The Carrier Classic, a basketball game played aboard the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson docked in San Diego, appears ready to go despite earlier concerns about rain.
The video below offers a time-lapse view of the extensive preparations needed to turn the aircraft carrier into a basketball arena. Fox 5 San Diego reported that because of weather concerns, officials said an alternative court inside a hangar was also built, but it probably won't be needed.
"This venue is absolutely stunning and spectacular,'' Bob Mazza of Morale Entertainment, which organized the event, told the station.
Michigan State and North Carolina will square off at 4 p.m. and President Obama will be in the stands. And Magic Johnson and James Worthy will serve as honorary captains.
