Lakers at Crypto.com Arena
Showtime. Seventeen championship banners and the retired jerseys of Kareem, Magic, Worthy, Shaq, Kobe (both 8 and 24), and eventually LeBron hang in the rafters. Celebrity row is the most famous sideline in sports, and the Lakers home game is as much a Hollywood event as a basketball game.

Crypto.com Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena in downtown Los Angeles. Opened on October 17, 1999, as Staples Center, it is located next to the Los Angeles Convention Center complex along Figueroa Street, and has since been considered a part of L.A. Live. Owned and operated by Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), it is the home venue of the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL)—which are both owned in part by AEG's founder Philip Anschutz, as well as the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks.

LAX is 30-45 minutes away; Burbank (BUR) is closer. Crypto.com Arena sits in LA Live downtown — stay at the JW Marriott or Ritz Carlton right there and walk across the plaza. Book lower-bowl tickets early for celebrity sight-line seats.
