The Staples Center is a beautiful arena. It is in the heart of downtown and even though my rival team plays there (LA Kings) I still had a great time. There are tons of places to eat and drink before and after the game, that you certainly will not be bored. There are plenty of hotels within walking distance as well that you can stay at for other events. From the moment you walk up, there are usually fun games, vendors and people to check out in the large open air foyer before you enter. Once you enter, it is a beautiful staduim with a very large capacity and nice seats. I do not think there is a bad seat in the house however, I was there just 1 night. We were in the club level so we had a server that always kept our drinks refreshed, however beware, you can rack up a pretty hefty tab very quickly if you are ordering without looking at the prices.
