On September 1st, 1999 ground was broken on a multi-purpose arena what would be home to both the Dallas Mavericks travel to india bombay of the NBA and the Dallas Stars of the NHL. The arena was named American travel to india bombay Airlines Center (AAC) and opened in July of 2001.
While it doesn t occur often, every once in awhile, the Stars and the Mavs schedules conflict and the teams are forced to play home games on the same day. This occurs today as the Stars play the Edmonton Oilers at the AAC at 1:00pm, followed by the Mavs verus the New Orleans Hornets at 8:0opm, also at the AAC.
The designers of the AAC prepared for days like today by creating one of the most sophisticated retractable seating travel to india bombay systems, which allows for the AAC to be converted from an ice rink to a basketball court (or vice versa) in less than two-three hours. The same process took over eight-hours at Reunion Area, former home of both the Mavericks and the Stars.
A team of 40-60 people are divided in to five-groups which are responsible for the floor conversion. On a day like today where the AAC will have to go from ice rink to basketball court, the process includes: travel to india bombay removing the 120 dasher board pieces and the 96 panes of glass that surround the Star s rink, sliding out some of the retractable seat sections from underneath the higher level seats, dropping off the seating pods in the north and south ends of the arena via forklift, setting up the sideline seats and press tables by hand, and placing the 240 maple pieces that make up the Mavericks court by hand.
The fastest transformation occurred on December 29th, 2007. That day the Mavericks 110-87 victory over the  Atlanta Hawks concluded at 2:32pm. By 4:20pm, the Zambonis began their work, resurfacing the ice. By 6:30pm, travel to india bombay the arena doors were opened, and the ice was ready for the players to begin warming up. Finally, at 8:00pm the puck was dropped for what turned out to be a 5-4 victory for the Stars over the St. Louis Blues.
Although the Mavericks and Stars schedule do not conflict often, 2011 s NBA lockout could be to blame for today s schedule conflict in particular. Regardless, both teams will be able to play at home today without ever having to see each other at the AAC.
