so, where's the X? anywhere famous?

[thebruce]

hm. to clarify, the X is over a tennis court (based on the lines on the ground and two brown 'courts'). The scenes in the promo video are actual basketball courts, again based on the ground lines, so this isn't where they filmed those scenes in the video.

But that is definitely where the X is sitting.

[Starblind]

That's perfect, thebruce! I think we can consider the map solved. There's no way that's not it.

[BlessedBlogger]

Now we just need a time, right?

[SilentObjector]

No thebruce, those are basketball courts. They don't have tennis courts near the great lawn.

Regardless yes, that's where the X rests.

[dposse]

[SilentObjector]

Yep. By the way, that's the same basketball court in the promo.

[thebruce]

Are you sure? Because the courts in the video have the curved point lines, and green courts. These are brown courts with straight tennis court lines.

[SilentObjector]

Yeah sure, posse. And bruce, I'd bet my flaregun it's the same one.

I'm probably late posting this again, but:

Lists that as the 85th st Basketball courts

[thebruce]

I digress.
They do appear to be basketball courts, but the lines don't match typical basketball court lines (to my knowledge ), and actually seem more similar to tennis lines.

But, I still don't believe that's where they filmed the basketball scenes based on the colours of the courts...



perhaps they repainted the court =P

[thebruce]

hah, you're right, they were recently converted to volleyball courts
