The Staples Center is a sports-arena that holds many different events every year including basketball, ice hockey, arena football, and many other events. The Staples Center has been regarded by many as one of the premier venues across the country for any indoor event, and has been named New Major Concert Venue (2000) and Arena of the Year (2000 and 2001) by Pollstar Magazine.
Some of the arena's history include hosting the NBA Finals, NHL All-Star Game, NBA All-Star Game, WNBA Finals, PAC-10 Basketball Finals, The Democratic National Convention in 2000 and recently hosting Michael Jackson's public funeral service to name a few.
The Staples Center has a capacity of 18,118 for ice hockey, 18,997 for basketball, and up 20,000 for concert and boxing events. Located in the heart of Los Angles it is a hard place to miss when driving down the I-10 or I-110 freeways.
The Staples Center is a magnificent arena that I have had the pleasure of going to for many years now and it still continues to be a venue that I love going to. On top of housing some of my favorite professional teams, the concerts that take place inside are also a site to see. The venue has a very good setting for music/audio and this is a big reason why the Grammy Awards have taken place at Staples Center since 2000.
Newly added to the Staples Center is a plaza located directly across the street called L.A. Live which holds a plethora of restaurants, a movie theatre, and even a smaller venue for music/concerts called Nokia Theatre. With these additions the Staples Center location has become a very hip and fun place to be during any event.
If going to the Staples Center I would suggest to get there early, as traffic in Los Angeles is always a sure bet, and to enjoy the atmosphere at LA Live before the event at Staples Center. Afterward, one can enjoy a very tasty ice cream from New Zealand Natural before or after the game at LA Live. If you cannot seem to find a ticket, the great thing about this place is that there are so many restaurants and places for you to be right in the thick of things and enjoy a great meal at the same time with other fans.
The Staples Center in Los Angles,CA. a definite place to visit if you are in LA!
