I'm pretty sure the circus will be taking place in a tent in the parking lot, not inside Staples Center. They might be using the building to house some of the animals, but I doubt it would preclude any stage production from going on on the actual venue floor.

Damn. The LAPD closed the entire 101 freeway all the way to Forest lawn for the procession.

Man, I'd be ticked if I was trying to get to work....

Eh... crews are used to this kind of load-out. The sets are designed for quick strikes.

They've actually had hockey and basketball in Staples on the same day.

A funeral procession on the 101? That freeway hasn't seen those kinds of speeds during a weekday in at least a decade.

Naw, they were only doing about 40mph.

Err, oh, ummm, yeah, what he said.

It won't be clear until after the event (when the numbers will dramatically inflate across the board) but CNN estimates costs at up to $4,000,000.
