Courts
After experimenting with custom-made courts during the previous year's tournament, the NCAA began importing custom-made identical portable courts and Spalding backboard supports (if needed) to all tournament sites in 2010. The custom court began with the 1986 Final Four and was expanded for identical courts in 2007 for the regional semi-final and final round sites, before being used for all sites starting in 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word courts:
“And about her courts were seen
Liveried angels robed in green,
Wearing, by St Patrick’s bounty,
Emeralds big as half the county.”

“Expensive advertising courts us with hints and images. The ordinary kind merely says, “Buy.””
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory:”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm LXXXIV (l. LXXXIV, 9–11)
