UCLA will replace flooded Pauley Pavilion floor
The famed hardwood court at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion will be replaced because of damage caused when 20 million gallons of water cascaded onto campus from a broken water main, the school announced Friday.
Athletic director Dan Guerrero said Friday that the entire wood floor of the famed court will be replaced by the end of October and no regular-season basketball games will be affected.
Pauley Pavilion, which was deluged by 10 inches of water, underwent a $136 million upgrade just two years ago. Guerrero said the current floor cost $500,000.
