Of the potential LA sites, Staples Center would be the most attractive. Unfortunately, I doubt that 5 FIRST fields could be placed on the floor of the arena. As I recall from when the great game of hockey was played professionally in LA, it's 60 feet from the blue line to the goal line and a lot less from blue line to blue line in the center of the arena. (Our Canadian friends can set us straight on this).
Maybe FIRST would opt for four fields (two in the center and one on each end), but I don't think 5 fields will work in Staples.
