I could see wanting to be there for the spectacle. If I were to get tickets it wouldn't be to rend my clothes and sob, but to be there in the moment, though I am a fan.

As mentioned in an earlier post from me, at least some of the decision was probably based on the fact that he was already rehearsing at Staples. I am guessing that the location was already paid for (as well as staging, lights, sound, video), so using it for the memorial was the least-cost venue.

And request to moderators: can you separate out the MJ discussion into a separate thread? The discussion really deserves its own (and all the other dead folk deserve to rest in peace).

Thank you in advance (or F you if you won't

).

I don't think they would be using his stage set up because they have reported that Ringling Brothers is moving the circus animals in tomorrow morning. It would appear they already have the venue booked themselves. Wouldn't that be a fun turnover for the crew, going from a memorial to a circus setup!

There's a difference?

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.

Wow, that's amazing turn around time! Especially when you consider hockey needs ice. I don't think I'd want to be on that crew!
