logo at center court and the baselines.

you must not now have been paying attention to the Knicks last season and now this season. They actually seem to be doing things right.

Fair enough.
