Best scene in sports

It’s tough to beat the ambience of the floor before a game at Staples Center where it’s Hollywood Central – celebrities walking by everywhere. It feels surreal to be surrounded by all that power.

The Staples Center is Awesome

I always get excited to go see a basketball game or the concerts. I loved performing there.

I saw U2 here - that was pretty awesome. CAA has a box there, so we just go there and party pretty hard.

I'm a hard core New Yorker, so when I moved out to LA I just wanted to hate this place with a passion. But it's the most intoxicating place I've ever watched a basketball game. You go here and you basically watch people watch the game. Basketball is all about showtime and what have you, and Staples is a superb spot to watch the Lakers playing a big time NBA playoff game.

My favorite basketball arena

I really love it. Playing here the first year it was open in 1999 and winning a championship with the Laker team that season – my last NBA championship – is something I’ll always remember. It’s also a great place for events. I’ve been in the suites, and I’ve watched from courtside. I’ve seen events from different aspects, and they’re all great.

as a HUGE lakers fan, i look forward to attending games and events at the Staples Center like you wouldn't believe! it has an extremely cool location next to the brand new LA Live center, which could provide you with entertainment for hours before and after your event at the Staples Center.

Lakers and concerts. This place is pretty pricey on the bev. selection but where else you gonna get to see Kobe bitchin about a call he didn't get, or catch a band like tool completely brainwashing the crowd with it's psychedelic visuals.

The Lakers know the business. They enter any court and do what they do best. Good teams show you how to play the game and aren't destroyed by defeat. Come out, come see...what LA is doing any season.

Too many good times had here to even remember. Top quality arena. The Lakers. The concerts. Food and alcohol at every turn. Avoid the upper deck at all costs. You might as well be watching from home if you're stuck way the hell up there. Parking is gonna cost you here. The closer to the arena you get, the more it's gonna be. Pay the premium, you'll be glad you did. Beat that traffic!

The Lakers play there, enough said, lol.....but it's a great venue, a lot of cool concerts and shows are done there as well. Oh and I heard the Clippers play there too :)

LAKERS

LAKERS. LAKERS. LAKERS. (Okay, and Clippers, too. And KINGS! And Avengers and Sparks.) Great venue for concerts and sports alike, but really this is the Lakers' house. What can beat watching Kobe and the gang play top notch basketball with Jack Nicholson? Pretty good selection of concessions and enough bars to keep everyone happy - if you're on a level that serves the parmesan fries, get them (but make sure your date eats them, too, because they use a ton of garlic). Eat dinner at The Palm or grab a cocktail at the Figueroa Hotel before the game or concert.
