I like the murdered out effect. They ought to paint fans on the walls to make it look larger.

I think it looks a lot better. A "blackout" game would be sweet and probably be pretty visually appealing if they were able to pack the nest for it.
At the end of the day though, its still a middle school gym. Wish we had something to look forward to, or even just some sort of plan in place. I'm sick of defending our "arena" every time someone comments on it, lol.

The gym seats ~1,000 and there are 31,000+ students. There is no reason why the gym isnt packed every single game, with at least students.
There is no pressure whatsoever to change the gym when only 700 people show up.
12,000 raving lunatics show up to a kings game to watch them lose, day after day, season after season, you gotta ask yourself why at least 2,000 of these 'basketball fans' dont find their way to a J street gym?
President Woke has no plan, he is riding the golden parachute retirement gig of California. Let the next schlep worry about it. It has been the same with Gerth, Gonzo and now Woke.

Looks good. And :lol: @ painting fans on the walls.
That said, I think DP turns this program up a notch and students/fans will turn out for this program. At the meet and greet last month, the new vibe around the program is pulpable. :twocents:

Using that analogy, the Kings can’t fill the Golden 1 Center, and they weren’t filling Arco, so maybe they should have stayed there. The school does a very poor job promoting the games. The food options are embarrassing. The excuse by athletics is that they don’t have control over the concessions. There are better concessions at a junior high game. They should close that and have three or four food trucks and a beer garden. And promote the heck out of it. So many breweries in Sacramento now they should be able to find a few willing to serve their beer before and during games. Winning always helps but we had a real good football season and attendance was poor. Total lack of promotion for basketball the last few years. Expect that will change with a new coach. Hopefully it will help. We have had periods of filling the Nest and it never led to a new gym. It will take a President willing to make it a priority, and one who has the ability to make it happen.

At least the KINGS had an 8-season stretch being among the best in the sport. During this millennium no less.
Despite being an FCS program, if the Hornets ever produced an 8-season run of similar success something tells me they'd have little trouble drawing at least 2k fans consistently thus necessitating the larger venue.
Made it to a VB game last weekend. The black ceiling in the Nest is pretty dope and makes the place feel bigger than it is. The green walls offer a nice contrast as well with the new LED lights. I'm interesting to see how the new video board will look as I've been told it's supposed to take up most of the wall.

Good to hear.
If lipstick on a pig is all they can manage, at the very least it better be an improvement.
Probably will look like St. Mary's.
