It's time for Hofstra fans to hold court on what the next basketball court design will look like.
Hofstra is holding a fan contest to design the basketball court at the Mack Sports Complex for the upcoming 2014-15 season, the school announced Thursday.
Fans can submit their design idea via email at courtdesign@hofstra.edu, on the Hofstra Pride Facebook page. (Fans can also show off their design on Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag #HofstraCourt.)
The school will then narrow down the entries, and a final fan vote will take place on GoHofstra.com to determing the winning design.
The deadline to submit initial designs is Dec. 2.
