How can Crypto.com Arena host three sports teams? Amazing coordination

[@JBM425]

In a year or so, they will only have to worry about two teams instead of three when the Clippers move to their new home. That said, it’s impressive how they can make the change from hockey to basketball (or vice versa) so quickly!

[@LVScooter1]

That's easy. Everything is already in place. I've done conversion work at T-Mobile Arena here in Vegas

[@johnstjohn1987]

I feel so stupid. As a kid I used to think Arenas that held multiple Teams had different Areas for all 3 Home Courts or ice. Like you could walk in one tunnel and see Lakers Court then walk in another Tunnel and see Kings hockey each with its own arena. It was only when I got older I realized the Arena was built around one main Floor for teams so they had to share. 😂

[@parkerbeard6170]

I had that feeling too as a Rangers Fan thinking the same for Knicks. Until my Dad told me it's like a Giant Puzzle they put on top of the Ice! Eventually that's how I got my Change Over Experience when I started at a College Arena and now I work in a Convention Center. Operations Workers don't get enough credit for their Work

[@lionsfan7500]

Don't feel bad. As a kid I thought the same thing lol. Growing up in Detroit in the 80s the Silverdome use to be the home venue for the Detroit Lions and the Detroit Pistons. In 1981 when I went to my first Lions game and my first time at the Silverdome, I asked my cousin if he could take me to the part of the stadium where the Pistons play and I got the weirdest look lol as he was laughing so hard and told me that the court is put on the football field lol. 42 years later I'm still hearing about it lol.

The Operations Workers don't get enough credit for the hours and the Work they do to flip the Arenas for multiple teams. I'm proud to be an Operations Worker myself in a Convention Center! Without those crew workers the events don't happen!

What I want to know is how the hell do all these coordinators for teams and concerts book these places without overlapping?

[@outsideredge]

I'm impressed by arenas where the sightlines work for both sports, as we know of buildings where it doesn't. Barklays Center for the Nets, for instance, doesn't work for hockey.

[@adamgarnes4269]

Honestly working at that arena wouldn’t be a bad job and it would keep u busy for sure. Especially since it stays busy. I worked at footprint arena and chase field at concessions and warehouse for a while. Wasn’t a bad gig and U get too meet all kinds of athletes

The arena was built for the kings

[@sweetmapleleafs]

Damn right it was! Did you also know that the total capacity of all 3 levels of luxury suites exceed the capacity of Mullett Arena itself?!?(Coyotes new 5000 seat arena)

[@immolationliquidations]

[@canadian_tabarnak]

Im 19 now, but my entire life i did not know a multipurpose stadium had the ice underneath the basketball court, i thought they removed the court and placed ice sheets down. I feel so dumb lmao

[@benedictpauloliveros5510]

Why the lakers court and clippers court have different number of wood panels?

[@Michael_Vargas]

Most basketball courts have have different size panels for design. just like your kitchen tiles

[@DeadAir21]

I think the clippers have more panels because they have less courtside seating than the lakers because they have less demand for them. That’s why if notice when the Lakers have home games the scorers table is a lot smaller than when the clippers are the home team.

[@mountaindew2656]

So the basketball court is basically wooden boards on top of ice???

[@donlitt]

It looks like there’s also some type of black carpet that is in between the wood and ice

[@stevenmorrison4692]

There's cushioned padding in between. Most generally they only melt it down after the regular season or if that team is eliminated in the playoffs then it's melted.

[@SmilingNinja]

Wooden floor on top of insulated mats covering the ice

[@erik_griswold]

If the Hockey team is on the road or their season is over, The ice is removed (melted) and remade when they return.

[@SmilingNinja]

@@erik_griswold If the season is over, yes, the ice is melted, but if they're just on the road, they cover the ice in insulated padding and build the court on top. If they were to melt and make new ice every single time the hockey team played on the road, they'd be rebuilding the ice surface from scratch some 40+ times a season.

[@AG-pj9wr]

That’s efficient work right there.

[@Eazy-ERyder]

Correction: how can the STAPLES CENTER host 3 different sports teams. I will NEVER refer to it by any other name, especially the current one.

How does this affect lebrons legacy

[@MichaelM-er8bh]

obviously the red shirts are "supervisors". they just switch their stance while looking at their phones while others are actually doing work.

[@joeyflowers5071]

The red shirts are not supervisors! The red shirts is security. I was a red shirt for many years. During conversion we had to keep workers and staff that have no business down on the arena floor from going down there. During conversion there is still staff and employees in the building getting ready for the next game.

[@pathologicallyfriendly]

Is there a geographical boundary that defines where Lakers fans mostly are found in contrast with Clippers fans?

[@p0tent49]

No wonder they say the ice is so shitty in LA.

[@matteoromenghi]

[@chriskay1449]

Well, they are about to lose one team when the Clippers new arena opens.

[@staintedcards]

clippers are moving to inglewood next year or are they?

[@KempeIzGud]

they'll start playing there in fall 2024, they have one more season in LA

[@Blassie.P]

Im confused is the ice always one or are they panels that come off too.

[@vtacamdaman20]

The ice is always underneath the BBall courts. It stays there the entire hockey season.

[@DeadAir21]

They will only melt the ice one the hockey season is complete. Would take too much time to fill the ice back in especially in a building with 3 teams using it in the same timeframe.

What is the point of a city having two teams in one league if they both play in the same stadium/arena? It makes zero sense to me

[@ayjay23]

it’s cheaper to have them play in one. stadiums are expensive

[@bobbowie9350]

theyre both renters.

[@outsideredge]

@@bobbowie9350 The owner of the Kings, AEG, owns the building. One of the reasons why the Clippers are building their own arena is that in the current setup, the Clippers are the third priority when it comes to scheduling, behind the Kings and Lakers. In double-header scenarios, that means the Clippers usually end up playing the early game instead of in prime time.

23yrs later and still makes no sense that the Lakers and Clippers & Sparks had to have their own distinct floors. It wasnt that way at The Forum, nor at the LA Sports Arena until the last few yrs.

[@YzzSC]

why? Its good usage of a arena. Also add in all other events, WNBA, concerts and so on. To get a arena to have profit so do you need a lot of events and for sports so are double headers quite normal in the US. There are several arenas that are shared between NHL and NBA team (and also sometimes WNBA).
