VIDEO: Gamecocks Unveil New Basketball Floor at Colonial Life Arena
Oct. 11, 2016
South Carolina's head basketball coaches, Frank Martin and Dawn Staley, had input into the design, in addition to senior administrative staff. The floor design that was chosen represents a classic and clean look.
"We looked at a lot of different designs," Strunk said. "It has all of the traditional elements with what we define as our brand. It has the Block C at midcourt. The Palmetto Trees are worked into the corners, and it's primarily garnet. One of the things I like is that the woodgrain that is used for the majority of the court is lighter, so it appears to be a more natural finish as opposed to the old court which was a little but more `yellowish.' "
The floor will arrive on pallets and the individual pieces will fit together like a jigsaw puzzle from the center of the court, branching outward. The old floor will be taken to campus surplus where it will be sold at a State auction.
