EDIT:I just saw the recap and heres link: http://www.nba.com/games/20071019/NJNBOS/recap.html
Game ends at half.

[Gundy]

I always wondered how they converted arenas with hockey rinks to courts. I guess they just lay the wood right on top of it. What is converse, like 0 for 1000 on threads?

[Fitzy]

i saw this too, and yeh the game ended at half time

its stupid they would play it at a hockey rink

[J J]

(I'm surprised nobody started a flame)

Yeah, it was an issue of condensation for the ice, water was slowly starting to come out from the sides.

aren't a good portion of NBA arenas also NHL arenas?!? in which case, they'd put the flooring over the ice rink....can anyone confirm this?

[J J]

I think they would first put some kind of plastic or whatever(that makes the temperature go down for the ice, preventing it from melting) before the wooden flooring, I mean come on, ICE then WOOD? That spells disaster.

they would obviously put some layers inbetween the ice & the wooden parlay, that goes without saying....the thing I'm wondering is if this only occurred due to it (most likely) not being a world class arena like the NBA ones....

Maybe air conditioning problems? Maybe it was a hot day + problems with the air conditioning, thus making the arena warmer.

[JT_55]

I remember they turned a court into a rink once in a few hours, but never the opposite.

[Doobie]

As a matter of fact, I know the court at MSG is on top of an ice rink, I don't know how its done I've just seen them lay the hardwood right on top of the ice.

[ThaLiveKing]

They should have tested it, there's billion of dollars on the court.

I know that both the Bulls and Blackhawks play at the United Center. I have no idea about any others, but I know there are many that do share the stadium.

[ThaLiveKing]

Leafs and Raptors!!

[JT_55]

And the Canucks and Grizzlies played in GM Place before they moved to Memphis .

[shadowgrin]

Dallas Mavericks and Stars. Same with Knicks and Rangers as Doobie mentioned.

edit: Got mixed-up there for a while.

[Raps13]

Dallas Mavericks and Stars. Same with Knicks and Rangers as Q mentioned.

Atlanta Hawks and Thrashers
Boston Celtics and Bruins
New Jersey Devils and Nets (until this season)
Los Angeles Lakers, Clippers, and Kings
Key Arena in Seattle hosts hockey from time to time
Philadelphia 76ers and Flyers
Phoenix Suns and Coyotes did

Going from hardwood to ice starts by pushing in retractable seats and removing about 1,500 temporary ones. A hockey rink, at about 17,000 square feet, is more than three times the size of a basketball court. The arena holds about 18,500 seats for basketball and 14,000 for hockey. Workers remove the basketball goals and pull apart the court. They reinstall the walls and glass that surround the rink and reassemble benches and penalty boxes. Meanwhile, more than 100 slabs of decking--1 1/2-inch-thick fiberglass insulation surrounded by hard plastic--are removed to uncover the permanent layer of ice below. The process takes 15 to 40 workers about four or five hours. It takes about an hour longer to change from hockey to basketball because the retractable seats must be lined up and the temporary ones reinstalled. By NBA rule, the change must be finished in time for teams to practice at 9 a.m. on game days. "If you go to overtime or a concert goes past midnight, it tightens things up," he says.

lol nice visuals benji.

[mvpshaq32]

Just saw a commercial that High School Musical on Ice is going to be performed at Oracle Arena and Arco Arena so I guess both arenas are half ice rink too.

99% of all proffesional arenas can be converted to hold different events. Just because they don't do it on a regular basis doesn't mean they can't

Perhaps, though I remember Michael Jordan tweaking his ankle during a game in the Bulls' first round series with the Hawks in 1993 due to some problems that arose with the ice underneath the court.

[shadowgrin]

Get over it Andrew! So what if Jordan got hurt, the Bulls won the championship in that season anyway.

[Sauru]

lmao, live that post by benji

[J J]

Wow, that's boring and tedious work, especially if you do it almost every day.

[shadowgrin]

That's why they call it work. If you enjoy doing it then it's not called work.
