gdu Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 FWIW, here is a CGI render of the court in the proposed renovations:Looks like 'Frogs Court' is a placeholder for 'Walsh Court.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFW2012 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Great work yall. Enjoyed the thread. Just a comment, for what (little) it's worth from a season ticket holder (yes, I've seen lots of losses):The arena is pretty dark the way the dome is raised/painted and how the lighting is situated. I'm not sure what kind of lighting changes are coming, but with the floor going down 6 feet, the lights may be even further from the court than they are now. I think a very light floor will brighten up and energize the place. The color/stain or SMU's floor is what I'm thinking. As a TCU alum, I'll also pass on that the university won't brand anything "Texas Christian" --- it's "TCU" all the way. I'd also guess that the Athletics department will prefer not to use the Frog logo in the floor design. gdu---Good catch on the "Walsh" in the rendering. Not surprising they were major donors tongue project considering their prior gifts to the physical performance center and AGCS end zone facility.

ivenovember Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 The basketball stadium will be named after Ed and Rae Schollmaier, they committed the first $10m for fundraising. Now to me, it sounds like "Daniel-Meyer Coliseum" will be no longer in it may be something like "Schollmaier Arena" or "Schollmaier Coliseum". Now it's not clear if the court itself will also be named after that or if it may be Walsh. Walsh donated a lot of money to the facilities that are shared directly between basketball and football (links the two stadiums) but Schollmaier also already donated $5m for the basketball practice facility previously. Might reach out to Del Conte for clarification.That being said though, I'd be cautious in using "Daniel Meyer Coliseum" on your design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCU has continued to use DMC throughout the fundraising and building process and has made no indication that a new name was even a possibility. I figured they'd sell naming rights to the new courtside club, hall of fame, and office building, but I didn't think they'd change the name of the coliseum itself. That said, the name "Daniel-Meyer" was just assigned by the Trustees decades ago in honor of Milton Daniel and Dutch Meyer (legendary coach)--there was no money tied to the name. Anyways, sorry for derailing the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of people outside of this area underestimate exactly how much TCU has to compete for attention just within the Metroplex alone. We have 3 other FBS level schools in this area, ya know. Besides, I don't think this was intended for too many people to get involved and for good reason. The contest just started, but I wouldn't expect too large of a turnout.

ivenovember Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yeah it's very unclear what the plan is, I read that part in a Star Telegram article, but TCU's website and designs and such, always call it "the new DMC" so it's confusing, along with the court name.I think the coolest part of the renovation is actually what they'll do outside the arena, making it more of a green are leading up to the basketball and football stadium opposed to parking lots, should look excellent.Regarding only 30 entries, you have to remember how small TCU is, it's literally one of the smallest D1 schools in the nation and the only comparable sized schools that have athletic programs even close to TCU are Wake Forest, SMU and Vanderbilt. Also, TCU's basketball program has been bad, for many years. I attended just a few years ago and I would walk in at tip off, walk down to the first row (students could sit anywhere, there was no student section), and I would kick my feet over the railing and, honestly, my feet would be about 6 feet away from being in bounds right at the corner of the court. I heckled many coaches (could hear ever word spoken in that stadium at the time) from that seat. Obviously with the addition of the Big XII the support has increased and they are building a great program, but it's a tough journey for sure. With these facilities, being in the Big XII and Coach Trent Johnson, we should be able to keep some key DFW talent which would allow the program to really take off.

Let me know what you guys thinkI like 'em both. They're a good mix of old school and modern.

mbannon92 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Does anyone know whether it's okay to submit multiple designs? I didn't see anything regarding that on the web page.
