MJ Funeral at Staples?
6:12 PM July 1, 2009
There’s no official confirmation yet, but I’m told all systems are go.
Insiders also say that AEG will put gigantic screens outside the facilities for the thousands who will not get inside. No word yet on how ticketing will be handled.
In order to do this, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, scheduled to begin its run at Staples on July 8, had to be persuaded to postpone moving into Staples by several hours.
Insert your own circus joke here.
Somehow it seems appropriate. It will be a day for the Greatest Show on Earth to follow The Biggest Funeral in History. Jackson would love this, that’s for sure.
Earlier speculation had the funeral being held everywhere from Neverland to Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

The 18,000 seat Staple Center will never contain the crowd. I'm staying well away from the freeways that day.

I just glad I don't have to work downtown.
