LOS ANGELES — A crew of about 35 event floor employees at Staples Center waited for Thursday’s NHL Western Conference finals game between the Los Angeles Kings and Phoenix Coyotes to end, so that their grueling 2½-hour exercise could begin: The Los Angeles Lakers’ hardwood and hoops needed to be placed over the worn-down ice in preparation for Friday’s NBA Western Conference semifinal game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

With 168 luxury suites and 53 concession stands, the job of getting a 1-million-square-foot arena cleaned, restocked with food and prepared for another throng of 20,000 different fans is complicated. “Let’s just hope the Kings end on time. If it doesn’t, all bets are off,” Zeidman said with a laugh.

Staples Center is otherwise well-prepared, having done 127 double-header conversions since the building opened, including 19 so far this season. But nothing will compare to what’s in store this weekend. 



“This will be the wildest,” Zeidman said.
