Message: [QUOTE="HoustonCuse, post: 1766973, member: 87"] I wonder what it takes to do things like projecting graphics on the court like they did at the Final Four. That is an awesome effect. The interesting thing is that previously you couldn't do the neat team intro effects or other dramatic presentations because the lights could not be turned off/on quickly enough. With LED lights, they will be able to do that, but with a clear roof, you still won't be able to make it dark in there for day games. Either way, this looks like it will be a nice update. In some ways 200 million seems like it will run out very fast when you consider the scope any updates. I just checked though and the entire NRG Stadium here in Houston (home of the Final Four this year) only cost ~$350 million to build in 2000. That is a wikipedia number and seems nearly impossible to believe when you look at the scale of the place and the expensive amenities it has, like a retractable roof, retractable turf, etc. [/QUOTE]
