American Airlines Center Conversion

One minute thousands are enjoying a great game of basketball -- it ends, they all leave, and just a few hours later the puck drops on Dallas Stars hockey.

Amazing

American Airlines Center is a versatile facility, shifting from basketball to hockey to concerts or football in minutes, not hours, if need be. They are called changeovers, and they happen a few times every year. When to very different events are scheduled at the arena in the same day.

It's hypnotic just watching the ad boards on the scoreboard and around the arena switch.

when you shit the scoreboard off you have to reset everything after you turn it back on

just a guess but i mean each game has a diffrent program and diffrent people who advertise at their event.. so i mean they could just be running through the program to make sure it all in working order. like i said just a guess. it does seem a little useless though ...

why is it that they need the scoreboard and the ad ribbon boards going whilst they are converting the arena?

You got the description the wrong way round. You said it goes from basketball to hockey, but the vid goes from hockey to basketball. Cool vid though
