KENT, Ohio – The M.A.C. Center court has gone through a complete redesign, with Golden Flash teams retaking the court for full activities Wednesday.
The court has gone through its biggest renovation since 2006, with a bolder court design for the five teams that compete in the historic facility. The design features a larger center court Golden Flash logo, two lightning bolts that span the width of the floor and several other branding elements familiar to Kent State athletics.
The Memorial Athletic and Convocation (M.A.C.) Center on the Kent State campus has long been a bustling hub for intercollegiate athletics. Built in 1950 in honor of the brave Kent State students and alumni that fought in World War II, the M.A.C. Center hosts Golden Flashes basketball, gymnastics, volleyball and wrestling events as well as convocation and select entertainment events.
The court redesign is another step in the department's strategic plan, "The Game Plan." The court project, along with multiple projects this summer, is an example of Kent State making an investment in its identity and game atmosphere. The project matches the facility graphics that were installed in late January 2017.
The men's and women's basketball teams will have access to the court for workouts Wednesday. The first competition scheduled on the M.A.C. Center court is Sept. 8, when volleyball begins the Golden Flashes Classic against Butler.
