"Inside the newly remodeled 4,000-square-foot lounge at Staples Center I found plush velvet and leather couches looking down on the action alongside C-suite level stadium seats; chandeliers and a dark marble bar corral the scene around several televisions split across two adjoining spaces. The build includes VIP seating for 100 and suites that hold 40 people, and it's designed to be modular so it can open together for parties of 200 or more. Levy Restaurants handles the food while SBE and building owner AEG control the space. The redone Hyde lounge is open for NBA preseason and will be available for NBA, NHL, WNBA games and concerts; premier events require a Hyde Society membership, though normally anyone can gain access by contacting SBE or Staples Center directly." - Farley Elliott
