NHL to NBA in 3 minutes! Timelapse transformation of Toronto's ACC

Toronto's Air Canada Centre is home to the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs and the NBA's Toronto Raptors basketball team. Watch how Toronto's biggest indoor venue goes from having having an NHL hockey rink to having an NBA basketball court in a 3 minute time lapse video. #ThrowbackThursday

[@hunteroakley8380]

Tosta Details ok

[@jonathansellars885]

It’s not that cold……

[@iansteelmatheson]

the temperature in the building depends on the arena. a small one will be colder so it's easier to keep the ice in good condition. a high-end ice rink (and/or newer one in Canada) will be cooled from below, so it can be 20+ degrees inside (also when there's 20,000 fans in there the temperature goes up).
