The 2026 Men’s and Women's Final Four courts were made from sustainably-harvested first-grade northern hard maple. The courts were manufactured and inspected at the Connor Sports mill in Crystal Falls, Michigan.
The floor panels were stacked, banded, and shipped to our Connor Sports valued finishing partners for assembly, sanding, sealing, painting, and finishing before being loaded and safely shipped to each venue for installation.
Each court can take up to four hours to install led by a team of Connor Sports Technical Supervisors paired with local laborers from their respective cities.
