Imagine if we could have this at Hilton

I'm holding out hope for an actual cyclone leading the team out of the tunnel...with flames shooting out the top of it.

We'd need to make it our own though. We could sing Sweet Caroline instead.

Somebody disagreed. Obviously, they prefer Smoke on the Water.

Breathtaking? LOL - Love how they spent $$$ on custom lighting and great video board, only to have somebody's nephew edit and assemble that video and the graphics. I previously worked at an agency that did motion graphics for college and pro sports teams (like lineup introductions, recruiting videos, etc..) and what was in that UK video was what anybody could learn in day one of an online tutorial. I guess at $8M/yr to Cal, there's not even $25-50K left for a decent video.

OSU does it too.

That was a one-time thing for a Hilton Madness type event. Last I heard was that doesn't occur every game. You can tell because they actually have people attending.

Aren't we getting new lighting?

It has entered the "Construction" phase at 0% completion. It's been sitting there for a while though so maybe waiting until hardware orders are shipped in?

There was a thread a while back similar to this. Someone posted a video or gif of a hologram cyclone (tornado) center court. It was sooooo far beyond cool, and really would be original to our team. Anyone else remember that post?

I went to the Iowa St OSU game the year we broke the streak and I'm pretty sure they did the court projection. It didn't have the light show or anything of course though. And it was pretty dead.

You have to remember that this is the same athletic department that seriously considered moving JTS's old scoreboard to the Cyclone Sports Complex to save money. ISU is never going to spend money on cosmetics like this.

You mean we actually didn't do this?

They are replacing the old lighting with LED lights and new control board. So should be able to dim the lights before tip off

If I was a billionaire, I'd totally go in for a huge renovation of Hilton on my dime. Like, 25 mil type reno. Things like that and additions to JTS are regular shower thoughts for me.

Ditch jock jams and dim the lights 90's Bulls style. More importantly, ditch jock jams

That Rupp Arena video makes me think I am in K-Mart on Black Friday for a blue-light special.

 

[demoncore1031]

That would be cool, but a National Championship banner in the rafters would be cooler.

Yes, Hilton needs more Kris Kross

This, but unironically.

Holy Kris Kross reference batman!

We are able to dim the lights and turn them down real low. I was at Hilton Madness and they introduced everyone with a spotlight and dimmed lights! They improved the lighting.

I don't think that's any different from previous years. It still took 2 minutes for the lights to fully come back on.

Those are not updated lights. They are the same old Halogens. Did you notice how long it took for them to "warm up" to full brightness. That is why they cant do it for games. You need immediate brightness after intros.
