For those who saw, what did you think? For those that did not, you should check it out on youtube. Pretty cool.

Very very cool. I was looking at the hardware during the JV game and was wondering what it was going to look like.
I heard it was $70,000.00 all in.
Was watching it live and was thinking how absolutely amazing it would look in Waverlys Downtown Arena.

Not a fan either but it is surprisingly well done and the Burg has the program to back up its swagger.

Loved it !! It's a great show for the kids who are playing and the younger generation to make them want to play

I liked it a lot, I think you'll see some other schools go towards things like this in the future as well.
I'm also cool with just a regular intro, but I do get pumped each time schools shut out the lights.

$70k? If that is the case how many schools in Appalachia Ohio could even afford that? Very cool but I would think most schools would have much more pressing needs.

Wheelersburg has rich donors. I am assuming some of that was privately funded to the basketball program.

My assumption is that it wasn't that much. The guy that put it together is a computer/gamer guru and is a part of the basketball program, probably has ways to get cheaper equipment. That's just my thoughts, don't know if true or not.

Woby, you would be correct. But, leave it to some to whine or complain: "what about us".

No it wasn't. Way lower than that, that was the quoted price from another company.

Very nice, a little long for my tastes, though.
