Michael Jackson and Nipsey Hussle’s funerals were held at Staples Center, but for Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi the venue is considered too small.
Plans are still in flux but the LA Coliseum is the likely venue for the funeral according to TMZ Sports.
Kobe Bryant’s public memorial could be such a massive event, organizers are considering holding it at the famous L.A. Coliseum because the Staples Center simply isn’t big enough.
Our sources tell us … a meeting took place this week to discuss where Kobe’s eventual memorial might go down in the coming weeks or even months. People who were in the room say a few venues were considered — some made more sense than others.
Of course, the Staples Center is considered “The House That Kobe Built” — but it only holds around 20,000 people … and judging by the massive response to his death, organizers feel they should be ready for a MUCH larger crowd.
It might be awhile for the plans are finalized as people are still in shock about the tragedy and investigators are still dealing with the crash.
There have already been so many memorials put up around LA.
