Venue vision
[Edit this paragraph]
The Staples Center, the home of the Lakers, is located in downtown Los Angeles. When it is 3 kilometers away from the arena, you can see the huge portraits of three historical centers of the Lakers, Chamberlain, Jabbar and O 'Neal, on three buildings side by side in the distance. This is an advertisement made by Apple Computer Company on the three main buildings of Figaro Hotel opposite Staples Center. The actions of the three centers are different, and O 'Neill has the highest position. Although this is a commercial advertisement, it most intuitively publicizes the center tradition that the Lakers are most proud of.
Staples Arena, with a cost of $380 million, can accommodate nearly 20,000 spectators, and has 12 entrances, forming a block independently. There is a huge "forward Lakers!" Hanging at every entrance. Banners and huge electronic display boards are constantly turning over the glorious history of winning the championship seven times and entering the finals 25 times in the history of the Lakers, as well as the introduction of active Lakers stars. After the Lakers swept the Spurs to the finals, Staples Center has become the center of Los Angeles.
There is also a bronze statue of "Magic" Johnson outside the arena, which was built before the 2004 All-Star Game in Los Angeles.
Venue design
[Edit this paragraph]
Staples Center has a very modest attribute-the world sports and entertainment center. However, when you walk into this huge basketball stadium and associate it with the basketball games and concerts that Hollywood movie stars often hold here, the title is not too far-fetched. However, every summer, this center belongs only to basketball. Staples Center is designed in strict accordance with the modern professional basketball hall. The third-floor stands can clearly see everything on the court from any angle, and there are nearly 300 luxury boxes, which is a trendy basketball hall feature.
There are six TV screens hanging on the top of the stadium, and every wonderful picture in the game can be played back in slow motion in time. The entire arena is divided into more than 400 blocks with nearly 200 passages.
Venue evaluation
[Edit this paragraph]
This is a blessed land that inherits history. It has witnessed the "OK combination" winning three consecutive championships, the amazing Kobe Bryant's brave score of 8 1, and the resurgence of the Lakers. This is an ocean of fans' joy. Whether you are a rich man, a star or a poor man with few financial resources, you have become a crazy fan here.
A blessed place to inherit history.
"TheTradition" is one of the slogans of the Lakers in this year's playoffs. Only those who are familiar with the past glory of the Lakers can appreciate the heaviness of this slogan. Staples Center is a blessed place to inherit the glorious history.
This arena was officially put into use on 1999, and the Lakers moved their home court from the West Forum Arena. Surprisingly, the Lakers won the championship for three consecutive seasons after moving here. In addition, the Los Angeles Sparks team of WNBA moved its home court here on 200 1, and they won the WNBA championship twice in succession in 200 1 and 2002.
Staples Center has become a blessed place in sports. This blessed land has added another page to the glorious history of the Lakers, and the Lakers have created a new era. Since then, Staples has become another landmark in Los Angeles.
Like most gymnasiums, Staples' locker room is on the ground floor of the basement. This is not only a place for journalists' activities, but also an exhibition hall to show the long history of the Lakers. On the aisle of the Lakers' locker room, there are photos that record precious historical moments. Every photo of Zhang Zhengui shows the glorious tradition of the Lakers to reporters and players coming and going, from the performance moments of "Magic" and "Tengu" to the three glories of "OK Combination" and then to the glory of Kobe Bryant.
The Lakers' glorious past gave them an atmosphere that no other team had. Staples' visiting locker room can also fully see this. Staples is slightly smaller than the home of Nuggets, Jazz and Spurs. However, the treatment of the teams that come here to play away from home is not much worse than that of the home team Lakers. Compared with Pistons' home visit to the locker room, Nets' home visit to the locker room is shabby. Staples' visiting locker room is only a little smaller than the home team's, and other facilities are not much different except for an ultra-thin LCD screen. Let the visiting team enjoy the same treatment as themselves and beat their opponents on the court. This is the atmosphere of the Lakers.
Compared with the clean Staples, the bronze statue of "Magician" standing at the entrance of the arena is really shabby. I don't know if it is because of the weather-beaten, "magician" is not as shiny as a bronze statue. The surface looks white and gray, just like someone accidentally poured a bag of flour on the magician's head. However, the greatness of the "magician" still covers up the obscurity of the bronze statue. Countless tourists who have just come to Staples are standing in front of the bronze statue with great interest and taking photos with idols.
