Arena Talk

My guess is not much of a change. ESPN is pretty entrenched in the 6/8 TV windows and they broadcast all of the SEC games. We may skew a bit more toward 8 as there are three schools in ET compared to one in the present Big 12 setup.

That said, there may be fewer spots on an ESPN Network for SEC games given the number of teams, meaning some get pushed to ESPN+/SECN+ -- there is more flexibility for 7pm tip offs on streaming platforms. And OU definitely prefers 7pm, as all of the non conference ESPN+ games are at 7pm.

I did a sampling of a few weeks of this season and the SEC Network games are usually on the 6/8 schedule, although one week they are 5:30/7:30 (with the 5:30 games originating in the eastern time zone). Maybe some 7:30 games would help a little.

No way. it is straight orange. i will die on this hill

I may have missed something along the way, but has there ever been an explanation for the color? It seems so ridiculous, and there is such an easy, quick fix. Has the administration ever addressed it?

This is orange. If you really can't tell the difference, you need to get your eyes checked.

I see a difference in the lower portion of our seats. I do not see a difference in the upper sections.

I tried to be as fair as possible and pick the seats that have good lighting but I inserted the pics of GIA and LNC into a color analyzer website and came up with below...

The first image is GIA, the second is LNC

It's orange

Id like to take off the top levels and make them boxes with seating. new seats in the 2nd orange section. more straight up like an arena and not a concert venue. To start... if we cant get a new one.

Wuuut? The top one looks less orange than the bottom lol. Color matching is nearly impossible of course bc lighting is crazy

I agree. They should close the concourse too and cover up all the concrete. If we’re not getting a new arena, we should renovate LNC to make it a decent basketball arena. It’s currently like watching a game in a concrete mausoleum.

The LNC has been a concrete weight hanging on the program for 15yrs at least.

Maybe they’ll be able to model it after the Moody Center which is multi purpose With a very large arena floor space but also suited to basketball with retractable seats.

Good riddance orange seats!
