It has nothing to do with stadium owners being greedy.
It does when whatever money is made from either revenues from television (if the owner is requiring this) or purchased advertisements (if the broadcaster is) apparently regular advertising breaks aren't enough, they have to resort to pasting ads during the program on the floor.

Floor advertisements are not cheaper than floor advertisements.
I'm not sure what you're saying, I'm saying they have to resort to putting virtual advertisements on the floor.

The NBA is the stadium owner.
I call bullshit. Sports stadiums are usually owned by the team or a real estate investor, or the municipality where the stadium is located. The Los Angeles stadium - Staples Center - where both basketball teams play is owned by AEG, which owns a number of stadiums and is not part of the NBA.
Ted Leonsis, owner of the Washington Wizards, owns the company that owns the Verizon Center, where the team plays.
Name one - just one - stadium used to play basketball where the owner of record is NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION, INC. of New York.

They are not using green screens or blue screens.
I did not say it
was chroma key, I said it was
similar, in that the computer handling video is supposed to know what the floor looks like and only replace the pixels that are the floor so it looks like the ad is on the floor, not across the players, as it happened in the above image.

I'm sure you got some other things wrong but I haven't had my coffee yet.
Well, so far, it looks like, for once, I didn't get any wrong.
