Bulldog's Home Court Installation Begins at the Save Mart Center

Fresno, Oct. 18 - Installation of the Fresno State Bulldogs home basketball court began on Friday and will continue through Monday. 

 

Below is a gallery of photos shot on Friday (Oct. 17) as the work began to install the court floor of the Bulldogs at the Save Mart Center at Fresno State.  The basketball court is set in place in a series of interlocking sections.  Much of the work Friday centered on ensuring that the floor was a perfect fit in the new Save Mart Center

 

In the photos below the massive scoreboard is in a position much lower that normal.  The scoreboard can be lowered to the court or raised completely to the top of the arena.
