Is there a way to buy a piece of the Court they are replacing at Pete?

Yea I was wondering the same thing. I think they'd make a significant amount of money. For a nerd like me, that would be priceless and be a must have for the Pitt Cave.
 
Aren't they just sanding it out? Them putting in a new logo? That's what Barnes indicated months ago
 
Confirming; he def said its too thin to be sanded down again; brand new court coming. Thats actually a good idea tho; i'd probably get a piece of the court for 50-100$
 
I can confirm too. He also told me they are replacing the court and working on better branding of the practice areas of the Pete. Especially the practice court. Oh, and they are doing the ribbon board all the way around the Pete.
 
I hope there is some discussion about pricing different pieces differently.

For example....purchasing all the wood in the letter P for example....would draw a bidding war I would imagine....same with the remaining letters. Absent the whole letter...I would think charging for a piece of the logo would bring more than charging for just "a piece of the floor"

Also......the spot where say...... Ronald Ramon beat Notre Dame (or was it WVU?) with a baseline jumper at the buzzer......or Ashton Gibbs saving Pitt with a long three over Providence.

Again..... those pieces of the floor should command more value than just selling off all pieces as equal parts.
 
The piece of court you buy comes with a diagram of its location along with facts about what great things happened on that piece of wood.
You could really do it up.
 
Barnes' words went something like:
They told me that if we sand the floor one more time, the nails would come up.
 
They probably could take it apart and assemble it up at Trees Hall, whose court is ancient. I hope they sell pieces of it, but if not, it should go up to Trees.

Would definitely have been cool to play on that floor; if they don't plan on auctioning it off, that would be a sweet deal for the students.
