Crypto.com Arena Reviews

Went to watch a clippers game. Went as aposing fans crowd was awesome to us. Staff was fantastic. Venue was really nice easy to access. Very awesome experience.

American spectator sport at its very best! I cannot tell you how much fun we had at a Lakers Game here, everything was great. The atmosphere, the safety, the food options, the fans, the buzz, great audience behaviour and fan participation - brilliant. The only thing we underestimated was the time to get through the security queue into the venue; it was long but they were thorough, polite and everyone did the right thing - it took probably 25mins. This was out first visit to the Staples Centre, we walked there and came through the very hip LA Live for a cheap pizza dinner prior to entry into the game. The game was electric; the big screen even from our cheap seats was epic, the game caller, sound system- the buzz was awesome! The Lakers were slick and a thrill to watch. The place was packed but I never felt unsafe - everyone was respectful and polite despite the thousands of people there #cannotbebeatenforwow

Staples canter is a great venue. Lot of restrooms, easy to get food and beer - most seats has good view.

We came to LA for my birthday and a Lakers game was on out to-do list. We stayed in West Hollywood and were running late but Waze took us a very bizarre but traffic free route... so it was easy getting there. Parking was simple because we went in a lot.

We had excellent seats which made it exciting... we were close enough to see Jack Nicolson and Larry David. The most interesting part was how cool the fans were. I’m from Philly and we are yelling and chanting from start to finish and trying to disrupt the opposing team’s free throw shots even if we’re blowing the other team away. But this was a back and forth 2 point game with the Kings and the fans seemed to just chit chat with each other. It was funny because they didn’t start making a little noise until the last few minutes of the game.
It was so LA 😎

I went there to attend a game for Los Angeles Clippers and it was very nice. You can enjoy 3 hours including the game and the fun before the game in the surrounding area of the center

The Staples Center is a great venue. I have been to many indoor arenas and the Staples Center will not disappoint! The food options are good but the layout of the arena allows great visibility to the center of the arena.

We had a great night out watching the basketball at the Staples Centre, we got an Uber from Anaheim and got there early to get something to eat! There were plenty of places to choose from too! The staff were very helpful and showed us to where our seats were. We had seats really high up and couldn’t believe how big the place was. We really enjoyed our night there and it was something to tick off our bucket list while visiting America on our 6 week holiday from Australia
This is definitely something you must do while you are here!

Been Lakers fan all my life. Bout time they put a solid team together. Only disappointing thing about the venue is the ticket price to watch the games. Was at 100 level and the seats weren’t cheap. Through out the game ppl were sitting in other ppls seats. I thought I was going to get in a fight cuz someone said I was sitting in theirs, until they looked at their ticket and realized they were the ones wrong. Paid too much for my seat to not know where it is. Concession prices are a high grab too. $8 for chips with a little bit of nacho cheese on the side, $14 pints of beer. Overall it cost too DAYUM much for a date night and way too much to take a family. But is entertaining.

We went to see the basketball arena of L.A. and found the Mood very cool, super nice and quiet, beautiful. We did not make the guided tour throughout the arena as the available dates did not coincide with our days in Los Angeles. We only know the exterior and the store where we made some cominhas. You can take a lot of cool photos at the entrance.... there are several statues, including one of Kobe Bryant with the daughter. In the vicinity of Crypto Arena there is a square and several cool restaurants.

We couldn't get tickets to the Lakers but went to see the Clippers v Timberwolves just to experience a USA basketball match. Staples Centre is a great venue and we had an awesome night.

Booked 2 tickets for the lakers vs orlando magic game. Was absolutely thrilling from start to finish. Unfortuately lakers lost the game, but the place is amazing. Really loved the shop as well. Do note that you cannot bring in big backpacks as well as DSLR cameras. Small point and shoot cameras are alright.

We visited for the ice hockey. Queues outside the centre before the game were long and there seemed to be a bottleneck at each entry point where tickets were being checked manually. Inside there's a variety of fast food outlets offering basic food. Great views from mosts seats. Amazingly it takes only 2 hours to convert the stadium from hockey to basketball and vice-versa. The biggest disappointment though were the Kings, losing to the Senators after leading.

I have been here multiple times. Everything seems to work like clockwork. Drink and food prices are perhaps a little too heavy. Staff are helpful. It’s a modern stadium so view are great, unless perhaps you are in the nosebleed seats.

We saw the Harlem Globetrotters in the box suite and it was fantastic! The Crypto (formerly Staples) Center was really nice. Parking was super simple and purchased ahead of time in Lot 1. I highly recommend getting that Lot because it’s super close to the stadium. We had VIP entrance and there were many good options as we made our way to the suite. Practically no lines. We will definitely be back to check out more games and concerts! Our teenagers and young kids loved the experience as well.

This arena is in downtown LA , inside the LA Live area. Easy to reach by car or public transportation. This is a very modern arena where you can watch pretty well either sport or concerts.

Really? This is no "attraction" that one needs to drop everything and see. Go to a Lakers game or a concert and that is the value. Don't make this a destination on its own.

Staples center is the spot for concerts. And sporting events. Easy parking all around the center. Plus easy entry. On the north side is LA live full of great restaurants for before or after events. Since Covid the food choices inside have gotten much better

Last time I came here was for a lakers game, atmosphere is awesome it’s a breathtaking experience. Will definitely be going back.

A pleasant experience, it is a spectacle to see a game of Basket in this place, the stadium itself beautiful and impeccable, good view from all angles and good sound.
Amenities and good local food.

A nice place especially if you are Lakers fun. There are many other events that take place such as concerts. In September 2018, I visited "Nokia Theater" just across Staples center - guess who was performing! Zaiko Langa Langa - featuring the only and only "Nyoka Longo". It was awesome to see an African Band playing live. I love Staples Center and the vicinity - a walking distance to Downtown LA - another fabulous place.

Been here many times. Last was to watch a LA Kings game. Lucky to be in a suite this time. Parking is easy. Saw Cher, many Kings games, The Who and many others over the years.

Awesome evening - just flew in from Australia and walked to venue bought some tickets and fully immersed ourselves in NBA watching the Clippers and Jazz go at it. Huge venue, good crowd, great fun....you gotta do it once!

Attended an open house where specific business partners were given the opportunity to meet current and retired players, view the locker room, shoot baskets, enjoy dinner and lastly two informative panels. An extraordinary event!

Too bad Lebron didn't play. Easy to get to stadium in downtown LA. McDonald's inside. Ate chicken tenders and fries from courtside ordering. Game was fun. Warriors killed Lakers! Hotdogs being sold on street after game was weird. Easy to uber to and from.

Unless you are ready to junk food ,don't look for great salads, juice bar etc etc. We have been to 5 basketball games this year and have done the loop around the food court. We ask for tickets to get into the season holders club.. after 3 stops were ask if we had reservations lol lol we had tickets and our name was on the list.. For $55 dollars each it was a buffet. Some unrecognizable brown meat, fries, grilled asparagus, it all look old and tired, so we left and got cold tacos . Best thing we found was fresh cut pineapple.

Traveled all the way from Canada to attend a nice concert. Great acoustic and safe venue. Congrats LA for having such a nice place like Staples Center

Amazing experience. This is how I define my trip to Casa dos Lakers. I arrived at the last minute and had no problems accessing the stadium and was quickly in my seat. The place, the atmosphere, the experience… it was incredible. Seeing the Lakers team, with their star Lebron James, was one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had. I will be back!!!

My wife and I had the privilege of going to a game here when the Lakers played the Magic. We are Magic fans, and I'm proud to say we won.
It was a pleasant experience, and we had passed to the Chairman's Room. That too was a wonderful experiemce.

Caught the Kings vs Blackhawks here recently. The arena is nice. Paid $20 to park under the Convention Center which seems like a safe place to park. Had no issues. Arena itself is nice. We got a couple of good sandwiches and sodas, but spent ~$40. About what you expect at a sporting event.

Went here to watch an NBA game with 3 friends. We found it nearly impossible to even buy tickets to get in. Not sure if it had something to do with the Kobe memorial but it was so disorganised and horrible that we just about gave up. The centre itself looks nice and is well maintained with great sound and lighting. Confusing on how to get to the top levels though, seats were very cramped and drink/food prices are OUTRAGEOUS!! Robbery really. Not sure how they get away with it. This could be an amazing centre but there were so many downfalls with the experience.

I recently attended a basketball game between the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Clippers basketball teams (it is also the home of the LA Lakers and Kings hockey team). The venue is easy to navigate and the staff and locals were helpful and friendly to us. The pretzels were good and drinks were tasty. Prices were in line with that type of venue pricing. Lucky for us this day - the Jazz were the winners of the game but we were winners overall because we got to be there to enjoy the good weather and good game.

Took my son to see pre season Lakers game here and such a great venue! Clean toilets, plenty of food variety, good views from not court side seats and easy to get to by subway from Hollywood!

Home of the Lakers.
Great views everywhere.
We sit high up and love it.
Expect to pay big for food and drinks, but then, that's in every arena.

Went there during the NBA preseason 2019, Lakers & Clippers. Did not get the ticket to watch the game inside but it was fun even just join some of the events outside the venue. Also, the sports bar across the road with several big screens was the right place for those who did not get the tickets. Great atmosphere, great game!

Saw a LA Kings game here tonight,venue is amazing,very comfortable seating great variety of food and drink.Outside we saw thousands at the spontaneous memorial to Kobe Bryant which was very sobering and touching.

Visiting DTLA is not the easiest of undertakings. But if you are an avid sports fan you just have to do it. Once you're in the Staples Center area you'd surely have a great time, with the many adjacent places you can visit after the game.

Watched the Clippers game New Years Day. Very impressed with the easy flow in and out of the arena. Being from the UK I'm used to a huge queue to get in and out but this was so well organised minimal wait to enter and pass through security, escalators for each level that were manned to avoid a bottle neck. The game was great, loved seeing the little lad sing the National Anthem. Card only at this venue that could have caught us out being 'tourists' we took $$$ but did have a card thankfully.

First time at a NBA game (Lakers vs Pelicans) and it was bloody unreal! The atmosphere is crazy and I’ve never witnessed anything like it. Was very lucky to get affordable tickets near the Lakers tunnel. If a NBA game isn’t on your bucket list, I’d recommend adding it!!

Beautiful place - my family was really happy to visit this giant place - really raccomanded for have a jurney outside of normal tourisric path.

Everything run smoothly, most of the employees were very supportive and helpfully, the show is amazing... And Lakers won!
Arrive with anticipation to avoid the congestion by the crowd, in the streets and within the arena.

We live in Alaska but have been to the Staples Center numerous times for various events including concerts and sporting events. We recently went for a Kings game. It's really nice and much more enjoyable to stay at one of the hotels nearby (Marriott or Ritz Carlton) and walk to and from the event to avoid parking and traffic.

Historic place, a must for any basketball fan. The experience of watching a game of the Lakers along with the possibility of seeing the statues of historic players of the team makes everything very cool.

Tickets are expensive. Downtown Los Angeles is, at best, grim and grimy. Traffic, of course, is usually horrible. The venue itself is not one of the great sports palaces of the work or the United States. And if you get the cheapest tickets and you are high in the rafters, you see very little. Of course given most performances by the Lakers these days, that may not be such a bad thing

See The Lakers, get in a concert, the Staples Center is a beautiful place and a great venue. Pretty easy to get to and park. Nothing's cheap but it's worth the experience.

If you never been to a basketball stadium before, please do it. It's amazing, even if you get one of the upper seats.

There's a lot of convenience stuff on every floor and the official Lakers store at the ground level. Which means, a MUST STOP for every Lakers fan.

A very good sports venue, which they keep updating to make sure it's still in good shape. I'm a big fan, though the high seats there are higher than any others, since there are three levels of suites.

I did not see an event or game, but the area outside is very cool with statues of all the LA sports luminaries. Part of the whole LA Live complex so definitely worth visiting.

“Panem et circenses!” has for eternities been a backbone of civilized distraction from political and daily life struggles.

Staples Center has exactly that function in DTLA! Embedded in the increasingly vibrant and attractive area to include the entire L.A. live district, it hosts all kinds of sports and entertainment venues. It does not even matter whether one is a die-hard fan or an accidental tourist: the energetic atmosphere in the stadium - that regardless of the fundamental dislikes of the antagonistic teams (e.g. LA Lakers vs NY Knicks on Jan 04, 2019) remains committed to a peaceful and enjoyable experience – is breathtaking. And the amazing thing is that it is great fun to be next to the floor but the suites and even the high/far away seats have their respective sweet aspects.

Two negatives: (1) the seats are to short for a 6’4” person; and (2) while there are increasing food options outside the stadium in walking distance (e.g. Faith & Flower was great), inside they are still limited and better quality food would be highly desirable.

(Originally posted by me on yelp)

Great view for sporting events and concerts from any seat. The sound varies greatly depending on the musical guest. A recent performance the sound was just loud, with distortion.

Whether inside the Staples Center arena or outside there's a lot to do and see. The bronze sculptures found outside are an attraction all by themselves. Great gift shops with tons of apparel to choose from. LA Live is right there too. What more can you ask for?

Went to a Clippers game in the Staples Center and had a great time! Good seats even away from the court! Friendly helpful ushers! Entertaining half time. No long lines for food or drinks because they have so many stands open. Parked in a lot a few blocks away and walked there for a cheaper lot. Really close to public transportation. Near the J.W. Marriott Hotel. Really great place to bring the family! Alcohol is sold. Clippers won!

Visited Staples Centre for the first time in 2 occasions this month for 2 NBA preseason matches first game was Lakers vs Nuggets we had VIP seating which I was impressed by and we got servers come and take our food orders.The menu was great and the was a great selection of game watching food to choose from the first time we placed a rather big order and it took a very long time to come I had to get the servers attention to ask how far away the food was however she sorted it quick a standout for our family was the yummy heated cookies delish we ordered 3 on the first game and the next night we ordered 6 yes they were that good,the next night we watched LA Clippers vs Timberwolves and we had again great seats however not in VIP so I had to walk out to get our food and the variety of good food option was fantastic from chicken to nachos to burgers to sushi they had it all,the facilities were clean restrooms nice and tidy and door staff upon entering and exiting had such welcoming and pleasant manners which no appreciated all in all a great family night out for my sons 8,10,12

We went to enjoy the BET experience and check out some of the free concerts. The Staple Center complex was a cool experience. Parking is close by and there are a ton of places to eat!

Came for a Clippers game. Got tickets at a great price in a C level suite on Stubhub. The suites are very roomy and comfortable. Went to the general public area and got McDonald’s. That was a nice surprise for my son.

Went to vist Staple basketball season hand not commenzed so we check out the statues and store. We even saw a Kobr Bryant hat worth over 25,000.00

Sat in the Premier Seating area and enjoyed the quick service and view of the ice. Went to see The Colorado Avalanche play the Kings and had as many Avs fans in our area as Kings fans.

Flew into LAX from East Coast on way down to San Diego. Our son told us it was opening night for LA Clippers. We got inexpensive seats upstairs for game. Ate appetizers at Sports Bar attached to arena. Great food. Even if you do not like the Clippers, the laser show at the beginning is worth your time. Nice stadium. Clean. So much more than East Coast games. Enjoy!!

First very baseball game, with two young netballers from the uk. Sparks kindly gave us autograph passes when we told the, we were visiting so got to walk onto the legendary court to meet a couple of players. Gladly sparks won and we’re now fans!

This is a great venue. I always have a gopd time watching the Kings, Lakers, or Clippers. Expect that LA Lakers tickets are higher. I know the Clippers have had a good season recently, I know they and the Kings give discounts depending on if you're a Veteran or other situations.
Food is sky-high of course, but that is like any venue I have ever been to like this. I used to take the train because it goes directly to the Staples Center. If you have Metro Card you may want to park at another station and ride in. In fact, you may want to start saving for a night here and the awesome restaurants in the area. Also, this area is the best for Christmas Lights. Aside from Universal City, both are on the Metro Line.

I was just at the Staples Center for the Saturday night of KCON.

The production quality was amazing. I have a theatre background, and the staff here is champ!

The staff were friendly and efficient. The camera work was expert. The security members handled a medical emergency with skill and calm.

We enjoyed the concert because of the staff as well as the performers.

For the crowds the arena was clean and held at a good temperature. We arrived an hour early and were able to find our seats quickly. The line for the main merchandise store was extremely long.

What a day ,people line it up around 5 am , for GIANNA & KOBE"s celebration of life , R.I.P . we all love and miss both of you ! Life is not about how you survived in the storm it is about how you dance in the rain ~~~~~ R.I. P.

Visited DTLA and saw the Lakers and Suns play. I love the whole DTLA and Staples Center vibe. Recommend at least once everyone go see a game or concert here.

Went to see a Lakes vs Clippers game and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. The area is in amazing condition and it is very easy to walk in it. All the ammenities inside are great for a bit or drink

We went there in June to see a Sparks game, a women's team, it was amazing! A crazy atmosphere, and the stands were full! It was super nice and we quickly take to the game! To be redone

Being a Basketball fan I made sure to go downtown LA just to visit the Staples Center even though we were in summer off season. I got to see the building of the stadium from outside and checked the players statutes (Karimk Magic...) outside especially Shaq hung up there in the sky. I also visited the official store hoping to get Lebron James new Jersey but unfortunately it wasn't released yet. I was pleased and took several photos. Just in face you can enjoy a good meal at one of the restaurants or cafes.

Great venue for a concert. I have been to so many concerts here. Parking a challenge.. I would get a Lyft.

We purchased tickets to the Lakers vs Nuggets preseason game. We chose seats in the PR section and it gave us a close enough view of the players that we didn’t feel the need to watch the centre screen. The atmosphere was great, the place was clean and the chilli cheese fries were delicious. It was our first time at an NBA game and we both really enjoyed it. Spend a little more to sit in PR or sections starting with 2 or 1; it’s well worth it.

We were thankful to check out a few hockey and basketball games. Awesome spot right in the city. It’s busy around on games days but everything moves well in and out.

I have been there for hockey, concerts, meetings, etc. Must go at least once. It is definitely an experience, Pricey to eat there.

Coming from Oregon and really only having been to the Rose Quarter, the Staples Center and the surrounding area was quite a big step up. Plenty of parking, tons to see and do and just awe inspiring for us small town Oregonians. Would have given 5 stars, but the Lakers play here and as a Blazer fan it would be wrong of me not to fault it for that. In other news, the Blazers did beat the Clippers while we were there so that was a plus.

We had such a great time at a Clippers Game. The Staples Center is great! We were in a PR section with decent views. We could order food from a server and have it brought to us. That was cool. There are much better seating but too much $ for us. The center was easy to navigate. We parked down the street for $15. Easy entry and pretty easy exit. Super close to Staples.

Absolutely recommended experience, not only for basketball fans like me, but for everyone. The facility is huge and beautiful. Organized to perfection, it guarantees that you can watch the matches with a good view from every area. Clean and well kept. The reception clerk did her best to resolve a problem with the ticket app.

I am a New Yorker and therefore gravitate to city centers. They have really done a great job building DTLA. It's fun, great restaurants and the Staples Center is nice. Parking stinks but so does all of LA.

TERRRIBLE costumer service. The people who are supposed to direct you to your seats know NOTHING and are totally unhelpful, the managers or the people in charge of the events (for my case Calibash 2020) were rude, even to their own workers. When I called to complain and at the end of the day they ignored me and kept hanging up on me and it took me almost a week to talk to the supervisor. At the end of the day, they told me that they could not do anything about because (since me and my friends lost our tickets on our 3rd move of seats due to the fact that their staff do not know the directory of the venue) they had no prove that we actual purchase the tickets. Instead they sat us very far from where we were supposed to be seated and took a long time to just tell me that there was nothing they could do.

Had a great time seeing Ne-Yo, LL Cool J, Ludacrist & Nas performance live. Very crowded. But Downtown LA is lit and is always popping with tones of places to eat and entertainment everywhere, or just simply hangout with friends & family.

I always go to cryptoarena.com because the nba games. The stadium is very dark and if you see the lakers play you get to see lebron and other players.

My son loved seeing the Staples Center and the awesome bronze sculptures of the star athletes who've represented LA over the years. It was cool!

Very nice arena and staff. Lots of food options and the drink selection was great. View point from our seats were nice.

THE BEST EXPIRIENCE EVE, very friendly staff.
section 108 has a very good view.
there is a Lakers merch store in the center

Watched the LA Clippers beat the Boston Celtics at Staples. It’s a good venue with comfortable seats and quite good facilities. It can get expensive to find good seats in popular games so order early!

We went to see Disney on Ice at the Staples Center. We parked about one to two blocks away from the Staples Center, and the parking was $20. Staples Center was enormous, and it was hard to find things. But, since there were ushers, it was pretty easy to find your seat. There were many concessions stands, but we went to Outtakes. We ordered the portobello-caprese sandwich, which was delicious and the Turkey Bacon Wrap, which was mostly just turkey and lettuce. We also wanted to get dippin dots or a snow cone, but we discovered that dippin dots was $12 and a snow cone in a cup was $15, so we just skipped the whole thing. I'm glad that I brought a jacket because it was freezing in there. Disney on Ice was a very entertaining show, and we hope to go back soon.

Came here on a business trip and was able to catch a kings game against my islanders. Loved the building, and our 7-2 win!

As I have said in a previous review, we go to Staples many times during the year. I have never had a good experience there. Not that we don't love the concerts etc., I am talking about the venue. It is just awful in so many ways.

They have about 20 parking spaces in the front. None of them are for handicapped parking, so all those with a disability are sent sometimes more than a block away in structures. That might be doable in a wheel chair, but if you have a walking issue, that is just too bad. Figure it out, on your own, or stay home.

This time we went to Monster Jam, which my grandson loved. What he did not love was the awful food, the inability to get to a restroom that does not have a line that stretches for quite a while and the total indifference of the employees there.

Parking is 30$ (this time--it changes) and there is next to no security watching your vehicle.

We will be back because sometimes we have no choice, but it could be great, but they don't care.

Going to Staples Center is sort of like going to the dentist, you don't want to but you have to. They have a lot of events, be it concerts or sports and sometimes you can't avoid the place. This time we took our grandson to see Disney On Ice. Now, Disney On Ice was great, this review is about Staples.

Let's start with parking. It is awful and expensive. It can run anywhere from $25 to $55 and you don't get a decent spot. You will be sent to the large parking structures and you will walk and then you will walk some more. Good lucky finding your car later. I suggest you take a photo of the area in which you are parked.

Getting in takes forever, they never are able to just get those doors open when they say they will. One thing that is nice is you will show your vax card or you or not getting in. Once in, you are supposed to wear your mask, but they don't bother to enforce that at all.

Once in you will be directed which way to go to get to your seats and the chances are the staff will send you the wrong way. They have a 100% failure rate with me. So, you will walk and walk some more. Once in your seats you will find them to be uncomfortable and ever so close together. Further, if you are in Section 300 you will be able to see nothing, so buy in Section 100 or 200.

The food offerings at Staples are just the worst. Everything is overpriced and the food is bad. There is nothing you want to eat there so eat before you go in.

The staff is nice, but has no knowledge of the venue in which they work.

Whenever I know I will have to settle for Staples to see something, I grin and bear it and for the cost I should not have to. They are changing their name in 2 weeks, but it will be the same place.

I was a little worried going into Downtown LA however Staples Centre is in LA Live and there's lots of people, security and energy around! I'd definitely head to Staples to get a basketball game

OK, the only reason I'm writing this review, is because as a 55 year old man, they asked me for ID to buy a beer. Really!? So, I showed my drivers license (from Canada) and then she demanded a passport. Really!? Of course I don't carry it to a hockey game and was refused. No one else in my group was asked. I really ought to have complained (but didn't)... it was just so bizarre. A buddy bought for me. Other than that, there isn't a bad seat in the house, and the statues outside were really well done.

If you are a NBA fan, especially Lakers fan, then this is a place you must visit. Although watching a Lakers game could easily cost you hundreds of dollars.

Last night my husband and I went to watch the LA Lakers v Washington Wizards. What a great venue and a brilliant game. We were literally sitting in the back row of the venue, but had still had a great view. The tickets were expensive, especially based on where we were sitting. Perhaps more leg room would have been great, when you are sitting for hours.

Huge arena perfect for seeing a game! Multiple choices for concessions. Lots of choices in the area as well.

Only marking down for the customer service at will call not bring very helpful/knowledgeable.

We are not sports fans, however, NBA is part of the American culture and watching a game is a must if you get the opportunity. Being Europeans, we hadn’t been in a basketball game before, simply because we are not fans. Although, experiencing a game with Lakers was the best entertainment! Highly recommended!

Came here for the award show... large venue... we could have used more monitors... The view was ok, but not what I know it could be.

We went to see a Basketball match. Great place well appointed. We were on the very high seatings but we could see perfectly.

Ok my friends got nose bleed tickets from work for the LA Clippers game, not the LA Lakers but the Clippers. It’s free so what the heck. Took the metro train to downtown LA. Don’t have to worry about parking etc. We are on a tight budget looking for a good time. A cup of beer $8-10 was expected. Hot dogs and pretzel , etc. We came for the show, not the food. We love rooting for our Los Angeles sport teams! Los Angeles is a city that takes pride in their teams! So we were really high in the stadium , I watched more of the television than the actual game. You can’t ask for much when it’s free.

Great location for this sport/concert venue. Right in the middle of the LA downtown. A lot of restaurants around and parking buildings (however parking may get a tod expensive around). You also have a nearby Grammy Museum and other attractions....

Flew from Canada to watch the Lakers play and they didn’t disappoint! Outside the arena they had a Laker legend signing autographs, along with the trophy they won a couple years ago for pictures. Security ensured that only those who were supposed to be there attended.
Lots of food options available all over the stadium. It’s not cheap but it is worth your bucks. We had a cheeseburger and some fries, and they turned out to be quite tasty! We sat in PR 16, lucky enough we had an excellent view of the court. The pre-game and game itself was very exciting.
Overall the experience was definitely worth the price. My girlfriend and I were both surprised as it didn’t feel just like a basketball game, but more of a complete Laker experience. The Lakers shop was pricy (as you’d expect) but they had pretty much anything you can think of, although they were sadly sold out of magnets. If you are really afraid of contracting COVID-19, beware that no one is wearing their mask while seated, although it is mandatory. Security did not enforce the rule at all.
Strongly recommend to any sports fan or anyone looking for a great time in Los Angeles.

Awesome seats and food and drink options both inside and outside the arena.

Parking was handy and literally on the next block and was linked to the Center via a walkway.

Went to a LA Lakers game last year during a business outing. Had a blast, in arena entertainment was great. Atmosphere was very Hollywood. If you are in town during a game night it's worth the cost. Found my tickets last minute on SeatGeek.

Fun night, impressive venue. Went for the series Kings-Oilers.
Food everywhere, great selection. Expensive beer. Music resounding with nasty KPOP.

GO KINGS GO LAKERS!!

I have seen concerts and games! I love the Hockey games! Got to see the LA Kings! There is parking available and the Staff is so attentive and helpful. can’t wait for the next cool event! Grab a drink and enjoy!

Had a great view of ice from box B4, very roomy, comfortable chairs. Bathroom very close and no long waits as only box seat holders used them.

Very cool place.. lots of amazing athletes have played in this arena. Visited for a game vs Devils, it was an awesome game with OT win, but it was an early game and not so good opponent so the place was not full. Pretty loud though. The grounds around the arena are also pretty awesome. lots of restaurants and bars. Very safe surrounding. Would love to come back when NBA is back and watch the Lakers play.

STAPLES Center is huge. It is a beautiful stadium right in the heart of LA. Lots of restaurants with outdoor seating just outside the stadium and ice skating rink that looked pretty popular. The line for ice skating was wrapped all around the front of the Staples Center. I had to laugh because snow and ice are so common where I'm from.

The Crypto,com Arena used to be Staples Center. Nothing has changed but the name.

If you are going to basketball or hockey it is great place to see such sports.

If you are going to a concert it is above average and so much better than the huge stadiums that are just awful.

The sound system is very good for a concert. It holds thousands of people so it is going to be crowded. They have top acts there and many of them sell out very fast. The staff is very nice and can help you. They have a no bag policy and you get a special line if you do that. If you bring a clear plastic bag they will let you in, you will just be in another line which is longer. I suggest you get there early.

Parking is a bear in that you will be walking up to a block if you are not there very early. They have parking, but some of it is around the block. The parking people seem confused and are not much help.

The food there is above average, all the junk food you may want. They also have a bar on every floor.

The seats are a little small and plastic so they are not the most comfortable, but they are fine.

Use the restroom before you get there or as soon as you get there. There are not enough, especially for women, and the line is long.

We have been there for many events. I do like it and I think you will as well.

Unfortunately we were at a time of the games vacation, in which there was no possibility to watch any game.
But we know the entire outside area of the Arena that has great and beautiful structure, plus impressive statues of its biggest stars in real size!!!
We met the store and bought some souvenirs.

Came here to watch the LA Kings sweep up the Toronto Maple Leafs back in January 2015 and it was amazing!
Thought the score was 0-2 only, there was lots of entertainment! The band "Who's Your Daddy" performed both anthems and they sang em exceptionally well as a quartet.
Also found the Kings mascot to be quite hilarious as we was trolling Maple Leafs fans! They showed him on the jumbo tron "sweeping up leaves".
Overall it was a great experience and I definitely will be returning here in the future for more games!

I was always a fan of basketball, and I was very excited to go to the Staples Center. I loved the lively atmosphere of the place, and the fun of watching a dynamic basketball game live was great.

I love that Tripadvisor still has this listed as "Staples Center," which is how most of us in SoCal still refer to it. I've come here for Lakers and Kings games several times over the years, and most recently came for a Kings playoff hockey game. Even though it's over 20 years old, it's still a great venue.

Security and traffic flow inside are very good. There are many parking lots around the area, but it's very easy and much cheaper to just take the Metro to the Pico Station. From there, it's an easy and safe 5-minute walk. Be sure to also check out the north side of the arena where all the statues are located.

Just like Dodger Stadium, whether you like sports or not, a night around LA Live is an amazing way to spend an evening in Los Angeles.

The entire area has tons of popular bars, restaurants, bowling, theaters, malls, hotels, etc with Staples Center right in the middle.

One of the most iconic sports teams in the world, watching a Clippers or Lakers basketball game is a classic in LA - and you may catch a celebrity or two.

Go early and grab dinner and drinks, Yardhouse is a good choice and walking distance.

There is a metro stop close but I'd just Uber to avoid the mayhem.

Visiting from Australia, we had the opportunity to watch The Lakers vs The Clippers - What an amazing stadium and spetical. Entertainment and atmosphere through out the game was brilliant. Very professional and a real friendly sponsorship base where there was friendly fire within the crowd. Even after the game, there were these vendors selling hotdogs as the 25,000 strong crowd were leaving for a late night snack..

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.

Was a great experience in the premium seating section. Lots of food options, however line for mens bathroom was quite long. Parking was easy and convenient, took us 2min to park and 2min to leave, parking in garage 1 right next door. Only downside was Lakers losing.

Crypto.com Arena is fantastic for sports and concerts—great atmosphere, modern facilities, and unforgettable events.

I saw the lakers play. They lost.😂

Was there for the Lakers game vs Chicago bulls, it was a childhood dream that became true, definitely worth the experience, you can't be L.A without attending a Lakers game at the Staples center.

I decided to check out an L.A. Clippers vs Phoenix Suns basketball game while i was in Los Angeles. Normally when i visit an arena for the first time i like to walk around the inside concourse to see what interesting things each arena has on display or to offer the fans attending, and surprisingly for an arena with 3 major sports teams this one was pretty lackluster for things of interest in the inside. As for the positives, this arena was quite clean and the seats had great viewing even in the upper level. To me the greatest highlights of this arena were on the outside where they had incredible sculptures in tribute to their past star L.A. Lakers and Kings players

What a cool stadium.. travelled from Australia to see NBA and NHL and definitely didn’t disappoint!!

Had the distinct pleasure of taking in a Kings hockey game while in LA last weekend. As a first time visitor to the Staples Center, I was impressed. Seating was comfortable, admission was smooth and professionally handled. There were plenty of venues for food and drink. A great time was had by all!

Staples Center is a world class venue flanked by LA Live. We’ve seen everything from Lakers games to a P!nk concert to Momster Jam here. The venue is state of the art but the location makes it feel like a true get away. We take the train from San Diego to union station and stay in one of the LA Live Marriotts.

Still a great place for entertainment. No bad seats even in the 300 section. Sparks game, concerts any family entertainment.

Being as it was our first visit I cant compare it to what it was but rather what my experience was. We went for a Clippers-Lakers game where the Clippers were the home team. From the workers at the concession stand to the ushers we found everyone to be pleasant and helpful. Had seats in section 330 row 1, while this is a bit farther up than I normally choose to seat at an event we were pleased with the view and had a great time. Would most certainly recommend a basketball game here.

My only complaint would be the forced use of the AXS app to gain entry - we had some technical difficulties between Vivid and AXS a which was eventually worked out just minutes before tip off so in the end all was fine...but sure would have been nice to have an old school ticket in hand.

San Manuel restaurant had great food and excellent service, Centurian suite is always fun and the Chairmans room is a great way to pass time during intermissions. .

Excellent Service. Went to a Lakers Game. Met Lebron and the rest of the team. Entertaining game against the Orlando Magic. Markelle Fultz Triple Double

We were visiting LA and got tickets to an LA Clippers game. It was a lot of fun. Nice venue to watch a basketball game. We walked a bit around LA Live both before and after the game. There's quite a lot there. Since it was November, the ice skating rink was set up. I'm from New York, and it was kind of a blend of Rockefeller Center (with the ice skating rink and Christmas decorations) and Time Square with all of the lights. Well worth a visit.

Went to the Clippers-Celtics game and had a blast. We had fairly decent seats. One of the better NBA arenas I've been to.

Been here for quite a few events, especially NBA games. There isn't a bad seat in the house, even the nosebleeds which we usually sit at to save money. Its clean and the staff is always helping, especially when you need help finding your seats. For a special work event, we stayed in one of their suites and had a great time. Even though we were in a special room, we still felt part of the game. To top of the suite stay, the dessert cart was brought in and we were in heaven. There's a ton of parking outside if you don't want to park in the arena parking. I've heard that you can even take the train here, which I've yet to do since we usually just drive.

Went to see Lakers game. Have been there before; was pleasantly surprised. Arena is updated-I guess have to keep up with the new arenas in the area. More food options

I booked same-day tickets last minutes to take my daughter to watch The LA Lakers during our stay in Los Angeles. Neither of us are familiar with basketball as a sport but we wanted to go for the experience. The followers are so passionate and it was great fun to watch!

Came here for a Saturday hockey game on the 300 level (last minute seats). Though in downtown, it was not that hard to get here (bar normal traffic). Parking was a bit harder due to the car show next door.

The arena was easy to get in, to get around and had great seating/views.

We will gladly go back. It is nice that there are several restaurants nearby for pre and post games.

Love the location: It's downtown at LA Live. Surrounded by many restaurants, lots of parking and plenty of security.
Hate the location: It's downtown. Traffic getting there and leaving is horrible. Parking lots all charge too much.
Love the venue: They have so many choices of entertainment. Lakers, Clippers, Kings and many concerts. All the top entertainers in the country hold concerts there. Sound system is pretty good.
Hate the Venue: Ticket prices are outrageous. Trying to get good seats for a sporting event or concert are impossible unless your willing to pay high prices to a broker. The cost of food and drinks are just as high. The seats are too close together. Not much leg room for tall people. Be prepared to pay a lot for parking.
Overall: Hate to go there and deal with traffic and high prices, but if you love to see the Lakers, Clippers, Kings and all the top entertainers, you have to go!!

Had a blast at the Lakers and Cavs game. The Staples center had comfortable seats and it was a breeze going inside. No long lines. I also liked the DTLA area because it had lots to do plus tons of restaurants. Def a sports Fan's Paradise.

Great to see LeBron James, comfortable seats with, all seats get a good view, Close to subway on purple line

Stadium is huge! Easy to get to by metro system -bus or train. Simple and fast entry system... can be quite difficult to find seating block. The 200's are on the same level as all the 100's...its only the 300's that are up the escalators. Typically put off of going to the Downtowns of cities as haven't had great experiences however downtown LA is built up quite well.

Went to a concert on a Saturday night. Thought Staples, downtown it would be a nightmare getting in. Not at all. They have it figured out and we got in and out with a breeze. Staples is a great place for a show. The sound and aquatics are good.
My wife worries about being in places that are not safe. This area is very safe and plenty of police in the area.

This place is well worth a visit even if it is closed or you do not have a ticket to whatever is going on inside. The Center is designed to welcome visitors. The statues/ photo-ops are excellent. There is even a statue of a broadcaster at a desk with an extra chair for you to pose in. Of course, the Center had me with the Gretzky statue. The Kobe memorial was poignant. Plenty of nearby restaurants/ touristy things to do.

We used a suite at this arena. The service was lacking. Did not stock enough water and food for number of people and only came back once to refill main courses in middle of event. The view was phenomenal though and the event was awesome.

Say goodbye to Kobe, large outdoor area with flowers, candles, and balloons next to all the restaurants. Last night's event inside had a quiet minute too. Outdoors hundreds of mourners. T-shirt sellers $10 or memory scarfs 5 bucks. Must see before it is gone. Large photo displays on buildings surrounding the Staples Center. MeuterMedia

In my opinion the stadium is in a very good place I really liked the way you enter the stadium is very clean and the lighting is good, I sat in a place not so low and still looked very good.

Staples Center is a multi-purpose arena in Downtown Los Angeles. Adjacent to the L.A. Live development, it is located next to the Los Angeles Convention Center complex along Figueroa Street.

You will need "deep" pockets to attend most events at this world class arena. Home of the Lakers, Clippers and hockey.
Good freeway and light rail access, many hotels in the area.

I recommend getting there early as parking can be a challenge. This venue is clean, the staff is friendly, there are many choices for food. The atmosphere was perfect for a game. This was a family event and all 15 of us enjoyed ourselves. We discussed the next game we'd attend as we were leaving. Ages 8 - 63.

If you are a basketball fan, you should stop by and see a game while the season is on. Also a place with many concerts. I usually go to about 5-7 events per year here. Good venue

Tickets aren't cheap, parking costs a lot, and traffic is a nightmare... but hey, it's totally worth it. The food selections are great and the beverages are good too. The interior of the Staples Center is breathtaking. I love the top floor patio! The Staples Center experience does carry a hefty price tag so be prepared to spend and spend a lot...

Well maintained and numerous food and drink offerings but seating for concerts is not the best. Additionally, large screens to see the performers is sometimes blocked in certain seats and not able to see or utilize, espcially the higher seats.

We were in 300 section and it still was a great view. The setup was perfect and very entertaining. Everything was easy to get to. I definitely can't wait to come back and watch a basketball game.

Our first visit to Staples Center. Many places to eat... inside and around the center. Many street carts selling hot dogs.

Be prepared to spend money on the food and drinks.

Parking for all events is really expensive. Each event is a different price. So be prepared. I park about 2 blocks away and very close to my freeway, $10. The Staples Center seats are very high up in the colonnade section, cheaper seats. Can be scary up there. I go there a lot but not happy with the place. Food is very expensive too.

Where are the ushers? We went to the Lakers vs Warriors game on 3/6 but our view of the game was consistently obstructed by people walking into our section for photo opts. This happened throughout the game, even up to the last minute. I think the Lakers won but not sure since I couldn’t see the court. This is the only venue I’ve been at that didn’t have ushers and security who prevented this from happening.

Great venue in a cool precinct. Queue's for food/drinks moved quickly and no a bad seat in the house

First row excellent location, the service was only for finger food but no beer or liquors only for the row around the courts. Opening and game it was a lifetime experience, sounds, lights and a lot if excitement.

My Husband and I visited here whilst on vacation to see both the Kings and Clippers. Arena is huge, ample parking lots near to venue, prices are reasonable (for arena's). The venue was clean, loads of helpful staff around and well laid out. Definitely worth going if there's something you like on.

If you are have the chance of going to a Lakers game you should definitely do
It! It’s an amazing experience! Download the app Lakers and purchase your tickets in advance, prices vary!
You may want to book your parking space in advance for 30 dollars approximately if you take your car. We got a great place in a parking lot for just 10 dollars! Very close to Staples centre.

Hope this helps guys! Have a great time!

Really an incredible experience. You will be a few meters away from the players and living that atmosphere is great.

When you buy the tickets you will want to save and buy the cheapest, but do not skimp, you will not regret, just buy where you like.

Popcorn and soft drinks in staples glass are refill the times you want.

106, 107, 115 and 116 this areas area cheap and with a very good view.

I will return at least twice a year to Staples.

This review is about ice hockey match (Los Angeles Kings-Philadelpia Flyers 2:5) in Staples Arena. We were in LA as a parto of our Califonia trip. We were lucky to buy tickets right at the spot. We came to the Center by a walk as we lived just couple blocks from the Center. On our way we liked LA live vcity vibes. Entrance and security check were fast. We tried overpriced snack ( nachos). We bought LA cap in the souvenir shop, to have some memories at home. What we really enjoyed was pre game light show including programme at the cube. Although seated nearly under the roof, we had good visibility. The match we OK, we were mainly focused on the 2 Czech players Voracek and Gudas. We also appreciated friendly atmosphere among fans of both teams. Visiting NHL match in Staples was a lifetime experience for us and we fully recommend it.

Watched MonsterJam there. Highly recommend watching in person to hear the raveling of the engines.

The Weston family son did 4 cross jumps with his monster jammer, absolutely stunning how those jumps are possible. His steady performance earned him an all-round champion.

The lady Blood made a brave 365 flip in her monster jammer. Absolutely breathtaking. She failed on her second attempt of other tricks. However, she was awarded with her courage and took away home the champion.

Stadium has a self help shop. You tap your credit card to enter, then the cameras follow you around to charge whatever you picked off the shelf. You simply walk out once finished picking items off the shelf. Feeling a bit weird that every move is videod and tapped. Not sure it’s worth the experience. Nothing has price tag in the shop, so a blind date type of shopping of go with your heart of whatever you like and it’s priceless

I went there for a hockey game and basketball game. A lot of fun. I really recommend it if you like sports. The stadiums is easy to access and very convenient to walk around.

Went to a Kings game and the experience was good. Love the outside grounds with all of the various athlete statues. Inside the view had no obstructions and seating seemed larger than most places. Cost for food and drinks are typical arena prices and there were a lot of choices. Parking is a bit of challenge if you are not familiar with the area.

We were there when the Golden State Warriors beat the LA Clippers, what a game! And the show was great. A unique (and pricey) experience.

Me and my friend were here 2 times during our LA trip, once in Kings game and other time at Clippers game, both were almost fully booked and really good atmosphere. Both home teams won, so after game people were really happy and celebrating.

We saw a boxing match here, was clean and comfortable i felt secure and safe in such a large venue, although walking around late at night is not recommended and watch out for the scammers outside with their sob stories about children then asking you for money

This is a very nice arena to go to for a game. Very organized int he entry and exit and there were no long lines.

The Staples Center is nice. Right in downtown Los Angeles
The game experience is also good as well for Lakers fans.

The stadium is a bit stale but the history begs a visit. Went to a Lakers game and it is very organised for entry and exit but not as historic as say a Yankee Stadium or Madison Square Garden in regards to memorabilia around the concourses

I enjoyed watching a Lakers game. The sight lines and acoustics were good but the seats were cozy - I was very thankful the lady beside me cuddled up against her boyfriend so I didn't have to hunch my shoulders.

The facility itself was well maintained and the people flow was good. I interacted with a couple of staff and both were pleasant and professional. The area outside was much more spacious and clean than I expected.

Watched an ice hockey game here. Fantastic set up. Food and drink options were so cool. Easy to be seated and easy to exit.

Went to the KISS concert at the Staples Center and it could not have been easier to get in and out of the stadium or find our seats. Both the concert and the venue was a great experience.

went to see the Lakers live and I have to say that it didn’t dissappoint. the entrance was amazing showing off statues of LA greats in sports. the LA store was full of merchandise that was full of fans wanting to get sports items. we got food outside before we went to our seats in section 114. the game was truly amazing and I would prefered that the Lakers win but it was indded a great show

Enjoyed a first-time experience at Staples Center watching the Lakers win a good contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Terrific venue for entertainment with the court visible from all angles. Loud, packed full of small eateries and Laker merchandise shops, Staples Center gave us a great taste of the entertainment basketball can offer. If you’re travelling by the metro system, the nearest stop to the venue is Pico.

TERRIFIC Venue for Laker Games🏀, Kings Hockey &
Concerts! Everyone is VERY helpful & traffic is funneled smoothly ! I haven’t been here since it was the Staples Center… but I LOVE the flooring for Laker games & special effects for concerts ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻😘

We got to see a Lakers game on our last visit to Los Angeles. We love the Staples Center and the surrounding area. Fantastic!

On our trip to LA, we watched the Lakers take on the Pelicans and the ball was great, it was a treat to see both LeBron and Anthony Davis on the court, especially amid trade rumors over Davis and in a game that mattered to the Lakers. Entertaining basketball and truly fun to see the home team earn the win! The venue left much to be desired. No doubt, we didn’t splurge and bought tickets in one of the nose bleed sections, but everything was a bit of a struggle. The escalators were broken, they wouldn’t let people even walk up them, so an epic line built for an elevator. Concessions were a challenge - staff wasn’t well trained and struggled with credit card transactions. We got stuck in sluggish lines a few times. Seating was terrible. I’m sure I could use a diet, but have attended lots of games and these were tightest seats I’ve ever been to in all of professional sports. So, we found the atmosphere just a little inhospitable. I thought the challenging environment impacted fan spontaneity as it was difficult for fans to interact with one and other in such cramped quarters. There was little about the venue that was noteworthy, unique or special. We had much more fun taking in a college game at the super friendly, clean and comfortable Pauley Pavilion at UCLA.

When do the Kings hockey game was awesome, our seat in PR 12 needs to be flagged as a obstructed view. That part was disappointing. Lots of technology in the scoreboard area area around the park. Extremely busy so if you want dinner before budget enough time, an hour and a half was not enough for us to get a seat. Some of the side parking lots right about 20 bucks the main ones go 60 to 70 so if you’re up to five minute walk drive around the arena.

You'd think that being in the second largest media area in the US, there would be a much better venue for that which Staples Center serves!

it is good. and very comfortable. i like it i am very choosy about product. material is good and easy to wash and wear and good

Watched the clippers and the lakers here. 10/10 would coe back again.
Bring credit card/apple pay since they dont accept cash

During the pandemic a lot of places were closed but we still was able to sneak a peek! Our hotel actually over looked the top of the staples center.

I have been to basketball games here and lots of concerts...always allways fun and good seating and great parking...lost of restaurants right there to eat before or after...

I like Crypto.com Arena (formerly called the Staples Center) very much, except for one thing: The staff does a LOUSY job of keeping soap in the restrooms!! Do you know what it is like to use the toilet (#2) and NOT have any soap to wash your hands with? It is GROSS, DISGUSTING, and TOTALLY INEXCUSABLE, especially when the dispensers are empty BEFORE the event has even STARTED!!!! This has happened to me on several visits to this venue. I understand that running a large arena like this can be very complicated, but providing soap in the restrooms to patrons--especially in these times of COVID--really should not be that difficult.

No chance this time to watch the game. passing the card, Magic ~ Abdul-Jabbar ~ Kobe. Lots of good memories at this fantastic venue.

STAPLES Centre is the home of the NBA Lakers and Clippers teams as well as the NHL Kings. Worth a quick stop, but not that much to see if you aren't going inside, other than a collection of bronzes featuring stars from Basketball, Hockey, and Boxing.

I hadn’t been to a pro basketball game for decades. Maybe they’re all this way now but there was far more non-game glitz and fun at the Lakers’ game I saw than there was when I last saw the Knicks play in Madison Square Garden. And LeBron James, wow! Worth the price of admission just to see him play.

The Staples Center was easy to find in the city. And the place is clean, well-managed, and staff were nice.

Before going to Staples to see a concert you have to purchase through AXS, a horrid ticket agency that will treat you terribly. So, now you have your tickets and you get to go through bad traffic to get to Downtown LA.

Once there, you will pay between $30 and $50 just to park. They make a lot of money that way. Now that you have parked and walked and walked to get to the venue, if you want any snacks or anything, I hope you brought a lot of money. Everything is over priced and none of it is good.

You will then get to your expensive seats only to find that the first 10 rows are great and the rest of the place has bad views.

Good luck.

Fantastic venue and if anyone is visiting their favourite artists from the UK, my wife and I thought this was better than the o2 in London!!!

KISS were brilliant and they put on such a great show.

Would highly recommend it!

My wife and I had a great time here. I’ve never been in an arena so big. The statues out front were pretty cool. We sat in the 300 level and the seats were comfortable.

Even during a rebuild, the Los Angeles Kings and team put on a great show at Staples Center. Kudos for going the extra mile to protect guests during the Pandemic, but I'm still never going to call you crypto.com arena.

Went to a concert at the Staples Centre and the whole experience was great. A very easy place to reach with plenty of parking nearby. Lots of restaurants and bars around the centre too. Staff were very helpful and the large crowds moved quickly through the venue. All in all a well oiled machine.

Visited centre , found out there is name change, no more known as Staples Centre, Buisess reason I suppose

Lakers vs clippers. It’s a great night and the clippers really came to play. The staples Centre is easy to get to, a short train from Hollywood.

I've been to Crypto.com Arena several times over the past year, but my most recent visit was definitely the most emotional. As a huge Dallas Mavericks fan, I never imagined I’d be watching Luka Dončić’s debut with the Lakers a trade that shocked the entire basketball world and will likely go down as one of the worst in history.

That said, attending this game was a must-see experience. From the moment I walked in, I could feel the excitement in the air. Every seat had a free Luka Lakers t-shirt, and people were grabbing extras from empty chairs. The crowd went absolutely crazy when Luka stepped on the court, and despite my heartbreak, I couldn't deny how surreal it was to see him alongside LeBron James.

Arena Atmosphere & Experience

Crypto.com Arena is an amazing place to watch a game whether you're with family, a partner, or going solo. The energy is electric. Every time LeBron touches the ball or the Lakers score, the crowd erupts. I’ve brought my kids (ages 4, 6, and 8) before, and they absolutely love it.

No matter where you sit, the experience is worth it. Of course, closer seats are better, but even the higher sections still offer a great view and atmosphere. Just be prepared—food inside is pricey and honestly not that great. If you’re going, I’d recommend eating beforehand.

Parking & Surroundings

I would not park directly at the arena it’s expensive. Instead, you can find parking around the arena for $20–$25, just a short 5-minute walk away. The walk itself is fun, as you’ll be surrounded by fellow fans, passing by shops, street vendors, and even people selling Lakers merchandise (most likely knockoffs, but you can snag a jersey for $40–$50).

Game Experience

The game itself was pretty one-sided, with the Lakers blowing out the Utah Jazz. At one point, they were up by 30 points, so it wasn’t the most thrilling matchup. But still, seeing Austin Reaves ball out was fun this guy has been on fire this season!

Even with the game being a blowout, Lakers games are always entertaining. The team is in great shape right now, and I’d say any game you attend will be a fun experience.

Comparison to Other Arenas

I’ve been to Chase Center for a Warriors game, and while it’s a nice arena, it’s way more expensive I paid $80 for parking alone! In my opinion, Crypto.com Arena has a better vibe. I’ve also been to a Clippers game, and even with their new arena, the experience just isn’t the same. Lakers games have a unique energy and atmosphere that’s hard to describe—there’s just something special about them.

Final Thoughts

Even though this was a bittersweet experience as a Mavericks fan, I still highly recommend attending a Lakers game at Crypto.com Arena. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just looking for a fun night out, it's an unforgettable experience.

If you're planning to go:

Eat before the game (food inside is overpriced and not good).

Park nearby ($20–$25) instead of using the arena lot.

Be ready for an electric atmosphere Lakers fans bring the energy!

Despite my heartbreak over Luka joining the Lakers, I can’t deny it was a historic night one I’ll never forget.

Would I go back? Absolutely. Just maybe not when the Lakers are playing the Mavs… too painful!

Rating: (5/5 - Must Visit for Basketball Fans!)

We took two young girls 11 & 6 to last week's Las Vegas Golden Knights vs L.A. Kings pre-season game. It was a wonderful experience benefitting from ease of finding the arena, friendly arena and team staff, and tasty food. The usher sat us in the wrong section and we only did the $30 parking at L.A. Live because our game tickets were free, but otherwise the night was a success. The highlight as always was the incredible, exciting, fast-moving sport of hockey that we got to watch. Arrive early to fist-bump the players during the pre-game warm-up!!

There was an event the afternoon we went to visit and we were preventing from getting closer than about a block without a ticket. We had to settle for a photo from a distance.

L.A. Kings vs. Detroit Redwings, January 2018
Fun experience! Plenty of parking around the venue.
Great security, felt safe.

Great venue great experience and great game. Bit pricey for refreshments but that's standard at Us games. Nice comfy seats

a great place to watch a basket ball game, always fun and not too complicated to get in and out of, fast food available all over staples center.

Visiting from Australia this was one of the highlights of our trip as we had the opportunity to watch the Lakers v San Antonio Spurs. What an incredible night we had. The stadium is truly an experience: from our fabulous seats, the entertainment, the atmosphere, the freebies being handed out to create noise and of course the game itself was brilliant. The Lakers came away with a win in the dying moments of the game which made it even more exciting. Our kids even got on the Jumbotron so that made their night!
The only thing that surprised us was in Sydney we can watch a NBL game for $19 a ticket but here it cost us $1265 for 4 tickets! Admittedly we could have bought tickets in the very back row for around $75 each but as this was a once in a lifetime experience we wanted to be close enough to feel part of the action. We were probably in the middle of Section 106 with a brilliant view. Expensive yes, worth it - definitely!

I have been lucky enough to visit the Staples Center for so many different reasons. Lakers games, Clippers Games, Kings Games, Music Concerts (Timberlake) and more! The venue is huge, clean and bumping sound. The women always dress nice here lol even just for a Lakers game which is funny but all apart of the benefits at Staples. Of course I wish the beers were cheaper but we can't have it all right? If you haven't been here yet for an event I highly recommend you get to a Lakers game quick!

what an exciting place, i was so lucky to be able to go to Staples Center, met the nicest people there. Very enjoyable place! Wish I was there for an actual game but still had fun visiting anyway:)

This is a really huge center, and conveniently located in downtown. It's not hard to get around, and worth checking out

We went to a Kings game vs Arizona. Game was ok, but this arena has an AWESOME light/effects show prior to the game, don't miss this part. There is an outdoor balcony bar area too and an ice rink across the street where people were skating...very cool.

Wow! What can I say? 1st time at the Staples Centre and 1st NBA game watching the Lakers take on the Timberwolves. We bought suite tickets and it was the best decision we made. The view was amazing and the suite itself was very spacious, clean and the toilets were located right outside

I've watched Cleveland x Lakers, on the first Lebron x Kobe Bryant ever. It's an experience I will never forget. Absolutely nothing to complain about Staples, everything worked out just fine!

I attended the Lakers and Golden State game. The arena was nice, the event was very organized for there being 18,000 people in attendance, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I also loved the statues of the legends outfront. It was beautiful. I wish there was one of Kobe Bryant.

I saw WWE Survivor Series 2018 here and RAW and SMACKDOWN over 3 days! First ever live WWE PPV! And upgraded seats for RAW and SMACKDOWN!

Very organized, very clean even the bathroom is clean. Its a wonderful site for everyone . Excellent restaurant and pubs outside close to the Staples. Iwill back again and again

My daughters and I really enjoyed our first time to the Staples Center. Everyone was nice, the building was beautiful, our seats were closer than I thought and I really felt safe there.

Cost me a small fortune purchasing seats off a second hand retailer, but bought premium seats and had a blast (even though it was a blow out). Got served food at our seats, and it was awest. Recommend highly!

Visiting Staples and Lakers itself is the thing after watching NBA only on TV for more than two decades. Expensive ticket, food and beverage as expected, but you may skip all these and try those hit-and-run hotdog trolleys after the match. Traffic long after the match. It took me, as a non-driving tourist, some 20 minutes to catch a Lyft ride.

Have visited this stadium on 3 separate trips, and always have a great time. make sure to go a couple hours earlyto enjoy L.A. Live. So much to do!

Since Crypto.com took over this place is going downhill. I go to basketball games mainly. They let people vape in here, and there are no longer ushers in every section. For clippers games 2022-2023 season they now shine bright LED lights into the 300 level sections. So the whole game we had lights in our face and it hurt to try to see the court. It's like 10x brighter than Lakers games, maybe more.

The staples center is a very famous stadium known all around the world, it´s the official stadium for both teams in The National Basketball League(NBA) which are The Los Angeles Lakers and The Los Angeles Clippers, in my trip to La i went with my dad to watch a game between the clippers against the Dallas Mavericks, it was a very amazing experience that i will never forget, we ate a lot of food we socialize with the other fans sitting next to us and the thing that amaze me was the fact the we speak in spanish with them, it was also great because we were able to watch one of the greatest player of all time and best big man shooter of all time it´s Dirk Nowitzki, we have a lot of fun watching this game and we expend time together, and it was more exciting because we were suposed to watch the game 7 of the World series of 2017, because we went with other friends to watch the game 6 and we also wanted to watched game 7, but the tickets were very expensive so my dad and i went from dodger stadium to Staples Center and it was very exciting, this experience is unforgettable to me and i will keep it in my mind for the rest of my life.

Attended a recent Lakers game and was impressed with the arena and the area adjacent to it. Pregame activities were numerous and fun. The arena itself was very nice - we had seats in the "Premium 9" section and were very impressed with the amenities at that level of the arena. Very easy to park pregame and easy in and out of the arena as well. Highly recommend.

Huge indoor arena not conducive for watching hockey as seats are on a low slope. It is also dimly lit in playing area and hallways and stairwells ( that are also in disrepair). Concessions are short-staffed but food is good( if you can wait). Wetzels pretzels fantastic. Adjacent “LA Live” always provides good
Entertainment, food and people-watching!

Attended Clippers v Bucks & Lakers v Hawks. Brilliant views from sections PR5 & 303. Wonderful atmosphere & entertainment throughout the games. A must visit for all sports fans.

Because LAL stadium is more than a NBA place, is part of the history of this big city and California itself. It`s also magic because it was the house of Magic Johnson; or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Byron Scott, Orlando Woolridge, Worthy, ... and more and more. If you are in LA, do not forget visiting this legend place and take outdoors photos with these monsters. Interesting area also for dinner or have a drink.

Our visit to the Staples Center coincided with an NBA match between the LA Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies. Just great. Show, spectacle and sports. Great to see LeBron James and Anthony Davis play.

Service good, food poor and extremely overpriced in suites. No real choices for healthy food. They need complete redo of offerings and pricing. Same for suite level bar access. Overwhelming demand, few bartenders.

We were very excited to get tickets to see Faith Hill & Tim McGraw. We are long-time fans of both country artists.

This concert was at the Los Angeles Staples Center. The entire venue is known as L.A. Live! There’s plenty of restaurants and nightclubs and lots of people. Be prepared for large crowds and long lines everywhere.

In spite of the great talent of both Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, this was by far the WORST large-venue concert we have ever attended. The overall show was a stunning spectacle. The lighting, visual presentation, and staging was all beyond imagination.

What made the concert so bad was the sound. I don’t know if Staples Center provides the sound technicians, or if the performers bring their own. Either way, the sound was so loud and distorted that no one could actually understand any of the words. In particular, the electric bass and the bass drum was so distorted that the seats were actually rattling.

I have a decibel meter on my cell phone. It registered sustained sounds around 110 dB, and peaks at 120 dB. If this had been a rock concert instead of a country concert, I might have been expecting that kind of volume.

The only explanations that I can think of are that the sound technicians were incompetent or poorly trained in sound presentation, or that the sound was PURPOSEFULLY set so loud as to cover up the vocals.

Unacceptable in any case. One can only hope that McGraw & Hill were unaware of how bad the sound was from the audience point of view. It’s entirely possible that their own in-ear monitors had sound that was ok.

I wouldn’t like to have been some of the band members. There was really no reason to have a fiddle player on the stage other than for looks. Except for one brief solo, he couldn’t be heard at all.

By coincidence, we are returning to the Staples Center in two weeks for a Shania Twain concert, so we’ll get a 2nd chance to see if the sound is again so loud and distorted.

Also, one note about parking. The parking garage has a built-in bottleneck upon exiting. The signal at the street level only lets out a few cars each cycle. We paid the “full rate” for parking - $30 flat fee. After waiting in line almost 45 minutes to exit, the automated system tried to charge us an additional $10 because we didn’t exit quickly enough.

Lesson learned - next time we’ll park in one of the off-site outside parking lots for the same $30.

I saw both an NBA as well as an NHL game played here. Clippers vs cavs amd kings vs caps both great games and i was lucky enough to get premium seats. Cant wait to go back.

One of the best stadiums I’ve been to. Went to watch the Clippers and the Lakers and throughly enjoyed both. Can’t really get s bad seat so don’t be upset if you have to sit up the back. Plenty of places to get food and drink as well as stock up on some merch. Even if you’re not the biggest sports fan you’ll still have a great time.

Came here for a preseason game so place was less than half full, but as venues go, this place would be dynamite for hockey. Hope to return for a regular season game! Close to subway on purple line

Staples center is the epic spot to catch a NBA basketball game and enjoy onsite restaurants and other surrounding events. Never know who you'll run into at the Staples Center!

I love the outside of Staples Center (LA Live). It’s light up with really neat flashing signs and news crews ... similar to a mini Time Square. But you feel safe packed in with all these rowdy people at night before and after a game. It’s a really fun atmosphere. The entry area is extremely efficient, possibly the best.... right up there with the AAC in Dallas. They scan you, scan your phone and you’re in. And unlike other arenas there’s no yelling. I LOVE THAT! Food was great. Everything was easy to understand, direction-wise. Some of the fans were completely drunk and disorderly and swearing. They put a damper on our whole rows experience. I was surprised that they continued to be served? Aside from that Staples Center is amazing.

Great for sports basketball Lakers clippers basketball and kings hockey games i have however heard concerts there for anything other than rock can be bad
Loud sound can make other gaffes distorted

Went to see LA KINGS ice hockey. Never been to ice hockey match before but it was really great. Take a warm jacket as very chilly.

We came from the UK to LA. Always heard about Lakers, so went on stubhub to book a ticket. We went Staples Centre to watch LA Lakers v Oklahoma City Thunders. This was the best sporting experience ever....wanted to go to every lakers match afterwards.
Atmosphere was phenomenal staff were great. Security was present and I felt safe. Lakers won so was a bonus to the experience.
We had seats far up from the ground but this did not effect our experience. Fans were amazing.

I loved this experience. Thank you Lakers!

We attended a Lakers game and the venue is sensational, well set up for big crowds, holds around 20, 000 and plenty of food drink options and merchandise providers. Easy in and out through security and all seats get a good view, so don’t worry if you are buying the lower priced seats.(which are still not cheap)

Been here for several games of basketball and the venue is awesome and the venue staff very friendly and helpful.

We went for a Clippers game is was so much fun! Stadium is packed and full of energy, its an amazing experience. Clippers games also work out to be much cheaper than Lakers tickets.

Went there for Kcon LA for the fourth time and I love this venue. It's so big and has a nice view everywhere. The eating options, while expensive, are varied. I love this venue a lot.

Went for the Khalid concert and had a blast! Our seats were excellent and the drinks were excellent too. Would recommend Ubering to avoid the parking situation.

I have been to the Staple center from everything to Concerts to X-Games. This is truly the best place to see a concert. The parking is easy, the food is good & the sound quality is amazing. I average 3 concerts or more a year at this location. I started taking my child there was they where 5 & it was amazing.

Came here for an NHL game end of November. LA Live Area outside the arena was busy and a great place to gather before the game. Lots of dining and entertainment options all around. Game at Staples Center are something else! Production far exceeds what I have seen in Canadian arenas, but being LA you would expect this. Spacious concourses with great food and beverage options throughout. Cheaper prices than Honda Center as well. Would definitely attend again when in the LA area

Went to Kings vs Flyers on New Years Eve. Great night. The pyro & laser light show after the game was fantastic. Well done Staples Centre. A great way to see in the new year!

Great arena to watch basketball - and as a bonus Lakers won! Had access to the AmEx Centurion Lounge that was cool - 2 free drinks and somewhere to relax before the game. Would love to return next time we are in LA

Went here for an L.A. King's game and was surprised at how cool the downtown L.A. area is. There was an outdoor ice rink, street car racing, outdoor food vendors, and an amazing downtown area. Parking was right across the street for $30 and it was easy to get out after the game.

Well worth every minute loved the experience of being at staples centre the game was amazing tick off bucketlist

Worth a look to see where the action is downtown! Great if you have an interest in the events held there certainly for basketball!

The event I attended was a college basketball tournament sponsored by the Air Force Reserve. I had not ever been to Staples Center before and I really didn’t know what to expect. Now, it wasn’t a huge event and not extremely well attended save for the die-hard fans of each college in the tournament but from an operational standpoint, it was a wonderful visit. There were ushers to assist every step of the way, the food venue I chose to buy food (Spotlight Grill) at was fully staffed and the food was very tasty, and the food was good. I am sure when there is a concert or sporting event that packs the house, the staff is going full-tilt. I was not disappointed in the least. Well done!

A show at the Staples center is worth seeing at least once in your life. Listen to the United States anthem live, eat some delicious tacos and share in the American way of life.

Always wanted to see Lakers game, now with LeBron it was high on list. Found it all pretty straightforward. Parkin and access was easy and great restaurants etc around it. The Stadium was great for viewing and accesd.

Attended the Lakers versus Bulls game last week. Staples Center was packed - but no Lebron due to injury.
The quality of the game wasn't the best - as neither team played that well - but enjoyed the venue.
Prices for tickets are cheaper when the Clippers play in the same arena - so Lebron has been good to the ticket sellers.
Many drink options and food options to please anyone's taste.

We went to a game at the Staples center for the New Year. The seats at the Staple center are comfortable and there are a number of eateries inside the arena and around the arena. I had a problem getting my tickets to show up on my phone but I was able to get in using my credit card. The center is close to transportation. Only a few block from the metro. Uber and Lyft stops within steps of the arena. Great location.

Attending a LA Lakers game at the Crypto.com Arena was an exciting and memorable experience. The venue itself is modern, clean, and well-designed, with comfortable seating and great visibility from nearly every angle.

The energy inside the arena was incredible—fans were enthusiastic, and the atmosphere was electric from start to finish. It was easy to find our seats, and the staff was helpful and professional throughout the evening.

Everything was well-organized, even during busy moments. Watching the Lakers play live, surrounded by such a passionate crowd, really added to the thrill. The light shows, music, and in-game entertainment were an extra bonus that made the whole night even more enjoyable.

Overall, it was a fantastic way to experience basketball and one of LA’s most iconic teams.

We went when visiting LA for a holiday we bought last minute tickets it was the most amazing experience being with all the fans and watching a basketball game. Food wasn't too badly priced great atmosphere !

I made an appointment to have a tattoo done for a specific date, I called back to move the date so I would be able to have the tattoo artist of my choice after reviewing their IG accounts. A woman answered and sounded very confused then she handed the phone to a gentlemen who confirmed that my appointment was moved to the date I requested. I got there early to ensure I respect their time to find out that the "manager" said he did not have me down for that day?? He begin to give me reasons why it could have been a mix up by telling me that have several phones that employees use and they may have not got the info right? I informed him that I spoke to someone at that location, I even confirmed it with the gentlemen that I spoke with. I took a day off to get this done and it was a waste of my time. The "manager had a I don't give a sh#*attitude. I asked for a credit. The company proceeded to text me that they were the largest tattoo company in the world, why? i guess to brag and not take serious a "nobody's" time. Don't waste your time for a unorganized and unprofessional " tattoo shop"

Awesome time, parking was easy, and staff was friendly. Front row seats is a must have. The lines can be long so come early

During a visit to LA in the regular season, a trip to see an NBA game was a must. We were really fortunate that the Lakers were home during the week we were there, so booked 4 seats for our family. We knew we would be high, but did not really appreciate the steepness of the rake of the top tier seats. Seats are pricey so we booked the row offered by the website.

When we arrived and sat in our seats, some of the family really felt very uneasy sat at the top of the seats. I went to customer services and asked if there was any way they could assist and they were really accommodating and managed to re-seat two of us to lower seats. This was all that was needed and we had an amazing evening watching the game. Unfortunately the Lakers lost that night but it was still a great evening.

Great thanks to the staff who helped with the seat changes, it really made the evening.

State of the art facility for basketball. We went to a Lakers versus Clippers game and had a blast. The statues out front are amazing - great photo spots. But like everything in LA - things were a tad expensive.

This venue is great for concerts. I enjoyed my time here. Stayed at the e-central hotel and it was neat not to have to drive after the concert. The light automation setup was cool.

Definitely worth visiting, a lot of places to eat and see after. Great atmosphere, specially when a game is on.

This concert, on July 21, 2018, was ruined by a horrible sound set-up. The sound was screechy and distorted, you could not understand any of the lyrics. Our ears hurt after 20 minutes. We left after 45 minutes. Not really the headliners fault, it’s Staples. We attended an Adele concert there and the sound was great, so we know they can get it right. But they ruined this concert for us. Shame on them.

Finally watched my first NBA game live! It was the Clippers against the Jazz! Clippers won.Went with my High-School Buddy and his cousin.Had drinks too during the game. Bug arena, vibe was fun.Got lost looking for the car after though,so better take pictures where you park!

I am not a basketball fan but my son is. He really enjoyed for the first time to be at Staples. I t was an experience I will never forget. I love it. See it.

This 20 year old arena is still today in mint condition. Everything worked, including easy parking with 20$ fee. Great views all around the arena. We watched a hockey game from premier seats just in line with the center line - hard to imagine better seats. Fast and friendly service even during hectic breaks. Really good sound system. Good crowd and atmosphere. No massive lines to restrooms. Simply a great arena!

I saw Tool at the Staples Center on October 21, had a great time. Lots of places inside to get food and drink, easy parking in a lot across the street.

Went here decked out in our Canucks jerseys for a Canucks vs Kings game. Everyone was super friendly, even when we were teasing each other. Pregame there was a beer garden with a few contests. Inside there was an issue with us buying beer as our Canadian ID & Passports were not "valid" until we pointed out to the staff how to read them, then a supervisor just got annoyed and gave us the beer. Our seats were in the nose bleeds and the seats are super steep so the more you drink, the more precarious that gets! Couple surprising things - 1. we were rocking the classic (1990s) Canucks jersey's and even got a few compliments from locals that knew what it was 2. the give away was for a trip to Alberta. BC has nothing to do with Alberta...

Whether it's a Lakers game, a music concert, or the US Figure skating finals - this is a great venue, with lots of restaurants & downtown LA at it's doorstep.

Always a fan of basketball and seeing my fav team play here is just amazing. Had a great time and the whole vibe was great.

I love the Staples Center! We come once a year to watch the lakers play and would absolutely keep up this tradition. Staples Center has an awesome energy about it and great staff to keep everything orderly!

Loved the lakers game. Seats are a bit too close together for those of us who are 6 feet or more.
Fun area ("LA LIVE") with good assortment of surrounding restaurants.

Great Center and best surrounded area for walking and taking pictures, there many attractions arounds and number of statues for legendary players i took a pictures with Jordan and Karim Abdul Jabar

We watched a Clippers preseason match. That was a wonderful time for us.

Luckily we got seats in Row 1 of Lower Center with a very low price probably because it was a preseason match and we bought them very early. The experience near the court was really exciting. We got a close look at Clippers players on the seats as well as the thrilling game.

By the way, Row 1 of Lower Center doesn't mean the first row. There are three rows in the court side area. The first row is for players and staff. The second and third are for fans. Of course, they are very expensive.

Let me share a note with you about their bag restriction.

They have their own bag restriction policy. You can't get into the center with your backpack.

So we booked a bag drop-off service near it. However, when we get there, to my surprise, they said they couldn't have my bag because of their overbooking.

Then, we went to the center with a lost face, and asked staff whether they have any solutions. They had it! If you get a X-ray check, you can enter it with your backpack. As far as I know, they don't have any guides about that. So please talk to staff in front of the entrance.

We pre booked the game and we’re not sure what to expect. We drove to the venue and did not have problems with parking (but it was during Thanksgiving holiday). The organisation was great and the venues facilities were overall good. Would definitely visit it again when in LA.

We were in LA to attend a Lakers game. Parking was a breeze. There’s a parking garage directly across the street. Parking the night we attended was only $10. Very easy to get in & out of the Staples Center. Security lines moved quickly and the staff that we encountered were helpful.

The Staokes Center is a massive arena that can hold over 18000people, and it's home to several professional sports teams, including the Lakers, Clippers, and Kings. The atmosphere inside the arena was electric, with fans cheering and chanting throughout the game.
As for the game itself, it was exhilarating to watch two of the best teams in the NBA face off against each other. The players were incredibly skilled, executing impressive moves and scoring baskets left an right. It was definitely one of the most exciting sporting events I've ever attended.
Overall, I absolutely loved the Staples Center. The energy in the arena was contagious, and being surrounded by so many passionate sports fans was an amazing experience. I would love to go back someday and watch another game there

Great place to experience as it's such a notable venue in L.A. Plenty of parking nearby, but the closer you get to the stadium, the more expensive parking. You can easily find a cheap, $10 spot a couple blocks down the road. The metro blue line also gets off quite near the place. Of course, expect to pay inflated prices inside the stadium as well! Have fun!

Travelled to So Cal to watch a few hockey game in late November. Caught the Kraken/Kings game here. This arena is so big that it's a bit overwhelming. It's gigantic. Nonetheless parking was easy (though it's about a 10 minute walk from the arena), there was a lot of room, and it was easy to get around. Fans were great and we had a good time. Would like to come back someday.

Dream come true. Lakers home game. W on a Sunday afternoon. Loved the fans and the atmosphere. I had so much fun! Will come back

Managed to get tickets for the game after the Kobe Bryant statue was unveiled.

Easy parking in the lot next to the arena.Book your place ahead online. Be careful You don’t miss the entrance and have to drive round the block & freeway again.

Wow! What an arena with such an atmosphere. Always a pleasure to be here and enjoying primetime hockey in LA watching the best team there is.

This was my first Basketball game I have ever seen live. We were able to find our seats without any issues. My son couldn't believe how awesome the view from our seats (we were in row 17 at the center line)

Always a pleasure to walk around and go to a game. This indoor stadium is amazing. I never saw something like this in Europe before. The status of famous players outside are perfect too. You should go to a Hockey game and basketball game. It is so fun. They know how to make it intense and interesting. It is a show!!!

This arena is just unbelievable with great acoustics for music, comfortable seats with a adjoining convention center for after party. Hotels were beautiful with whole entertainment complex full of excitement until passing of Kobe Bryant on the morning of the show!

Look no further to do a once in a lifetime engagement proposal in a very iconic location. I had many choices but the one location that will always be remembered and historic moments without a doubt would be STAPLES CENTER in a Los Angeles Kings game! The staff was very attentive and provided all the support to make this day memorable. Without a doubt it is a great location that we can always come back and enjoy anytime of event and look back at one of the best days in our lives.

We had a brilliant time hare
Staff are friendly and stadium is large
Just remember is you are heading to an event arrive early and no large bags or backpacks allowed
Plenty of places to grab food inside and there is lift access if you need it

Had a great time with the family. Staple Center was a awesome venue in which to see it. Loved it now I want to go to a game there. So we will be going again.

Wow what a fantastic venue. I went to see both the nba and nhl here and have nothing but great things to say. Had some pretty good seats and i saw some good games. Will be back to watch more sports at the staples centre no doubt!

While visiting Los Angeles, I was able to get really cheap tickets to a hockey game. I always wanted to visit this well-known venue and thoroughly enjoyed while I was in there! While I wanted to tour the building without any event going on, unfortunately, Staples Center does not provider tours (like Dolby Theatre, etc. provide) but I did not mind the hockey game!

Pay, pay, pay, for good seats. Otherwise NOT recommended! Food inside overpriced. Outside vendors charge an arm and a leg too. Parking 20 bucks, yahooooo. it must be LA. meutermedia

Always love seeing an event at this Stadium. Great seats, great food options and easy parking.Lucky enough to see a Lakers game and we are always impressed when we visit.

If you are a Los Angeles sports fan it is definitely worth checking out the Staples Center if you are staying downtown. Lots of statutes of LA sports icons.

We Went to the PBR bull riding. It was very secure and we had a fun time. They had things blocked off and we didn't even see the PETA protestors. Very easy to find our seats too.

The two young men at section 111 during Laufey’s LA night one were absolutely terrible. They talked the entire show, laughing and cussing loudly to the point where people were shushing them, and parents were upset. I couldn’t even take a video of the performance without them talking in the background of it. Terrible staffing. The show itself was incredible just wish I could have enjoyed it more. Do better Crypto

Modern, large construction surrounded by tasteless sculptures, some hypercaloric restaurants, and some cheap shopping. The place is well-kept. It is a safe place.

nice hockey party out front, with the fake snow, went to the game, food was super overpriced and not good

Crypto.com Arena is a mouthful. I mean I still refer to it as the Staples Center and may forever do so. However, this past Friday was the first time I'd attended a Lakers game at the newly minted arena. My fiancé is from New Orleans so it was a birthday treat for him to watch the Pelicans beat the Lakers. It was a close game and had the Lakers scored a last 3-pointer, it would have gone into OT.

If you had tickets to the game, you get a slew of emails reminding you what is allowed and not allowed inside the arena. While I got the memo about small purses and clutches being okay, I saw people inside the arena with backpacks, fanny packs, and other large items which I believe were on the no-fly list. I guess they got away with it anyway? Last Friday was also the first time they had lifted the COVID checks and mask mandates inside the arena. While I'm fully vaccinated, I hope my fellow attendees were too. We are still in a pandemic after all.

Checking into the game was super easy, we just scanned our phones and security checked my bag prior to entry. While it seemed chaotic, the line moved fairly quickly. Food and drinks inside the arena are fairly expensive but that didn't stop people from partaking in $7 hotdogs, $14 beers, and $6 bottled water. Bathrooms can be found on every level and it was easy to maneuver once inside as all sections are labeled.

We exited our seats at the final buzzer and found the nearest stairwell to the street level. It was easy to exit and you'll see $5 street dog vendors on every corner. It was easy to get outside but pay attention to which area you exit as you might be walking in the opposite direction of where you need to be to find your car or choice of transportation.

Save money for food or drinks and park elsewhere. It's $10-$30 to park at the arena but you can find cheaper lots nearby (walkable) that won't be hard to get out of when the entire stadium exits. I prepaid for my parking for $9 (all-day) a few blocks away. Even better, take the Metrolink train to LA Live and pay $3 RT per person. I've parked in Long Beach and taken the Blue-Line up to LA Live and back previously.

Not a big sports fan but came here as a group in a corporate box... The atmosphere was something out of this world - very lively and energetic.

The game felt like it finished too fast compared to wartxhing it on TV.

Recommend this for anyone (even for non sports kind of people).

Up to date and very nice arena. We went to the hockey game and it was a great time. The seats were very comfortable. It was difficult to find out section, as there was a specific entrance/escalator we needed to take, but it was very nice and clean. It really was a great place to watch a game, even though our team lost.

Staples Center is located at LA Live, a mini downtown of sorts. It mostly consists of restaurants and the grammy museum, plus a lucky strikes bowling lane. We felt safe in this area but did not venture too far away.

Went to my first hockey game and it was a great experience! Lots of fun. The staples center is really nice, staff helpful. good standard game food selections, don’t expect anything more or less! I wish there were cup holders in the seats though!

We stopped for a couple of days in LA on a way to NY.
Our teenager son asked us to go to basketball game there.
When we were trying to by tickets, we realized - they are so expensive.
So we decided to buy last row tickets.
And we never regret it.
It was amazing experience, amazing atmosphere, amazing game!!!

Went there to see a Lakers game. After battling the traffic we arrived and ate at one of the restaurants nears the Center. The wait staff was excellent and hurried our meals right along as they knew we were going to a game. Got to the Center showed the attendant out tickets and we were taken to our court-side seats. Great view and to our surprise only a few rows behind Jack. Fun night. The Center worked hard to make sure we had a good experience and we did.

I have been to 15 or more concerts at the staples. It’s very easy in and out which is great. The acoustics are excellent so for a concert it’s a must. If there is someone I like and they’re playing at this venue I will make the effort to go most of the time ! I can’t say that for the forum!

In July the arena is closed and you can't enter, the store is very nice but the Kobe jerseys are always sold out :( From then on everything is normal, Los Angeles is a city full of homeless and somewhat unsafe, the most beautiful thing is in Beverly Hills and Hollywood.

Visited here twice, first time to watch the Kings at an ice Hockey match and then the LA Lakers Basketball team. Location is easy to get to with a metro station in easy walking distance. Take a light jacket for ice hockey game as the arena tends to be a little cooler. All seats provide a good view. Would highly recommend catching a sporting event at this location.

Staples Center is a cool venue! Lou Williams can shoot. Clippers smoked the Suns. LA basketball is rocking!

We arrived in L.A., checked in at Interconcierge and walked from the hotel. I booked my tickets from Japan, but I was nervous about the ticketing system that was in place the day before. I'm happy to be able to experience watching my first basketball game authentically. There were also many food and drink spaces. There was a strict screening of my belongings.

right in the heart of LA come with this great arena for any sport events. coming here feel like you are on to something big. from big screen to statues. It's feel like this is the place to be

We had a great time at the Lakers-Hornets game. Took an Uber from Disneyland, cost was about $45 each way. Was definitely worth it to avoid messing around with parking. We had seats in section 103, great views of the game and scoreboard. Purchased tickets through Ticketmaster, fees were high but was very convenient. Seeing Lebron James and LaMelo Ball play was the highlight of our trip for my son.

Went to a WNBA game- you could sit where ever you wanted- no one made sure you were in your seats. The staff were all nice- and the fans we sat next too were having fun. Got into the game for $5

Friendly staff at all levels of the work force. Food was good and I enjoyed that game. Buying tickets on line was easy and picking my seats was easy on-line.
