Staples Center - Los Angeles, California

The Staples Center provided an amazing experience, from the statues of past Hall of Fame players outside to the food options inside. As a fan visiting from out of town, I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the thoughtful touches throughout the venue.

I tried the dark chicken strips and garlic fries; the fries were delicious, but the chicken strips were a bit too juicy for my taste. I would recommend opting for the white chicken strips for a more traditional, drier experience. The frozen margarita, however, was quite overpriced at $27 for a small size, which was a bit disappointing.

The crowd at the arena was respectful, which I appreciated, especially as a visitor. I sensed that the quieter vibe might be out of respect for the LA Lakers, and as a fan, I felt it was a positive reflection of the team’s culture—Kobe’s influence is certainly felt among the fans.

The bathrooms were spotless, and the staff was exceptionally helpful, answering all of my questions with a smile. To top it off, we received a fan gift upon entering, adding a nice personal touch to the visit.

The only bad thing I can say is the kiosk orders. What if you're elderly and don't understand the use? Helpers are not very pleasant to assist. The computers were down at the carved sandwich restaurant, and they waited forever before they told us to go somewhere else. Other than that beautiful arena to watch the Lakers play. We took our son for his 43rd birthday it was great . Lakers won 🥳

As a Clippers fan, thanks for the memories Staples Center. Always had a blast there and caught many Clippers and Lakers games, but I'm so looking forward to the new Intuit Dome! Parking is a breeze in the underground parking garage and exiting and entering is no problem.

I really recommend going to Staples Center because you don’t need to wait a long time. I really enjoyed seeing the Lakers win the game. The staff are really nice because they know where every place are. The hotdogs there is also really good because they can have as much ketchup and mustard as you want. finally I really recommend going there because I love the view in my seat because I can see the timeout bench of the Lakers.

I’ve been here more times than I can count. Lakers games, Clipper game, concerts Kings games including the Stanley cup championship. A couple rallies and a memorial…. From 2000 to present it remains top notch A+ arena.

The statues of the Best Players were awesome and inspiring. Big parking Just beside the building but kinda expensive .

If you want to have a pictures of the statues for yourself without waiting , just be there early in the morning like 630am 😊

If your in LA this is definitely a must see, luckily enough I got a chance to see a lakers game while I came to LA for the first time. I see that LA loves it lakers. It was packed outside people just taking pictures and congregating. Everyone had on their lakers colors too. Definitely an experience I'll never forget.

I have been to the staples center for at least 20 games. Had the honor to meet Rob Parker from the Odd couple show he has with Chris Broussard. I have been a Laker fan since I was a kid and saw Kobe Bryant introduce the world of basketball to me after MJ. He is my all time favorite player so many special moments spent here shout out to my best friend e Chavez. He took me to many of those games La familia. No better time than Shaq and Kobe. I have been here for the Christmas game, but recently a lot of current Laker games from 2018 - 2024 even though I was a fan since a kid. Finally got a chance actually in college back in 2013. I would definitely coming here with your family and friends. It will always be called the Staples center to me I’m a 90s kid. I wore the custom merchandise that I was doing for Jordan Clarkson 6th man of the year. I specialize in working with local brands. Made merch for clippers not yet Lakers hopefully one day. Before they changed the name
