From Basketball to Rodeo to Hockey in 2 minutes
They played this between periods of today's Blackhawks game. The United Center hosts not only the Bulls and the Blackhawks, but occasional other events as well. Here is a time lapse video of the venue being changed from basketball to rodeo to hockey. Pretty neat to watch.

Amazing how long it takes to set up for the rodeo.

Wow....that's amazing.
It looks like they pre-freeze the ice blocks then put them down?

No - the ice is always in the ground. For basketball, they put the court on top of it. When it's time for the game, they lift all the panels to expose the ice. |

ah! I guess that would make a lot more sense than having to keep on refreezing blocks of ice.
