Staples Center's Busy Weekend

Staples Center in LA is having a crazy weekend.  The Kings, the Lakers, and the Clippers are all hosting home playoff games, and the large Tour of California bicycle race ends there Sunday morning.  

On Saturday both the Lakers and the Clippers are hosting home playoff games.  The Clippers game is on 12:30 p.m. PT, and the Lakers game is on 7:30 p.m. PT.   It takes 75 minutes to switch between two basketball courts and the Staples Center staff has done this before, so the doubleheader on Saturday will be OK.

On Sunday, the Tour of California race ends at Staples Center in the morning, the Kings-Coyotes game starts at 12 p.m. PT, and Clippers-Spurs starts at 7:30 p.m. PT.  It takes 2 hours, 15 minutes minutes to switch from hockey floor to basketball, so the Kings game can't really go into overtime.  They also have to manage the fans.  

No wonder the Staples Center staff hasn't been able to sleep much.
