New Volleyball TaraFlex Court for Hilton

[BoxsterCy]

"When you come to a volleyball match now, you are going to enter Hilton Coliseum and feel like you are in a volleyball arena," Iowa State volleyball head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said. "Aesthetically, it is going to change the environment and the atmosphere. I know it is going to look great on TV, you are going to know it is a volleyball match as soon as you turn on the channel, and you will know it is Cyclone Volleyball."

Looks amazing & is a well-deserved upgrade for our program.

Got a sneak peak of this earlier this week from my brother in law.

this is awesome in so many ways....love how cool it looks....not just a "blue" floor.

I love this, mainly because all the lines will be off the basketball court during the early part of the season, but also because Volleyball deserves it!

Very cool. Assuming that this type of floor is top-notch. Surprised no other schools have it. Does it roll out over the basketball floor? Or do they take out the basketball floor to put this in?

I assume this goes over the basketball floor. It can be "portable" but not sure how involved setting it up is how it is stored when not in use. It's the surface they use in the Olympics (after looking it up) and lots of colleges, including volleyball elite Nebraska have this.

The more I read about this the more I think this is kind of a big deal.

Anyone know what we paid for this?

Brother in law told me about this too- he said something to the effect that once it is loose, you use a leaf blower and the air underneath it allows you to slide it around easily

Looking closer and it does look like the basketball floor is off like it is for non-basketball stuff like engineering fairs and such during the offseason. That will have to change in November when volleyball, MBB and WBB are sharing Hilton.

The TeraFlex is on top of the basketball court.

Yeah, looking at it again I think the curtain threw me off some, it is full court size to cover.

I was wondering the same thing but I saw the court extensions at either end that the basketball goal standards sit on. If it was on the concrete floor the VB court would likely be a perfect rectangle. I'd be curious to know how this will affect the finish of the BB court. Any dust caught between the floors will start grinding into the BB floor finish. They may need to refinish the BB floor more often with this VB court.

It is still great to see for an up and coming program.

Curious as to why the I-State logo isn’t on the floor? Just the Big 12 and Iowa State Cyclones on the side?

The VBall Iowa State Challenge has been a good showing for the new court. But, it also seems to have one odd side effect as noticed by me and commented on by the pxpers.

Any sort of glistening moisture beads up and shows readily on the new matte surface, vexingly apparent. The shiny surface of the basketball court may have hid the moisture, though not the hazard, more readily. More and seemingly thorough mop-stops during matches is now expected.
