Milwaukee's Bradley Center is no stranger to back-to-back events on a single night, but last Saturday, March 3 proved to be an even bigger day than normal for the building.
The BC hosted three different events in less than a 9-hour period. Marquette tipped off at 1 p.m. and beat Georgetown, followed by a quick changeover to the ice and a 7:30 p.m. Milwaukee Admirals puck drop. The Ads won 6-0, by the way.
Finally, following the hockey game, the BC did yet another changeover into a concert layout for a post-game set by Styx.
Three layouts in one night, and more than 33,000 people. A big chore, indeed, and the BC captured much of it via a time-lapse video that ran from 11:30 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. It doesn't show the Styx concert, but it's pretty cool to see the court change from hoops to hockey so I thought I'd share it.
