[paulielciu]

Was wondering about how the Clippers and the Lakers play in the same arena with different floors. This answers my question, tho. Thanks!

[beatbox1919]

[jvasquez213]

LA Lakers and LA Kings!!!! FTW!!!!

[robis199]

@jvasquez213 Why WTF??????

[ChuckTheGreatNorris]

Hey!

Can anyone tell me a regular price for a lakers game for the 300er section or a cheaper section?

I will be there in january with my friends and we would love to see a game.

[LUKAONTL]

how long does it takes???

[UThornzUT]

it was probaly weird for the staples employees during april and may cuz its always busy due to the laker and kings playoffs.......probally alot quiet after the mavs beat the lakers and the sharks beat the kings.....DONT YOU THINK????

[loouisrotasul]

approximately how long it takes?

[Movie89Pro]

Ахуеть пацаны!

[100jokes]

so they remove the ice?? how?? and they put in floor boards of lakers?

[3bulletproof16]

@100jokes They dont remove the ice. If you look closely they put a special plastic over the ice and then they assemble the basketball court over it. The Ice the there year round for the NHL season.

[streetLAkings]

@100jokes they dont remove it its always there during the season they just cover it with a thick layer of rubber if you watch the vid the grey stuf that they are putting on the ice is rubber and then they put the floor over it

[IchigoFury]

When The Lakers play the make more than a Clipper or same pays which denpened on salary for the who at Staple Center

[IchigoFury]

I remeber the Staple Center hosts WWE Wrestlemanina 21 Goes Hollywood

[Agust1337]

Ehm, so they do this everyday when Lakers and Clippers are playing, wow that must be hard work, and a lot of money :O

[vikingsareno1]

Very Cool. It would be a honor to see a live Lakers game in person....GO LAKERS!!!

[vikingsareno1]

Very cool. It would be an honor to see a live Lakers game in person....GO LAKERS!!!

[choonhachat]

Uhmm holy shit?

[jet4212006]

you ever notice when the Lakers play tere the arena is very dark but when the Clippers play there it's very bright.

why is that?

[bostonhater58]

@jet4212006 its because well i really don't know but i think they do it because they want to change things up.

[gemini6179]

@jet4212006 When the Lakers played at the Forum, the lighting was really dark. They went to emulate the lighting of the Forum a couple years back.

[reysiad]

can i watch the kings game 1st then I will hide in the bathroom then watch the lakers game? then hide again in the bathroom then watch clippers game?

[MrBabyD095]

los angeles kings and lakers lets go

[8ballsix27]

I played on this court today. Hell to the yes.

[John19182004]

@subjoy1 just because it's NY doesn't mean it's the greatest. All it is is another sports arena.

[chrisjoholski]

and they have to do this about 160 times a year lakers clippers and the kings

[kisojan18]

Whoa takes a long time to change evrything huh

[ElBarto3131]

Crazy that there's 3 pro teams playing here. Move the Clippers to the Honda Center or something.

[nichikun30]

Wow, that is a lot of work. -_-

[MOMOFCBFAN1996]

How long is the real time?

[YungRomeyy]

@MOMOFCBFAN1996 id say less the 24 hours

[MOMOFCBFAN1996]

@YungRomeyy Ok thx!!

[John19182004]

@YungRomeyy oftentimes the hockey or basketball team plays at noon or so, ending around 3pm, and the other plays around 7pm.. so they can do it in 3hrs or less.

[stumpidapirina]

question! im goint to a concert soon at the staples

theres any policy that i cant take camera with me? cuz in some concerts they take the camera batteries or something like that

[macmacpogi5]

i will ho there for summer slam!!!!!

[TheAbigail666]

from hockey to NBA!

[gregc3267]

is it necessary to have the tv running the whole time?

[John19182004]

@gregc3267 yes.

[filipinofromthe954]

sick time lapse

[50bhhamnt]

why do you think that

[kevinnin2]

this shit is hard

[daredevilsfromhell]

@kevinnin2 No shit I used to work there for two years then I had an injury. After the injury I came back and then they fired me.

[ozmaytmatic]

@daredevilsfromhell not fair isn't it?

[deanuts237]

@daredevilsfromhell could you please explain to me how they put the ice on the ground.

[Ryan120420]

@deanuts237

Just watch this

/watch?v=7hT3yfuLPIU

It explains every thing.

[John19182004]

@deanuts237 there's freezing coils in the ground. spray 1/4" water, let freeze. apply hockey and advertising markings. cover with 1/2" of water, let freeze. done.

[deanuts237]

@John19182004 ahhh thank you :)

[muratt]

@daredevilsfromhell

fuck those motherfuckers

[panthers2805]

any idea the total amount of time this video encompasses? a couple of hours i reckon?

[MagicalDragon2003]

yeah,,, the hockey game itself is about 2 & a half hours, And to change it from hockey to basketball ( the same day ) would take an hour & a half

[MagicalDragon2003]

How FUCKEN stupid can YOU be?.LA holds 5 teams under its roof AND several honorable award shows, political parties, the recent funeral services of Micheal Jackson & other major events - The T&M center... WoW, bullfighting & rodeo finals....SPECIAL. Lets not forget MSG, with their piss poor knicks. The only thing that MSG does that Staples Center doesn't is broadway show.. Which now we do accompany thanks to our newly built Nokia Theater.Thank you very little and Fuck you very much - DUMBASS!

[adi1096]

@MagicalDragon2003

But dude after the Knicks renovation thing its gonna be sick they have a walkway and seats directly ABOVE the court it sounds so awesome. I can't wait until they complete it, even though I don't live in LA or NYC...

[ramonesrocket2russia]

@MagicalDragon2003 That's all true, but we don't yet have a football team :)

[MagicalDragon2003]

You didn't major in architecture... You failed it! The Staples Center is the only arena that honored to call itself "The Sports &Eentertainment Capital of The World" Thats not self proclaimed - thats Fact! l should know - l work for them - So you can keep your crappy AAA and piss poor U.C. arenas.

[deion152002]

Well you said it right, you never majored in architecture in college. So that means your opinions don't mean shit.

[heroofjustice]

wow damn i wish i could work at the Staple Center just to see my Lakers play wouldn't you?

[DeathZONE851]

heck yeah i would!

[wcmaster26]
