It may be old and overused, but it serves its purpose well with tempo and energy especially as a segue with the new intros. I think it will be harder to replace than people think. In part because it's cheap lol.

Also people have trouble clapping to that what makes people think we can do that for a more current song. I like that the intro song changes and the song when the names are announced stays the same.
Interesting some think its brighter, some darker. i thought it was same or close enough to last year in the upper deck.
I did like the way they varied the lights during intros to make it a little flashier.

Happy to eat crow here. I have to admit I was disappointed in the new lighting in the exhibition game, but was incredibly impressed with what I saw in the season opener. Overall, the new lighting and flashing usage was AWESOME!
As opposed to what, some crappy rap song? While you are at it why don't you get off my lawn!
Must say best use of the ribbon board I've seen in Hilton last night. Great graphics during intro video.
The old man yelling "get off my lawn" listens to jock jams.As opposed to what, some crappy rap song? While you are at it why don't you get off my lawn!
Definitely not a fan of the new lighting system. Sat in the parquet last night and it was significantly darker; almost making me sleepy in a way. Almost had same effect of dimming before a movie. Multiple times I was thinking what if the darkness effects "energizing" Hilton Magic. There is scientific research out there regarding light temperature effecting attitude and alertness etc.
Also as a shooter (we will shoot a lot of 3s with our line up) it has to mess with your depth perception. I noticed Matt Thomas seemed a bit off yesterday. Curious the transition of practicing in the Sukup facility then going into Hilton with different lighting atmosphere.
I recall in previous years we struggled shooting in the big arenas during postseason tourneys with depth perception and maybe due to the lighting. I wonder if this played a decision to mimic their lighting systems to prepare us for the bright lights/big stage. I've been to the large arenas we've played big12 and ncaa tournaments arenas (Pepsi CenterUnited center sprint center and Madison square garden) and all have similiar lighting.

Opinions gonna vary. I sit in the 5th row upper deck and love the new lighting scheme and introductions. It really seems to concentrate the focus of the building on the action.. The light seemed more white than the warm yellow of the past. The highlights I saw later on TV looked very nice. I did not find the upper deck dark at all.

Made a point to notice the lighting at the volleyball match this afternoon (they still use the old lights) and compare it to the LEDs for basketball. The upper deck appears to be identical, the arena circle and first few rows of the parquet have more lighting with the LEDs and the upper parquet is darker. Judging by the exhibition game and opener, I don't think it is going to effect shooting much.
All in all, the new lights are a major improvement in my opinion.

That's pretty dope but man that song just ruins it. The overall lighting however is a huge improvement, I've only seen it on TV but it really looks better.

GRiZ or Big Gigantic!
That video is awesome. You can spin your phone around and the video spins around too. Is that new or am I just completely out of touch?
