Message: [QUOTE="OrangeXtreme, post: 2193287, member: 41"] NHL/NBA arenas have the ice rink as the base layer (because of the piping in the concrete that keeps the rink frozen). The basketball court is installed over the rink. In the Dome, the field turf is the base layer, and can't be removed after it's installed. The basketball court is placed over the turf. The one time the Crunch played in the Dome it took almost a week to install a temp rink over the turf. How can you engineer a facility for hockey/basketball and football at the same time? Do you put the turf over the rink? Do you install a temp rink over the turf? How can you play hockey on Friday and be ready for football or lacrosse the next day? I was always under the impression that the Water St project was a 15,000 seat replacement arena for the War Memorial for BB/Hockey/Concerts only. [/QUOTE]
