Continuing with the trend of generating fan and media attention with an attention-getting athletic surface (á la Boise State University's football field), Cal State University, Bakersfield recently installed a blue basketball floor in its 3,800-seat Icardo Center.
The new floor will be used for home volleyball and men's and women's basketball contests and is portable, allowing CSUB to transport the surface to downtown Bakersfield to Rabobank Arena for select home games, according to the university. Center court features the school's Roadrunner logo overtop the Golden State itself. A photo gallery of the new floor can be viewed here.
The new court is the latest in a string of intriguing college sports floors, including last year's unveiling at the University of Oregon and this year's fan-picked court at Northwestern University.
