Global Spectrum, the management team behind the WFCU Centre and dozens of other arenas across North America, has put together this time lapse of the conversion between hockey and basketball.
The Windsor Spitfires played on Thursday November 1st, and the Windsor Express held their inaugural game on Friday. On Saturday, the Express played again, followed quickly by Spitfires again on Sunday.
The time lapse shows the elaborate process of removing perimeter hockey glass, covering the ice surface with hard boards, assembling the basketball floor, playing, then reversing and changing back to hockey.
