    Excellent sports arena!!! We went to see Lakers vs. Clippers, it was a very good game and even tough we were at the upper level, we had a great view of the game.

    The in spot to be at when sports and entertainment is happening in the area! Check out a concert or a Lakers game, but buy your tickets early so you're not left outside!

    Great venue. I enjoy most about this place is the public transportation TO it. Too many venues in LA do not have easy public access. This makes any event or game easy to get to and from.

    Be sure to look up at the rafters and appreciate the legends. 16 Lakers championship banners and 10 player jerseys have been retired. What a legacy

    between the live concerts, the Kings, Clippers, and the Lakers never a dull moment ... And now that they added the whole LA Live thing it's actually a safe place to go ;)

    There are certainly worse places to do some celebrity-spotting... Check out the Nike Vault nextdoor, too! (If they're open.)

    At the Staples Center, look for statues of Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Wayne Gretzky (although neither played here), Oscar de la Hoya, Jerry West and broadcaster Chick Hearn outside.

    Tool - 9/7/2006. That was one of the most epic concerts I've ever had the privilege to attend. Wish i had pics or video to supplement the memories I have of that night.

    This arena reminds me of many exhilarating moments, not the least of which was the time I managed to mend a frayed climbing rope in a pinch with some quickly applied staples.

    Looking to go on a date? See a great basketball game? have fun with the family? Great place to see a basketball game. A lot of history, Laker tickets will be very expensive but a great atmosphere!

    Check out the statue of basketball icon Jerry West. He has left his mark as a Laker, an Olympian, a West Virginia University Mountaineer, and as the silhouette of the NBA logo. Pretty impressive.

    The Lakers may reign supreme—but we can't help but notice some other guys seated courtside. Look for David Beckham, Leo DiCaprio and Zac Efron cheering on, and just try to keep your eye on the ball.

    Awesome!! They got bars and restaurants for the pre-game. And I think you can invest a little bucks to be in a better seat.

    Views are better for hockey than basketball, but it’s a fun place to catch a game. Beer is pretty affordable for L.A., as is food.

    Staples Center has hosted NBA Championships, Stanley Cup Finals as well as concerts & boxing. But when Arizona & Ohio St. tip off, it will be the first NCAA Tournament game in this building's history.

    i've only been here for hockey, but since it's not a hockey-specific arena, the upper levels are REAAAALLY far from the ice. Sit in lower level or in the center seats so you can see what's happening
