Staples Center Venue Guide

Where are the most popular sections to sit in the Staples Center?

Usually we might suggest a good medium between the upper level and the floor seats, but in the Staples Center you want to get as close as possible to the court. While the basketball is great, we suggest it because of the celebrities. Everyone wants to see one when they take a trip to L.A., and there’s always some at Lakers games.
