The home of Ohio State basketball got a makeover this offseason.
As the Ohio State men’s and women’s basketball teams held their first official practices of the preseason on Monday, there was a new and improved scoreboard hanging above the main court at the Schottenstein Center. The court is also now surrounded by bigger and brighter ribbon boards, bringing a more lively feel to the Buckeyes’ arena.

In addition to the new visual elements, Ohio State also installed a new audio system at the Schottenstein Center this offseason, replacing the original 27-year-old sound system “with a modern, performance-driven design that includes new line arrays, a new back-of-house audio system, mixing console, and support infrastructure located 135 feet above the court.”
The renovations to the Schott, which were completed this summer, came with a $5.2 million budget approved by the Board of Trustees last year.
