NCAA Debuts New and Informative Court Designs for 2016 March Madness

For any fan who gets curious during the 2016 NCAA tournament as to what round they are watching or where the game is being played, look no further than the court.

On Tuesday, when the First Four begins, the NCAA announced that every court will feature informative descriptions that should enhance the viewing experience. 

Here's what will be featured on the court:

• March Madness logos (which will change as tournament goes on) at half court
• "The Road to the Final Four" along the baseline
• Different color schemes
• NCAA tournament round
• City
• Arena
• Host school logo

In other words, there's no need to hop on your phone during the game to figure out the background details. The court will have everything you need.

It's not a bad idea to feature informative details on the playing surface—and the NCAA has found a way to do so without going overboard. None of the features on the court will distract the viewers from the game, something that would be disastrous during the sport's biggest event of the year.

Here's a look at the UD Arena (Dayton, Ohio) court:

Simple, yet informative.
