Changing the Game: How Glass Basketball Courts are Becoming Popular.

Chris Thornton loves talking about a new type of basketball court made of glass. These courts are made by a company called ASB GlassFloor and are designed to be safer and more visually appealing than traditional wooden courts.

The courts are made of strong safety glass that is layered over LED panels. This allows for customizable playing lines, logos, colors, and even animated graphics to be displayed on the court.

Although it seems strange to play basketball on glass, the company claims that the surface is actually safer and more flexible than wood. The glass has a special coating that makes it grippy, and the framing system underneath provides extra support.

One of the biggest advantages of these glass courts is their versatility. Arena managers can easily change the look of the court with a few taps on a smartphone app, and coaches can even use the visuals for training purposes.

While the glass courts are more expensive than traditional wood courts, they offer a number of benefits that could make them a worthwhile investment for professional and college teams. The NBA has already shown interest in the technology, and it seems likely that we will see more of these innovative courts in the future.
