It must be burned out or got disconnected during the recent arena lighting upgrade. On my walk back to the sigma lot after games in the past you could easily see it. Not this season. BTW, the lighting upgrade is nice. Much easier on the eyes for fans but the court seems well lit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetorch Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 You can barely see it when it is on. They needed to put it on a tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stands are noticeably darker this year, very similar to how all pro NBA stadiums are. I like it, especially when there are people disguised as empty seats in these early games.

FromDaEastSide Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 They need to turn pushing the blue light switch into a event after every win. Put a plunger or a big button at the entrance to the student section. Cover the plunger with a clear box that can only be opened after a win "like Deal or no Deal" - find a sponsor to support it - you can have a player, student, alumni, fan push the button and the light turns on. The blue light was something unique about Chaifetz when it was opened and they need to capitalize on it. dlarry likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blue light: a traditional unlike any other....in that it isn't a tradition. I also caught some of the Seton Hall game this weekend and noticed they were playing in a grade school gym. Don't they usually play at the Prudential Center? Is that under renovation? Conflict that day with the Devils? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pakapablo Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Blue victory light flashing nice and bright after the Belmont win tonight. Could see it easily from the same spot I couldn’t see it after wins earlier in the season. billiken_roy and majerus mojo like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextYearBill Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 i had an event last night and had to miss the game... i recorded the game and managed to steer clear of spoilers.... but i knew there was potential for the blue light on my way home.... so i drove 15 minutes out of my way to avoid the sight of Chaifetz.... what an amazing treat waiting for me on my DVR...

Tweeting it to Slumbb, slunatics, Billiken athletics and Travis Ford would likely result in somebody seeing it. I think they are now very open to ideas that will get more students involved.
