Blackburn Court ON COURT PLEASE
So I'm watching Maryland at Navy.
Even that power basketball program at Navy knows you put the name/signature of the person to whom the court is dedicated.....ON THE COURT. Please get it there in Phase 3 renovation.

Agree 100%.
Someone needs to start a petition and start collecting signatures at the games. That will get the right attention.

It is on the court and runs most of the sideline.

It is not visible at all on TV unless there is a close-up of that side of the court sideline. The default camera angle that is used for 95% of the game does not show it at all.
If you are not a regular follower of the Flyers, then you would have no idea that it was even there.
It needs to be ON the court.

Obviously can’t dispute that, but it is upside down with respect to the main broadcast camera, and the color scheme for the lettering causes it to blend in, not stand out. Plus, when Press Row is up for games, I suspect the text is mostly if not totally obscured.

On the court with the signature is overdone and in some instances looks awful. This is clean and easy to read.

Easy to read, yes. Easy to see, no. Especially when the Press table is up for the games.

Let alone tv, it can't be seen by 1/2 those in the Arena that sit on press row side.The ONLY reason to not be on court, not SIDELINES, is for revenue raising item in that space

But the "University of Dayton" will be easy to see and that is what UD wants sold the most (and why its not XYZ ARENA in Dayton, Ohio).

If you are not a regular follower of the Flyers, then you would have No Idea who Blackburn is anyway. I get it that it matters to some, but I would think most do not see it as an issue either way if it shows on TV. As flyer fans, we know.

Exactly. If you are not a UD fan 99% of people watching on TV have no clue as to who Tom Blackburn is.
