Great Time-Lapse Video, Basketball to Hockey in 2 hours
I'm not a big sports fan, by any means. This video was fun to watch, though. It involves two sports that aren't NASCAR, and some tight scheduling. I understand that there's one sport (that isn't NASCAR), called Basketball, that is played on a specialized surface. In this case, it's wood. There's another sport (that isn't NASCAR) called hockey, that's played on ice. In Raleigh, NC, both are played in the same facility, the RBC Center. The thing is, the basketball game started at 2pm, and the hockey game starts at 7. Once the basketball game ends (when one side gets 15 points, maybe? Maybe one of my readers is familiar with this uncommon game), the crew has approximately two hours to convert from the wooden basketball court to an ice surface. They did it in one hour, nineteen. Watching it happen was, to me, the most enjoyable moment in sports I've had since the last pit-stop of the NASCAR season.
