This happens here in maine. They play tourney games at 4 different venues to start 1/4 finals. Then they drop the 1/4 final venue in southern Maine, called the "EXPO". This is a "D League" Venue which is also home court to one of the Portland city schools. Actually a great place for tourney ball, but only seats about 3200. They then move to the "CCCC" venue which has very little basketball played their. It is marked with an NBA 3 PT arch and a high school 3 PT arch. They played A & B semis and State A finals here. You see the players strugle with depth perception on all outside shots. They seem to have a hard time adjusting as there is nothing behind the backboards. The stands are at 50' back on the endlines. So even the fans are way away from the action. But it seats about 5600. So they can fit more fans and MPA makes more $. They also don,t play any college ball here. Always seems like the teams strugle on this court.
