After two games – both losses – Rupp Arena’s new floor is no more. John Ficks is the global sales manager for Robbins Sports Surfaces, which made the portable maple wood court.
“The floor was somewhat custom. It was not our standard design. After the floor have been used for a couple games. We were not satisfied with how the panels were fitting together. And we chose to, or we recommended, that we remove the floor and replace it as soon as possible.”
