Watch: Notre Dame gives Purcell Pavilion court a facelift

As times change, so do basketball courts. Whether it’s because of wear and tear, the need for a new design or the money to do it simply was there, the time eventually comes for a basketball court to be replaced. The time had come for Notre Dame to update the court at Purcell Pavilion, but nobody on the outside knew that because there never was an indication that it was coming. We know now because that’s what we saw in this video that jointly was tweeted by both basketball programs:

Naturally, the new look will take some getting used to after the old look was around for so many years. A few fans might be made that the shamrock is gone, but the iconic letters are prominent at center court, so maybe that makes up for it? In any case, don’t be surprised by what you see the next time you see the Irish in person or on TV.
