Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

What do you think?

I went to the USC game and love the entire facility, including the court itself.....

OK, who voted "Dont Care"....? lol.....If ya dont care, why did ya even look at the poll?

Here's a thought... If the court, in any way, gives the Ducks a mental advantage in games they play, I love it!

This is as close to an Oregon version of "Smurf Turf" as I care to get, though!

From Bob Clark at the RG...

A TV camerman told me it was difficult to shoot the game because the court is multi-colored, and the cameras have to be adjusted as the action goes from one end through the lighter-colored midcourt area and back into the browner areas.

Wounded...It didnt come across as being "gimicky" such as the Smurf Turf, as it is surrounded by a top notch surrounding facility, second to none at this point in time....The Smurf Turf is just blue carpet in a crappy stadium setting..
Matt Court is way beyond that in a very classy way.....Its innovative.....That's my take on it...Its an awesome place to watch a game in person...Not sure about on TV...Will check that out today...But, lets face it...those watching a game on TV have zero impact on win/loss record, converse to those watching a game at the facility....I like that the Ducks continue to be cutting edge, and expect for other new arenas to pick up on something more than just a plain or bland painted floor....

It looks sick as f*ck. I loved it.

I don't think "gimmicky" was the intent, but there are definitely some players who can be distracted by unfamiliar things, such as the pattern on Matt Court.

Like I said, any advantage is welcome.

While not being able to recognize details such as the half-court line are distracting to viewers, I believe the players are practicing there enough that an over and back call against the Ducks is a brain fart, not the failure to recognize where the mid-court line is located on a regular basis.

Hey we won the first NCAA tournament in history. I think it's pretty important to honor and remember that accomplishment and I think this is a very cool way to do that.

Apparently it's against the law to be different or have any pizazz. f*** em!!! I love it.

Only real problem i have with the new arena is the horn. It's just a weird grinding sound instead of an actual horn.

It's OK, I'm kind of indifferent to it.

Hadnt really contemplated this aspect, but, you are very correct.....

its not caring about the court not about the poll.
