Crypto.com Arena

We watched the Kings vs the Canadiens at the Hyde Lounge and it was a great experience. Everyone from the helpful wait staff to courteous security to personable check in people were so hospitable and professional. I enjoyed the sushi and their nachos. Everything was good though. Downside? The dessert plate was very ordinary. Cookies and brownies seemed like they were purchased at the grocery store, but then I come from a family of bakers so do take that into consideration. Overall, it's a much more comfortable way to watch your game. I'd go back there...

My first game here was Boston Celtics at LA Lakers on 1/23/2025, won by the Lakers. It was a fantastic experience! We arrived early, and enjoyed looking at the statues of Kobe et al. outside. Entry was well-controlled. Once inside, we walked a lap taking in the sights of the arena. It’s just an iconic place to visit. There were two Kobe-signed basketballs on display. The tickets were quite expensive which we understood given the two teams playing, and we took (relatively) cheaper seats. When we sat, we were very happy with the view, close to the arena band (see my photographs). It was great to be so close to the x17 Championship flags, and all the retired shirts. It’s a place everyone should visit when they can - we’re glad we did!

What a fantastic talented team the Lakers’ got! The arena was great. The energy was electrifying. Highly recommend if you’re in town. Will miss AD in purple and yellow.

Haven’t been here in forever! Last time I was here was when it was still Staples Center. We came for a Tyler the Creator concert and found parking easily although expensive ($47), but it was just a few steps from the area and the check in line to get into the arena went really fast! We were in line for 15 minutes tops!

We went and saw Toby Mac in 2024. It was a nice venue. Great concert. I must admit, sitting up in the nosebleed section on the top row was not much fun. It's so far away from the action. But it was still enjoyable, because the big screens brought the concert closer to us. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The arena was very clean. The bathrooms were very clean and the concessions were unusual because they employed no cashiers. They had something like 200 cameras watching everything you were doing and you have no idea what you're paying for until you get the bill on your credit card statement. It was kind of exciting but very costly.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolutely incredible experience! The energy in the Crypto.com Arena is unmatched—Lakers fans are truly something special. The atmosphere was electric from start to finish, and watching the team play live was unforgettable. The arena itself is well-organized, with great seating views from almost anywhere. Concessions were pricey, but that’s expected. Overall, a must-visit for any basketball fan—can’t wait to come back for another game! 🏀🔥

As far as bigger venues to see a concert 15,000 to 20,000 people to see a show, think this has been my favorite place in Southern California. We did have very good seats though. Sound was amazing. Crowd was great. Artist was great.. Amazing show.

I always have a great time at the Crypto.com arena. LA Kings hockey and a shoot-out win is a recipe for fun. I don't think there is a bad seat in the house, and we had one of the best in the Coca-Cola suite. It was a great game with good friends 👍👍

It's a bit confusing if you need help, and I've encountered that every single time I've been here a few times for games and other events. The seats are spacious, but a bit shaky getting up to let others pass or holding on to the back for others to pass. Easy access to get in and find your seats There's also parking close by and conveniently located near places to eat.

So I will start this off by saying I have been coming here for years since I was little so I just can't call this arena by its new name and to me this will always be Staples Center. Parking in LA is always crazy and coming here is no different. One thing that sets this arena apart from others is that there is not just one dedicated parking lot but there is tons. Some are owned by the arena and are a little pricier but if you are willing to walk just a a few blocks you can find cheaper parking. The good thing is a lot of people get parking from all over the place so there will always be tons of people walking around you so no need to be scared if that is a concern for you. Also because there are so many parking lots getting on to the freeway after an event is not as crazy as some place. Yes there will be traffic but you won't have to wait as long as other places where there is just one option to park. There are plenty of options to eat inside from burgers to tacos it seems they have just about everything. For me tho the prices are just a bit too high and for the same price I can get a better meal from the surrounding restaurants and bars. LA Live has come a long way and has a great selection of places to eat before the game and being in LA there are tons of other places close by to eat. As far as drinks are concerned be prepared to pay high prices. Again there are plenty of bars or places to grab a drink so I suggest you do that. If you are ubering even better just pre game at home. As always there is security at the entrances. One new thing I noticed is that now you don't need to take everything out of your pockets. You walk through these metal detector things and a security guy standing close by has a screen that I assume alerts him of anything suspicious. If you have been to Sofi stadium they use the same technology. I think it's cool and moves the line along faster than when they used to make you take everything out and wand you down. One issue I have ran into is since it is called crypto.com arena my card did decline the transaction. I had to call and explain that it was a sports arena and they eventually let the charge go through but this was a hassle. I had cash but since this is a cashless venue I had no choice but to call. Now as far as seats it's honestly rare where I have sat in the lower sections I'm usually up top but here it's not a bad thing. I have been to basketball, hockey and concerts here and honestly sitting in the upper section it has never been an issue. Seats are a little on the smaller side so if every seat is taken up it can feel a little crammed but even then I have not had an issue with it. For me the best seats I have had is in the upper section but in the first couple of rows. Gives you great views of everything going on and doesn't feel like you are super far or super high up. From sporting events to concerts this has always been a favorite venue for me and maybe one day they will change it back to Staples center, just my wishful thinking.

It's amazing how a chilly Monday night can still bring out the crowds to see a concert. We saw Squeeze and Heart play and it was a packed house plus the music sounded great. There are pricey bars and food areas throughout the arena.

Great venue . Parking expensive but worthy. So many snack and drink bars but as you know prices are double .

I purchased some tickets to the LA Kings vs. Pittsburg Penguins as a Christmas gift for my husband. Unfortunately he was sick, but I ended up going with my sister-in-law who likes hockey as well. The Premier Seating was nice, with a great view and with in-seat food and drink service, and access to the Lexus Club. My sister-in-law commented on the comfort of the seats. I ordered the chicken tenders & waffle cut fries for $16, and two glasses of rose for for $15 each. The serving of chicken and waffles were pleasantly more than I expected - you could definitely share if you wanted. Before the game there was a touching tribute to LAFD for their efforts during the local Palisades, Eaton, and other fires in the LA area. Despite the fact that the Kings lost 5 to 1, it was a great time.

Love this arena. So big, clean and cool. Go lakers! Every time I have gone to a game we get free goodies like luggage tags with Lakers logo, lakers pins etc. very cool place to visit. We have also been here for a LA Kings hockey game. The suites have good views.

We got the B Suite experience watching LA Kings hockey game. It was amazing! The hot dogs were surprisingly good. The view from B suites was amazing! Entrance was organized and Restrooms were clean.

There's Better Balance plant-based options around the entire Crypto Arena. From hot dogs, to shredded meat nachos with cheese to buffalo wraps, Better Balance with has you covered. YES, they are danky! For concerts you might only find hotdogs but for any sporting event you will find it all. Make sure you show up early, grab a couple of eats and get to your seats to enjoy the event! Happy Munchies, @aVeganAndHer This is where to find Better Balance products at Crypto: Better Balance Hot Dog * 106 Eats * 318 Eats * 301 Market * Spotlight * Skyline * Premier Level In Seat * Press Room - Offered for every event * Delta Club - Offered for every event Shredded Meat Product * Tostitos Carts Buffalo Shredded Wrap at Grab & Go's * 105 Michelob Ultra * 301 South Park Market * 334 Coke Wall Yaamava' Club * Shredded Nacho with BetterBalance Cheese Sauce Centurion Lounge * Shredded Nacho with BetterBalance Cheese Sauce Lexus Club * Shredded Nacho with BetterBalance Cheese Sauce

I loved seeing the Kobe/Gianna statue. Crypto puts up very annoying metal fences to direct people to walk certain ways. These fences make people walk further to get in or out. Very annoying. The food options inside are great. The hockey set up is good, though the ice looks like it's in bad condition. Had a good time with my friend who has Kings season tickets.

This arena used to be the Staples Center so it has alot of history especially Lakers games. I enjoy attending events here for concerts, games, etc. Very easy parking and the arena is surrounded by various restaurants off site to have dinner or lunch before going inside the Crypto Arena. Note: Seats are small and barely any leg room.

I've been to Crypto Arena, formerly Staples Center, serveral times for LA KINGS games. My first game of the '24-'25 season. Upon entering from the northern star plaza entrance, it wasn't too bad because we had slow service at Craft BBQ and got here around 7:25 pm. Prep yourself to empty everything metallic, I dumped everything into my beanie just before I got to the door & metal detector. The detector tripped again as I forgot that I had my earbuds in chest pocket and steel toes boots on. The attendant noticed my work boots and asked me to lift the pant legs to check for any hidden items on your ankles. All clean... Entry granted. These tickets were lower bowl 100 level behind the northside goal (Kings shoot 2x's, 1st+3rd period). I also saw the new scoreboard. It's a square shape with rounded corners with integrated graphics, really nice compared to the old multiple screened one that was replaced. I'm not sure if they replaced any of their speakers but I could definitely feel the base rumbling and vibrating the seating structure. It was a great game, lots of scoring up til the third period. We stayed until the announcement of the 3 stars plus the bench interview between Daryl Evans and 1st star #22 Kevin Fiala. Here's a tip that I didn't know about. Staying this long post game, it wasn't as crowded leaving the arena. Much better than exiting with most of the crowd getting out of there. We didn't buy any Crypto food or beverages but assume that the prices are $$$$, LOL. Last year, if I remember, a bottle of water was around $7.

Crypto arena, aka Staples center. One of the best arenas for sports in America. This place has so many new features and amenities such as restaurants, bars, outdoor seating views and best of all home to the world champion Lakers. I recently had the honor to go center court to win a new Toyota Tacoma courtesy of the Toyota Halftime Skills challenge. Once on a lifetime opportunity. If you haven't been here lately, this is your sign.

Came to the Crypto Arena to watch the Kings vs. Kraken game. We found a nearby parking garage for about $40.00 flat. This is a cashless venue. There is a machine in one of their shops where you can convert your cash onto a card. Food and drinks can get pricey. Think about $9+ for bottled drinks. I got a $10 Wetzel's Prezel and a side sauce for $2.50. We also got food from Fuku which was a chicken and fries establishment, which I personally wasn't a fan of for about $20.00. Overall, it was great to check out a Kings game. It does get chilly so wear layers.

Crypto you will always be the staples center to me but that's okay lol. I've been coming to this arena since I was a young one and it's definitely a great spot to catch your local sporting matches and concerts. It's a beautiful building and there are lots of pluses to this arena. Last night I came for a hockey game to see the penguins play the kings and it was a wonderful time. Reminded me that I've been long overdue to leave a review. I've been here for a handful of kings games (go pens), seen the lakers play here with Kobe, and I've attended a few concerts - my favorite being Guns N Roses. It's a solid arena and over the years I feel like it's actually gotten better. Next to crypto is plenty of different parking garages. They all seem to range but for simplicity I opt for the $30 lot C garage. When I've been bougie I've been dropped off in the VIP area with a party bus. If you are on a budget for $10 there is parking but it's about a 10-15 minute walk. My lazy little happy self will gladly pay the $30 for a 5 minute walk and less worry of getting hit by a car walking from point A to point B. At crypto the staff are genuinely so nice. It's a nice range of old timers and young staff making a living. I'm always impressed by the professionalism and kindness of staff here. They are thorough with security without being over the top. Anytime we had questions someone was willing to help and nice about it. Like any venue the food and drinks are insanely expensive but it is what it is. I just accept it. I'd say my preference here for the most part is getting the suites when you can. It's less crowded naturally and there is more security. They have private elevators and the lines are shorter for simple foods and drinks. The suites are always clean and spacious. If you want a good view it's a nice seat to grab and definitely gives you that VIP experience. Otherwise, to save money, I do like getting closer on the ground level because at this point you end up spending so much on gas, parking, food and drinks - why cheat yourself by sitting in the nosebleeds when it's all adding up anyways. Just my advice, for adults. If you have kids or are on a budget then getting a bit higher up is understandable. I just find I don't come to events a lot like these anymore so the more special I can make the experience the better, since it is a treat. All in all I prefer the indoor crypto arena over some other LA staple venues. This spot is easy to navigate, clean, organized and they hire really stellar staff. Also being a big name venue they get a lot of great artists and of course with me loving hockey, it's a great way to get some games in. 5/5 for overall experience and entertainment.

Went to a LA King's game. First time for a game, but have frequented venue for live concerts. In general it's quick going in, but can take time getting out at end of game or concert. I wish the venue had better options for food, it's pretty much generic arena food, with the exception of the Dorito's bar which concept I find gross.

Great Venue! The game are always entertaining and they really put on an show here including the audience as a whole. I love the energy! The lights, the sound system, the staff members... everything is Top Notch! I will be returning!! Enjoy!!! #jsho

I went to the Kings hockey game with my church. They have $40 parking which I didn't utilize but there is $25 parking at the convention center which is much better. This is my first hockey game and a light jack and will do just fine. It was super fun And they gave out free hats. The Kobe statue and the one with Gigi is so heartfelt. I love when I get to come to this arena whether it's sports or just to hang out at the eateries.

Was lucky enough to be an invited to the suites for a laker game. The suite attended was nice and made sure we had utensils and food constantly refilled. My favorite was the desert cart. It was a pleasant surprise with all the treats they had. The location was nice has 8 seats and 4 bar stools. The restroom wasn't too far off. Great location security was a breeze

We volunteer with Journey of Love and Hope to collect food for the people in need. We enjoyed making a difference for others is such a blessing. After that we enjoyed a good game of LA Kings Hockey at the Hyde Lounge with the other volunteers, was such a great turnout. The LA Kings Hockey Won the game and we collected lots of food for the people in need. What's such a great turnout. Thank you LA Kings and Crypto Arena

Want to visit one of LA's iconic arena? Want to sit in comfy seats? Want good service at the bars? Want quick and yummy food? Want to impress someone? Want to provide others a one of a kind "experience"? You must visit Crypto Arena!

Loved this experience! We were in Suite A43. We ordered the chophouse package - potatoes and steak were good. Chicken tenders and hot dogs were also delicious! Had to go outside to get the wetzels pretzels they don't deliver those! Very clean and nice experience.

Happen to attend the game on Star Wars Night, which was a plus to the experience. The arena was clean and big to accommodate many fans of not only Kings but also Minnesota. Parking was decent and the staff were nice. Despite of the large crowd, I think from the security to the food stands, everybody did a wonderful job serving the customers. The entertainment for the Star Wars Night and additional games/activities to engage with the people were also great. The cool lights on the ice stood out the most and grabbed everybody's attention. We ordered chicken fingers with waffle fries for dinner and it was tasty and fresh that I would get the same menu next time.

Alright so, October 3, 2023 We went to go see a Kings Vs. Ducks game I'm a Ducks fan even though i live in LA so we were the away team. Now even though we might have lost the arena is fairly nice! The outside is nice the inside is nice Hockey rink (I've only been for hockey) is nice Their food & drinks is pretty good. Overall the arena is cool. And nice.

Great customer service tonight at the LA Kings game. The game was fun and the atmosphere was amazing with the DJ, music and MC's throughout the night. Made the game that much more interactive. The arena was clean including the restrooms. Added bonus was the Centurion lounge for Amex card holders. Keep it up Crypto Arena!

I'm still not used to calling this arena the Crypto Arena. In my eyes, it will always be the iconic Staples Center. I absolutely love watching shows and concerts here and they all have been extremely memorable. I have been going to so many shows here for the past 20 years and oh my god, everybody from Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and so many of my other favorite artists, have all performed here. It's pretty darn easy to find parking nearby and walk. I also love the fact that there's Light Rail and other transportation nearby. It's so easy to get in and out of the arena and I love all the vibes that I feel inside. There are a lot of good food options and the Wi-Fi is pretty good as well. I would totally choose Crypto Arena over the Kia Forum any day. So much easier to get to and so much easier to get in and out. I don't feel like I'm wasting my time sitting in traffic or the parking lot lol. So if you get a chance to watch a show at the Crypto Arena, go for it because it's always a fun time.

It's called the Staples Center and it will always be the Staples Center. There's always an event happening, great food and hanging out options in the surrounding area, plenty of parking and the traffic's not too terrible except for the biggest events. The arena is well laid out and good sight lines for all the various events; Nose bleeder seats are great for hockey and concerts, but kinda suck for Lakers games when you'd want to be a tad closer (if your budget can handle it). Overall, I've never had a bad experience (aside from my teams losing) while attending the STAPLES CENTER.

One of my favorite spot to see concerts. I love the vibe and feel of this venue as most seats you are able to get will be great views. Seeing the Missy Elliott concert at this spot was fun and exciting. The staff is great and very helpful with any of your questions. Parking can be in a variety of public lots ranging from 10-40 dollars or you can take Metro which drops you right across the street from the arena.

Back here die my third Sparks game Third game in four days Tonight I'm sitting court side and loving it

My favorite hockey team was in town, playing against the host LA Kings at the Crypto Area (formerly Staples Center). It was an early Saturday game, so was able to take the train from Long Beach, and still come back home before it got dark. It was about an hour train ride, and took the opportunity to get small lunches at two places nearby that we hadn't tried before. One can enter the arena about 90 minutes before game time. Had gotten tickets through the secondary market (stubhub: $113.60 for two tickets). Noticed that they changed their app so that the quoted prices INCLUDES all the add-on fees and taxes)...that was a nice surprise. I even checked to see what prices were for other comparable right before the game (expecting a lot lower since there were quite a few empty seats...but surprisingly had similar prices). We had nosebleed seats, but they have large capacity escalators taking you to the third mezzanine quickly. We got seated about 45 minutes before start, and the vast majority of seats continued to be empty even after game start. There are plenty of Pokemon Go gyms and stops nearby, so my wife and I kept busy while waiting for start-time. I intentionally got seats that were the front row at the end, so didn't have anybody sitting in front. Unfortunately, I didn't account for the constant movement of people wanting to leave/re-enter their seats. I soon realized, there was enough space not to have to get up every time someone wanted to get by, instead just sliding my legs to the side. The seats themselves were solid, great cushioning and plenty of leg room with solid sight lines as long as people weren't in the aisles (which was infrequent). Next time, I'll get seats in the same section (315) but just closer to the middle (so sightlines wouldn't clash with the aisles). And oh yeah...the Hawks came back from a 2-0 deficit to beat the Kings in a ShootOut...made my afternoon. One regret: Crypto Arena has a dedicated Centurion Lounge for AMEX Platinum card holders. We later learned it's first come first serve (once they fill up, it's closed to more members), and can be a great place to catch the game (regardless of what type of ticket you have), with complementary alcohol and food. By the time we stopped in, they were at capacity. Next time.

Had an awesome time at the Lakers game! The seats were amazing, and there were plenty of great restaurants to choose from. The drinks were excellent, though a bit on the pricey side. There's also a lot of cool merchandise and vendors selling items outside the arena. Parking is plentiful with nearby lots, but make sure to bring cash. It's a short walk to the arena, but traffic can be a hassle--taking an Uber or Lyft is a convenient option for getting to and from downtown. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!

Family watched the Lakers v. OKC game on 11/29/2024. The stadium has a lot of cool statues of Lakers/Kings players/announcers around the perimeter. I recommend going WAY before game time to get photos. We actually went in the morning and had no wait times to get pictures with them, the lines were pretty long as the game was near. Arena itself is pretty nice, the Lakers lost, and LeBron had 5 turnovers so that was great! Biggest complaint is the multi step process to access your tickets through the Lakers app. Lots of restrooms around and nice ushers.

Love coming to watch the LA kings play here. I have sat at different sections but this Saturday I sat in section 107. I like how spacious those seats are but having no cup holders kind of sucks. My drink didn't fit in the cup holder the tray comes with my food so it kind of sucks having to cheer on your team with your drink in one hand and the tray of food in the other. Like do better. Tickets are already so expensive. The screen is nicer now but it was hard to see the power play time. I like that they are using reusable cups for your alcoholic beverages but they seem smaller and the prices are steep now. I wish they had deals on that. Other than that.. it's all good.

Great game! Staples is looking nice.. err Crypto I mean. New scoreboard with 360 views, and lots of new food I will have to explore, and with JJ it looks like we have a competent coach finally.

Dirt dog at crypto arena is trash. Don't waste your money or time. The hot dog was hidden inside the bun. Where's the beef?!!!

Amazing venue! We had a fantastic time watching the LA Kings, loved the energy of the place, and everything was well-organized. The concession food and drinks were overpriced, but that's to be expected in LA. I'll definitely be back for another game or even a concert. Next time, I plan to take full advantage of the Amex lounge and Amex cardholders benefits!

This one's for Kobe! Unveiled on 2-8-24 to commemorate arguably the most popular player in Lakers history. And since we had dined right across the street at Fixins Soul Food, we couldn't pass up this opportunity on our visit one week after the dedication. Kobe's 19 foot statue, and his first of 3 that will eventually be dedicated, joins his fellow Lakers greats. Magic, Kareem, Shaq, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, and even Chick Hearn seated at his broadcasting booth. Wearing his number 8, future "Black Mamba" statues will include Kobe wearing his number 24 and the other with him and daughter Gianna, wearing her number 2. Kobe's statue is also the largest, and very well captures his likeness, sculpted by the very talented female artist Julie Rotblatt Amrany. A pose he personally selected before his passing. It captures his walking off the court after scoring 81 points, the second most in NBA history, back in 2006. He's pointing to the fans in a posture of "this one was for you!" Not the greatest time of day for photo ops so please excuse those included. And just a heads up: other LA sports legends statues commemorating their achievements also found nearby are NHL greats Wayne Gretzky and Luc Robitaille, as well as boxing great Oscar De La Hoya.

I recently visited for an LA Sparks game. It was a lot of fun. Ages ago, when it was still the Staples Center, I saw Michael Buble here.

Long overdue review of this place Been going since the start when it was the staples center and honestly I still call it that lol This weekend I went to see profesional bull riding and I had really good seats it's rare for me to sit in the 100s at all here whether it's a game or a concert but I gotta say I didn't expect the seats to suck! Like they were tight like how you may find in the upper levels I mean the 200s are comfier even with not vip they are more roomier and maybe the uppers too lol But anyways what can I say it's a nice arena always has been and parking there's tons of it honestly and with LA live there there's options to eat before coming in if you want but if not the prices now of the food court is what you expect but the Amazon store watch out that is a ripoff!! No prices listed and when you see the damage it's next day But ive never had issues here and the employees always seem to be nice

Not a fan of Crypto Arena just because this area is constantly flooded with people and TRAFFIC, but I recently saw Missy Elliott and friends perform here and figure out the hack. I've sat in the nosebleeds and for this concert I sat in the floor section and floor seats are the way to go. The sound here to me is not the best and even the seating is not ideal for me, but on the floor it's all amazing. I parked at Circa LA across the street for $40 and it was super easy to get in and out of there and a short walk across the street to Crypto. The parking alone is so expensive (but not as expensive as Inglewood) which is also another reason why I'm not a fan. The good thing about Crypto is there are a lot of places to eat and drink around here which is convenient.

This may be the last time I'm here for a basketball game so it's time to write a review! The Clippers are moving onto their new stadium, so time to check out the new diggs! By the arena there is plenty of parking. The parking outside the stadium is 40 dollars. The parking lot is very convenient, of course there is cheaper parking in the area! The arena offers a lot of places for drink and food! Standard hot dogs to fancy fried chicken sandwiches! There is something for everyone! As for food and drinks, the prices here are very similar to any other arena! Price is high! The price of entertainment! Also a lot of restaurants outside the arena to catch a drink or some food! The ticket fees are high for this stadium! Black Friday is always a great time to get tickets to avoid high ticket fees! Lots of semi affordable tickets with great views! Plenty of bathrooms! Nice to not wait! Cheer squad is nice: they are everywhere! If you are not a clippers fan, you can always catch a lakers game!

I usually come here for a few games per year and enjoy each game on its own. You get a good view no matter where you sit. I'm not sure I would enjoy it as much if it was a concert, tho. The seating is a bit cramped regardless of whether you sit up high or down by the floor. But it definitely feels like you'll flip over and the seats feel extra narrow the higher you seat. Definitely take the time to see all the sculptures outside, grab some street hot dogs and merch.

Came this past weekend for the Kings game! Had a great experience. Everything was clean and I liked the set up. Best of all, they set up a huge Christmas tree a few feet in front of the arena for the holiday season, and it's surrounded by an ice skating rink! Saw so many ice skaters enjoying it. It was a lovely sight! There's also loads of restaurants and bars walking distance from the arena. So much fun to explore and enjoy right before or after a game. Can't wait to come back

The energy here is electric all around when a home game is playing. I was here last night when the LA Kings and the Detroit Red Wings were playing. I walked up to absorb the energy of the excited fans at the base of the entrance and the energy could not be contained. There were an influx of your local Angeleno street food turtle dogs that were around every corner. To accessorize, they also had an influx of vendors trying to lure you of the home front contenders. The experience was priceless to say the least.

I saw a Lakers game here with a group of 4 and although we sat in the nose bleeds the views felt way closer than I expected. The arena itself is clean and has lots of food and drink options as well as gift shops. There are staff members everywhere guiding people to their correct seats. The lighting where we sat was dark but that might be to see the court better. Parking was easy since there were different lots and garages within blocks of the arena.

They now have reusable cups that can't be taken out of the stadium. My kids were forced to dump out their almost full sodas before we could leave. Also, my double Jack & Coke was $60...robbery.

I've been to this arena once before, but never in the inside. The 2-8-24 (RIP KOBE) was my first time experiencing a Lakers game inside the stadium and it was nothing short of amazing. Entry was smooth and there were good food options! Also, I loved being able to experience the unveiling of the Kobe statue.

Alright, the crypto arena is neat, cool, lots of history surrounding it, and the statues are amazing...Kobe, need I say more? But why the price gouging in food/drinks? $9 for a bottle of soda, and $20+ for 1 can of beer. I get it, making a profit is necessary, but $6/$7 for a small bottle of soda is reasonable. Service fees were already charged $70/ticket on top of the hundred FOR the ticket. Overall, great experience, we went for a concert. It was a great time, great place ,nice area to have a fun night out etc. would def come back, but man, the cost is crazy!

Although this used to be Staples Center I will always refer to it as that! Home that Kobe Built!!!! Home of the Los Angeles Lakers! The fact that the Clippers are leaving enhances the value of the overall Arena! Being that it is 25 years old I would give this the 5 Stars it deserves for still trying to keep modern....for an ever changing amount of vendors from restaurants to snacks.... I haven't been here for a concert ever, but have been here for many other events and it is by far one of the best entertainment venues to attend!
