Lee Zeidman - The Boss Legends Of Sport
-
- Basketball
Lee Zeidman is President of Staples Center, LA Live, and Microsoft Theater but he hasn't always been the boss. This week, we travel back to Lee's working class beginnings where he did everything from cleaning bowling shoes and bathrooms to booking bands and hustling in pool halls before learning how to operate venues big and small. Lee's tireless work ethic led him from head of operations at the Great Western Forum to become Staples Center's first employee and one of the chief architects behind the million square foot complex where over 250 events a year preside. Lee's stories about the inner workings of how a major sports and entertainment complex operates gives us a better sense of how difficult the job really is. Some of the most memorable sports moments in history have happened during his tenure and he tells us those stories right here on this edition of Legends of Sport.
