Too much music
Crypto.com Arena - Los Angeles
It’s been a while since I came to a game, and I’m not sure I’ll be back for one any time soon. I’m there for the basketball, not for the DJ, not for the light show. The constant music made me go the bathroom, get toilet paper and stuff it in my ears. My head was pounding by the second quarter. There’s just no need to have music going nonstop. It doesn’t add anything to the experience. It just makes it impossible to hear the announcer and talk to your friend. So bad that I likely won’t come back to a game in person.

Exciting
Crypto.com Arena - Los Angeles
It was a wonderful experience, so much energy and entertainment and of course the great game. I did feel sad I did not spend a bit more for better seats. Difficult to assess if you never been before.

Good
Crypto.com Arena - Los Angeles
Experience was good overall but could be improved. Crowd outside around Kobe statue was chaotic before and after the game. It would be helpful to have one line for the visitors to view and take pictures with the statue and not block the walkways to the entrance.
By It was surreal.. Amazing experience

What a game
Crypto.com Arena - Los Angeles
It was such an exciting game between the Lakers and the Nuggets. It was historical to watch LeBron James hit his 40,000 point.

Magnificent
Crypto.com Arena - Los Angeles
It was my first live NBA match that I saw and from the beginning until the very end, everything was so great. There was not a single moment when you felt bored at all. The stadum, the fans and of course the team were awesome. I would highly and definitely recommend to have this experience like me. Without a doubt, buying from ticketmaster was one of the best, the most comfortable and secure way to buy an event ticket.

Cupholder Issue
Crypto.com Arena - Los Angeles
The cupholders in the 300 level seating are situated in an inconvenient spot and totally unusable. The hole for the cup is placed where your elbow belongs. It would make more sense to install cupholders on the backs of the seats in front of you, as done in most baseball stadiums. And speaking of cups - I ordered a "large"soda at the concession stand that looked more like a small or medium cup, and it cost me $8.99 + tax! Outrageous! What happened to the souvenir cups that Staples used to have? You might pay a little more, but you could get unlimited refills, plus you'd have a keepsake from the game.

Great time with family!
Crypto.com Arena - Los Angeles
Had a great time at our first Lakers game! The kids had a blast. We enjoyed the action on the court. But what made it even more fun was all the fan participation on the court and on jumbotron. Good fun!

Los Angeles Lakers History
The Lakers are one of the most storied franchises in all of sports. They boast 19 conference titles, 33 division titles and 17 NBA Championships.
The Lakers franchise started in 1947 as the Minneapolis Lakers in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and predated the official founding of the NBA. At the time, the Lakers were a member of the National Basketball League (NBL). They moved to the Basketball Association of America (BAA) prior to the 1948-49 season. After that season, the NBL and BAA merged to form the NBA. The Lakers dominated the newly formed NBA, winning five of the first six NBA Championships.
Two big decisions in 1960 altered the future of the franchise. First, they selected Jerry West with the No. 2 overall pick in the NBA Draft. Then, the franchise moved to Los Angeles in the same offseason, becoming the NBA's first team on the West Coast. After several trips to the NBA Finals and trading for Wilt Chamberlain, the Lakers won the NBA Championship in 1971-72, a magical season that included a 33-game win streak, still the NBA record for most consecutive wins. West would go on to become a Hall of Famer, and his silhouette is featured as the NBA's logo.
The Lakers' next era of dominance began in 1979, when they selected Earvin "Magic" Johnson with the No. 1 overall pick. Johnson's unrivaled passing ability allowed the Lakers to play with an up-tempo style that became known as "Showtime."
Led by Johnson and Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Lakers won the NBA Championship in Johnson's rookie season and won a total of five NBA Championships during the '80s.
The Lakers dominated the league again starting in the 1999-00 season, this time led by the legendary duo of Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant. They won three consecutive titles, including a run through the 2000-01 playoffs that saw them lose just one game in four series.
The franchise entered a short rebuilding period after trading O'Neal in 2004, but Bryant led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA Finals appearances once again, starting in the 2007-08 season. They lost to the Celtics in their first appearance, but responded by winning the next two championships, the second of which came in seven games against the Celtics. Bryant retired in 2016.
In 2019-20, the Lakers made the playoffs for the first time in six seasons, with the top seed in the Western Conference. The Los Angeles Lakers ultimately ended up winning the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat in six games for the Lakers' 17th championship.
The Lakers 2021-22 season did not end with a championship, but the team did make it to the playoffs, losing to the eventual Western Conference champions Phoenix Suns. While injuries to stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis helped derail the 2021 campaign, the future for the team and the franchise remains bright.
