Who is Jerry West? Do we care who is Jerry West? You do? Well, I don't… :o) Why I have to write a review about him under Staples Center Stadium category? Well, there is only one reason a big 40. A big 40 has caught my attention. Is it his 40th...

Cons: Could be too large for some, can be expensive

I had the privelege of attending the Streisand Concert - simply known as "The Tour" last night (Nov 21, 2006) at the Staples Center located in Los Angeles. What a treat it was! The Staples Center is the largest arena in LA and routinely hosts the ...

Pros: location in downtown LA hopefully brings more people to neglected nearby nightspots
Cons: just about everything else, uninspired concessions, poor layout

Ah yes, another arena named after a corporate conglomerate. Very nice. The Staples Center is in th ...

Pros: Shaq, Kobe, lighting, sound, and brand spankin new`
Cons: expensive and parking

Seeing the L.A. Lakers on a brand new floor in a brand new 400 million dollar arena was unbelievable. The lighting and sound was the best I had ever seen and heard. The game was a different story, Lakers didn't look so good that night.

The...

Pros: So L.A.
Cons: Bring Your Money or Bring Your Binocs

I've been itching to take in an event at L.A.'s new Staples Center since it first opened last century. Two nights ago, my Aquarius was in Libra, with Red Wings rising, and I knew the time was right. If you happened to read my Pacific Dining Car review,...

Pros: Amazing acoustics, Great sight lines, Huge team store, Great food, Great fans
Cons: Steep ticket prices, Limited on-site parking, Traffic

At a total cost of over $350 million, STAPLES Center is the most expensive arena ever built. It was all privately funded (Jacksonville, et al - take note) and is the only arena to house 3 NBA and NHL teams. Replacing the legendary Great Western Forum...

Pros: Seating, sound, location
Cons: Expensive food! :(

Well, not really, that would be a really famous building. Think about it, no nails, no cement, just staples. Millions and millions of staples. <Mike goes into deep thought about a building made totally of staples, only to rise a couple hours later and...

Pros: Ice Gods
Cons: Penalty Box

Staples Center is the $400 million home of the NBA Lakers and Clippers. $400 million! That’s a lot of dough. Ths Staples Center is the new king of the hill in state of the art athletic facilities. To build a castle of that magnitude you have to have...

Pros: big screens, big arena, good viewing, great atmosphere
Cons: season tickets just went up for Lakers games

The first and only time I have been to the Staples Center was to go see the Lakers-Rockets basketball game. It was with one of my student organizations on campus at USC (University of Southern California), and they had discounted tickets ($15 for upper...

Pros: Nice comfy seats, the Lakers play there.
Cons: Bad food, bad selection of merchandise.

The Staples Center is pretty sweet. I went there for a Clippers game, and really, I wish we had some more teams playing there besides the Lakers.

The seats were nice and comfy, and they are divided with aisles pretty well to minimize the...

Pros: An amazing and modern facility to watch a game
Cons: The lighting in the building is too bright

I was lucky enough to attend a game when the Lakers were playing the hated Utah Jazz. It was an amazing experience compared to the prior days at the Forum. The arena was packed and you could barely here yourself think. There were Laker fans, Jazz fans,...

Pros: State of art new facility/soundsystem
Cons: be on your toes if you stray far from arena

As the Thinkubator, I like to think that what I think about is special and different. After visiting this arena, everyone will say the Stapples Center is a Great Place to go if I have a date, a family of kids to entertain, a concert to see, or...

Pros: Good views if you can get them.
Cons: Too expensive.

I have not attended many sporting events in my life, but the brand new Staples Center called to me. A blue and red neon dream, the Staples Center is a sight to behold, if you can afford to pay for it. My love for the NBA is fairly young - I've only...

Pros: Clean, great sound and lighting, small, never too crowded, easy to get to and park.
Cons: None!

My boyfriend first took me to the Staples Center a year and a half ago to see the Kings play (that's hockey for those of you who aren't sports fans).

Staples is very easy to get to. We were coming from the 105, so we got onto the 110....

Pros: New, relects a Hollywood style, much more impressive than other new arenas
Cons: Not the same intimate feel of the Forum

The most difficult thing for a die-hard Laker fan to do was to accept that the Fabulous..err..Great Western Forum, just wasn't too fabulous, or great any more. Sure, the look of the place from the outside was great, the seats were pretty close, the...
