Lighting in Mississippi Coliseum

[dawgatUSM]

Is it horrible or is it just my Tv?

 

[HotMop]

Your best advice would be to get TV advice from DawgStudent. He gets a new one every week.

Looks fine on my TV.

^^^^^^this

Lighting looks fine but the floor needs to be repainted.

Logan Lowery tweeted that at least 16 lights were out and that the lighting was horrible in person.

I knew something was up. It looked like the lighting was spotty... like really bright in some areas and dark in others

Just wait till they hear about LED lighting.

I've been going to our games there for years, and it seem like the shot clock has always (?) been a problem.

Last night’s issue was that the actual game clock is so 17n antiquated that the official scorer had no way to “reset” to the tenth second. They were forced to manually anticipate the point at which to stop the clock at the closest tenth second. The opposing coach was laughing his *** off at the absurdity.

Close enough for gubmint work.

He was laughing but seemed pissed off. Probably just gamesmanship trying to steal one.

It is currently a combination of old, halogen lighting and newer LED. In person, it appears there are not enough lights. That place is old.
I think if they’d paint the ceiling and upper walls black, I bet it would help. But they still need new lighting.
The seats are a long way from the court too. That messes up the feel and view as well.

And yet they’re adding a new state of the art trademart to that old dump.

 

[EurekaDog]

Wish they'd raze that building, if for no other reason that it would force...

the MHSAA to move the state BKB tourney around the state every year.

 

[Go Budaw]

Can’t do that....wouldn’t want to disturb the Jackson Volcano underneath. And to think how fortunate we are to only be worried about dead Indians....

Perhaps a few safely well-placed sticks of dynamite would be a good option?
