Dome Refurbishments Update

Just saw this on the 36ers website:


Distinctive Homes Dome refurbishment
11/AUG/2007  The Distinctive Homes Dome is currently undergoing major refurbishments in preparation for the coming NBL season, but also so that the Dome may be used for many other events such as corporate shows, product launches, networking, conferences, banquets, etc and become a multi-purpose venue.

The new Cube Scoreboard and PA system have been ordered but take over 12 weeks to get here by boat, and then another 4 weeks to build once it arrives.

The changes are very exciting and below we have listed what you can expect to see over the coming months:

Over 40 new plasma screens throughout the venue - Completed
New Corporate Entrance - Completed by mid October
Completely refurbished Championship Suites - Completed by start of NBL season
New Sound System - Installed by beginning of December
New Audio Visual Equipment - Installed by beginning of December
New Scoring Cube - Installed by beginning of December
Re-surfaced court - Completed Now
New Backboards - Due in time for the start of the NBL season
New locker rooms - Completed
New gym with EFM - Completed
New Legends Lounge - Completion around end October
Completely repainted through-out - internally - due in time for start of NBL season
Upgraded Bathrooms - Completed
Upgraded Bars - Completed before start of NBL season
Upgraded back of house facilities including change rooms
Upgraded signage and lighting throughout - due in time for start of NBL season



It all looks great but I didn't realise that quite a few things won't be finished before the start of the season.

Got a sneak peek during the week, the court looks the best it has ever been and is up there in NBA style for sure.

Whats the layout of the court like? Is it nba style or messy nbl style (see cairns and tigers courts).

The NBA rule banning signage from the court surface is one rule that the NBL should adopt for sure.

good to see that we now have a clear idea of what is being done. Also will help potential complaints of people saying why has this or that not been done. Just nice for once to have a fair few positive things going on at our club.

I strongly agree "Oppinionated". Sponsors all over the court gives it an extremely messy and ugly appearance but if this means the NBL being short on cash then I'd rather keep the sponsors on the floor. Perhaps just have the major sponsor (if there is going to be one) on the floor.

See the little rats nests with big black rat bodyguards on the doors.

Mummy and Daddy rat stepping out with their Dolce Gabbana and Armani suits.

They will have their miniature 'Bling' with 'Bogut Like' hair styles. It is called the 'Humans Tail'.

"Upgraded Bathrooms - Completed"? I take it you are a male and have not seen the Ladies toilets. They are anything but complete. The only thing completed that I saw was the court. It looks great.

bathrooms were not done.

Court was done and looked fantastic. Just one NBA style 36er logo in the middle with no other signage.

the main court at the dome looks really good, no more slippery stickers on there.

although will be a let down if they havnt fixed the other courts abit, because they are horrible to play on!!

very good job on main court, the lighting was good to so you could actually see!

Who cares if they havent done work on the other courts, as long as the main court looks good and is great to play on.

I was there yesterday and all 3 courts had been done.
For the first time I really liked the new sixers logo too. It looks awesome in the centre of the court.
I took a photo, might see if I can upload it.
