So... If I am understanding this correctly.... you are going to the University of Iowa and buying their used gear (thus supporting them)? Was your intent to have your money go to keeping Barta on the payroll?
Hilton floor is for sale
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
There may be a reason I got mine first... just saying3 pieces!? Bending the rules there Mr Insider
A couple things of note for people. The piece comes mounted on plywood so it's a good 2.5 to 3" thick, and pretty heavy (for hanging on a wall). Good news is it's thick enough you have a ton of options on making 1 or 2 mounting holes in the back.
It comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and both that and the piece say where it's located on the map (i.e. BB8). On the back of the piece is a map of the floor with all of the location symbols so you can see exactly where your piece came from. Kind of fun finding the location and seeing how the front make a giant puzzle.

Here's one piece that is the upper right part of the A at mid-court.
I went one step further and inquired on how much space it would take, then did the mental gymnastics of time/effort/resources to piece it out.
So, why didn't you go for it? I just knew that it was going to be a bigger job than I was estimating. But I still wonder if I could have cleared some good money with a project like this.
The thing that made me mad is that I was charged but they decided to refund and not give me the floor.
I just got an email from ISU Surplus about the floor sale. ISU is offering early access to the sale for people who previously tried to buy sections of the floor during the initial sale attempt. It is special invite only (they must have a log of the email addresses of those who attempted to buy earlier). It opened today at 2. I just got in and scored a couple of sections, so it seems to be working...
If you tried to get sections before, check your email of the address you gave them.

Same here. I'm so glad they kept track of those of us that tried (and maybe submitted our cards) and then didn't get them and got this opportunity.
Bummed center court was sold out, but oh well!
Yup I had a center court in my cart the first time. Settled for the big 12 logo.
