Boldly displaying the swashbuckling team logo at center court and framed on all sides in wine and gold, the Charge's connection to the NBA Cavaliers is immediately recognized. CANTON CHARGE is painted on the north and south ends and CANTONCHARGE.COM appears on both west side half courts, with "POWERED BY THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS" represented on the east side.
The NBA regulation court is made of an MFMA-approved (Maple Flooring Manufacturers Assoc.) hard maple, QuickLock portable system with extra absorption pads for more bounce. It measures 60' x 112' and consists of 233 full panels (4' x 7') and 14 half panels (4' x 3 ý').

The court will also feature new Spalding basket systems. The portable units will each weigh in at a hefty 3,700 lbs. and have a 10'8" boom extension from the front base pad to the front of the backboard glass.
