I thought the court looked poor on the video stream though I’m not sure how. It’s never looked that dark in person but somehow the camera work wasn’t picking up much light.

If the lights don't change, that's a really poor decision. The court looks good. Many fans can't see it well. I'm sure we'll fix it.


Not much to fix. They are set to meet TV standards. Only way to fix is to spend more money on more lights. That's not happening in near future.

There is plenty to fix when season ticket holders have to shield their eyes to watch the game. We're smart enough to light a small arena properly.

I really like the VCU and Richmond arena lighting.

At a gathering recently, Clunie spoke about the lights saying they were still working on them. From where I sit there was some glare, etc...but not a big deal to me.

I was sitting in the student section that is around where the visiting fans sit and it was bad at first but you get used to it.

Yes, it isn't bad from your seats. I'm glad the AD is working on it. We can get it right.

From my seats the lights are fine for watching the action on the floor. They’re pretty bad if I try to look elsewhere in Belk Arena though. So much for trying to spot which prospects are in attendance in the team corner.

Livestats worked as far as I could tell.

There was no radio for the exhibition game.

Lights are as they will be in the future. Although, I expect them to get turned up on the west end. That area was very dark relative to the east end. Noticeable in highlight videos.


Agreed it was definitely darker on the west end....too dark. The whole place feels dark TBH

Also you shouldnt be blinded when you look straight across the court

Closest I've ever felt to being in a painting by Caravaggio.
