Major renovations got underway at FHSU Gross Memorial Coliseum June 15.  The basketball floor will be completely replaced with a new floor that’s more forgiving to athletes.  The old floor has no cushion underneath it; it was placed on top of the existing tartan surface creating a very firm playing surface. 

The new wood floor will be have a modern playing surface with a cushioning layer underneath it, causing a slight  “springboard” effect when athletes run on it and thus reducing wear and tear on their bodies.
