The Staples Center is a stadium project unlike any other. The stadium center was designed to accommodate not only two basketball teams, but also to accommodate hockey, and other entertainment.
The innovative design of the arena includes a permanent ice hockey rink, with the ability to quickly lay in the flooring for the basketball court right over the ice. The size of the arena (which can seat over 20,000 fans) also makes it ideal for concerts and other large scale events.
