The NCAA Floor in Boston.
Has anybody noticed that the NCAA floor in Boston is parqay (I think that is how its spelled, but I think its butter, LOL.). All the other NCAA courts used for the last two weekends have aren't.

Definitely an homage to the traditional floor at the Boston Garden

Probably some type of requirement in order for them to use the building.

We New Englanders wouldn't have the floor any other way.

Oh, it's "Parquet."

It's not nice to fool mother nature
Rule #1 of multi-use arenas. Never screw around with a basketball floor laid down over an ice rink.

Never.

Use the floor they always use.

Unless you want a lesson in all kinds of stuff involving condensation, wet bulbs, dew points, and fog.

The floor in question is NOT "the floor they always use"...it is simply a parquet floor that pays homage to the tradition of the Boston Garden past and present parquet floors.
