The New Buck's Court

Old

"inspiration"

New

Everyone is free to their own opinion...but I clicked the "Bucks Reveal New Floor" link with anticipation and excitement, only to come away with the feeling "I guess I shouldn't be surprised."

It's not that it's a bad court...it's just that it's really only a court. It works...it doesn't look bad (in fact, I think it looks better than the old court)...but that's about it. It's a basketball court, and one that, when the process included the MECCA as inspiration and collaboration with a local artist, really seems to have missed an opportunity to impress. 

So I guess that's my opinion. It's a fine basketball court, but in terms of "innovation" or even "art", as the MECCA floor has come to be, it falls flat.

I guess it's what I should have expected from a PR-minded company...slightly better than the last one...no where near the "icon" it could have been.
