Dome Refurbishment

Looks the the Dome Overhaul is set to go full steam ahead.
My Social ball team got notice last night that as of the 30th May for at least the following 3 months the Dome will be out of action for major court resurfacing and reconstruction of of the scoreboard and sound system.
Our social league is being moved to Port Adelaide for the remainder of the season.

Good to see it is definetly going ahead. I hvae heard, from a good source that there could be as many as 6 big screens!

I have also heard the same Booga. Further more, I hear it is not necessarily Murray.

The thing with the screens is even now the screen (actually its a projected image not a real LCD screen) is only used when fox is broadcasting the games. Unless there is a CCTV camera being used then the screens are pointless for most of the season, unless they are used for advertising. Also I've heard that the center scoreboard and the other scoreboard are being replaced, so the new screens might be part of that.

D16 - Totally agree, However, I would think if the 6 screens thing is true then they would be looking to have even the non foxtel games up there.
AFAIK Every game is filmed for coaching purpouses. So all we need is that to be linked to the screens with maybe one other camera on the floor.

very good to hear, this really is the kinda thing fans have wanted for a long time. It just brings a sense of excitement and feel of change to the team and the game experience. Hell i even got a little excited for the first game when they had those scrolling advertising, even though they were low quality it looks as if some effort is being made. Great move.

There ain't gonna be six screens kids. You might want to scale back your expectations a fair bit.

Scale back how far Isaac? Do we need to take a pen & pad to keep score?

Have it on good authority the refurbishment won't take 3 months. Is closer to 5 weeks. Pardon the pun, but I smell a rat with the afore-mentioned social comp pulling the pin so early.

What exactly will happen then?

What will be added, what will be replaced. How many screens will be added?

Which scoreboard will be replaced? The one above the court or the one with the full stats? Or both???

Bring back Mr Pringle.
The fight he had with Sam Dunk on court about 3 years ago was a classic.
