VandyDelphia Mike Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Compare these three photos. One from a Bobcats game, the other two from UNC/Davidson in Charlotte.I get that the Charlotte arena may host college games, and the fewer lines the better for aesthetic purposes. If it's two separate courts - why all the Bobcats markings, and the Bobcats website on the sideline of the college court? It seems like a tremendous amount of trouble to go to when the arena isn't home to a college program full-time.

chakfu Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 And the two-toned court makes the change much more complicated too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Sorry, but I don't get it. What exactly am I supposed to be seeing here which I'm not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Maybe the only interchangeable parts of the court are the outer edges and the inner part where the Bobcats logo is, is the only pieces that are shared with both courts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Sorry, but I don't get it. What exactly am I supposed to be seeing here which I'm not?Look at the tone of the wood between the top of the key and the 3 point line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Maybe the only interchangeable parts of the court are the outer edges and the inner part where the Bobcats logo is, is the only pieces that are shared with both courts.The panels for a portable floor are generally 4' x 8', so it is that hard to replace the panels for college specs.

ShinyHubCaps Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I can't study this picture because that entails looking at the Bobcats court, which makes me sick.But stomaching it as long as I can, I see that both courts have the two-tone across the arc, and it looks like a real pinch in the college court... I can imagine that they have interchangable pieces that aren't in the same dimensions (i.e. not rectangular, but maybe larger pieces with the curve of the arc), and it might be different because it's a new arena.I don't know, it's a mystery. Really good find though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Danimal Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I think it's pretty obvious that they do not have entirely seperate (but nearly identical) courts for the pro and college games. There are just a few pieces that change out.Now, I did wonder while watching the UNC game why they didn't just go ahead and replace the Bobcats logo in the center with a generic jump circle and/or change "Charlote Bobcats" on the end lines to just read "Charlotte"? It's like they did it kind of half-assed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhans203 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Why is the Three Point line so close? Didn't they move back the line one foot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 If the Bobcats own the building (and I don't know if that's true), why wouldn't they want their logo and name all over a court that was going to be nationally televised?It's marketing.And that IS the American Way.

The city of Charlotte actually owns the arena but the Bobcats "operate" it which means I guess they can put anything on the court that they want.

Delux247 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I can't tell, is the outbounds the lighter or darker stained wood? Are the sidelines different stains from the baselines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
