It seems the Los Angeles Avengers are now defunct. I added the word "formerly" before their inclusion on the list of currently hosted franchises, with the intention of a quick -- albeit temporary -- fix. I'm not sure if this devalidates the statement that it's the "only arena to host five professional sport franchises," as I'm not really sure what we're including under that definition. If the NBA D-League team counts, then the statement still stands, otherwise it needs to be retracted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.220.213.54 ( talk) 10:54, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
Just because the official title is in all caps, doesn't nessecarily mean that it has to be all caps here on wikipedia. For example, the Miami Heat are offically the Miami "HEAT" on thier websites, but the name is rendered "Heat" when it is referenced in stories. Than same is true with the Staples Center. Maybe we should use the correct media style guide, not the "official" guideline. Dknights411 16:47, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Wrestling is an important billion dollar industry with a long history and worldwide interest and notability. Add to that the wrestling gave this venue its biggest attendance ever for an event, these references should be here (hint; those wrestling wikilinks go somewhere). Hypnosadist 23:39, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Pro wrestling is about as notable to the history of sporting venues as tractor pulls. Only by the insistence of a small motley crew of rasslin' buffs does it even merit mention in a general-interest encyclopedia, and it certainly doesn't need to creep its way into other articles that have all but nothing to do with the pseudo-sport. I Always Win 23:47, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
This article reads like a press release for the arena in some sections and certainly has some problems with POV and is entirely unreferenced. Hope someone can work on this and bring it up to Wikipedia standards. - Gmatsuda 04:44, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Please do not remove the Articleissues template from the article. There are several problems with this article. When those problems are resolved THEN remove it. -- Gmatsuda 02:56, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
About the history section...there is one mention of most kinds of events held at Staples Center, with the exception of the wrestling events, of which there are six. That's a POV/balance problem to me. -- Gmatsuda ( talk) 00:09, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm new to this article, but after reading it I'm inclined to agree with Gmatsuda's concerns noted above. Sounds too much like a promo piece; too many AEG references; and the pro wrestling references should be pared down a bit. In terms of the latter, may I suggest the following: Staples Center has also hosted many World Wrestling Entertainment events, including the attendance record-setting Wrestlemania 21 in 2005.[4] Simple and to the point. -- Alika ( talk) 17:59, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
I've been away, but now that I'm back and looking at this article again, it's still little more than a promotional piece for Staples Center and the list of events/performers reflects nothing more than a popularity poll. "Who do I like best that performed at Staples Center? I'm going to add them to the list!"
There are WAY too many performers/events listed, especially in terms of pro wrestling. This article needs to be cleaned up in this area especially. There is no need to list so many event or performers to make it clear that Staples Center hosts many big events and big-name performers. -- Gmatsuda ( talk) 09:41, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
I'm wondering if the Staples Center attendance record is 20,262 instead of 20,193 because on Februry 23, 2008 when the Lakers played the Clippers the attendance was 20,262, and the article says it's 20,193 from Wrestlemania 21. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.160.61.163 ( talk) 04:56, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
I thought I'd just mention here that I have removed parts of the text in the section "The arena" as it was written like an advertisement. I do also have concerns that part of the "Future developments" section may violate WP:NPOV but I have left the section untouched so that if necessary, it can be discussed. Thanks. Tbo 157 (talk) 18:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Can I just say that the comment "It is the only arena that is home to five professional sports franchises" is actually false and misleading. For example, in Australia, the MCG is home to 5 'franchises' in the AFL alone, let alone cricket, soccer and rugby. You may want to re-word that sentence so it doesn't completely mislead people. Cheers -- 122.49.155.20 ( talk) 05:44, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
The JBA Los Angeles Ballers did not have a home arena, as with all JBA teams. his reference should be removed from the entry. — Preceding

The Facts and Timeline sections that were in this article were nothing more than a trivia section. This material needs to be incorporated into the prose. It also contains some rather useless trivia. I don't have time to make these edits, so I just combined them into a trivia section and added the trivia flag to the Articleissues template. -- Gmatsuda ( talk) 00:09, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
Why are the JBA, LA Ballers even listed in this article? And why are they listed as still active?
I AM TRYING TO FIND A LAYOUT OR A BLUEPRINT OF THE INSIDE OF A SPORTS ARENA AND I CANT FIND ONE ANYWHERE. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND OUT WHAT THE INSIDES OF AN ARENA LOOKS LIKE? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.49.203.97 ( talk) 17:51, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
I've removed a bunch of the performers/artists who have appeared in concert at Staples Center and have added the fact template for each of those listed, since they are all unreferenced. Hopefully, none will be added unless they are of tremendous notability as there is no need for this article to list every single artist who has performed in concert at Staples Center. -- Gmatsuda ( talk) 08:08, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
This article comtinues to attract editors who insist on adding every performer/performance at Staples Center, when it should only highlight them. Good example is a recent edit by Lolcakes25, an apparant Beyonce fan, adding a performance by Beyonce that just happened.
This article is NOT a list of every single perforner or event at Staples Center, nor should it be. -- Gmatsuda ( talk) 04:57, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
Can someone more skilled at editing than me please add in the history that in 2011, 2012 and 2013 the center hosted the League of Legends world championships final. I realize pro gaming may not be the most famous sport ATM but it is still a major event that attracts large crowds both live and watching online. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.196.18 ( talk) 17:53, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
@
Gmatsuda:
why? If the pipe chacarter was intentional, then you should probably add comment or put the [[Arena football]]: 16,096<br>[[Concerts]]: 20,000<br>[[Boxing]]: 21,000<br />Concert theatre: 6,100<br />Lower bowl: 9,500
part in comment, which is used for comments, pipe characters in such places could confuse editors. --

Hello all, I saw that some editors have added "The House that Kobe Built" as the nickname for the Staples Center. I'm seeing some news outlets, including CBS Los Angeles, CNN, and HuffPost, among others. I'm only seeing quotes and not much secondary coverage. These sources are only quoting other people. I want to see if there is any consensus or no consensus to include the nickname in the infobox and main article. -- LuK3 (Talk) 13:37, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

I moved the page and changed everything in this article. So all is good for the official changeover which is now 12 hours away according to my watch. I also made changes on other pages to reflect the name change. Hope this helps. -- IndustryPlantCooper ( talk) 20:14, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
Do any of you live near the arena? If so it would be great if someone could get a new photo of the venue with the new signage up. All the photos on the page now say Staples Center, but if we can at least get a new one to put at the top that would be wonderful. -- IndustryPlantCooper ( talk) 20:09, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
I keep seeing users re-adding the former name "Staples Center" under the top photo in the infobox. I find this overly redundant. Firstly, in the photo, it says Staples Center. You can see it just by viewing the photo, so you can tell that's the former name. At the top of the article, the former name appears in boldface. Lastly, in the infobox, there is a header for the former name and the former name Staples Center is mentioned. There really is no real need to constantly be mentioning the former name more than its mentioned. Mentioning it at the top of the article is fine as the name change is recent. Mentioning it in the infobox under the former name header is perfectly logical as it reflects the venue's history. Beyond that mentioning it in the photo caption just makes the article overly redundant. -- IndustryPlantCooper ( talk) 15:36, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
This is just an idea, but I’m curious as to how you all feel. Do any of you feel that it might be worthwhile to add a new section to the article about the history of the naming rights? Two different companies have had naming rights to the venue already and perhaps it’s not a bad idea to add a new section. In addition to the venue having two different names over the past two decades, during the Olympics and Paralympics the venue will temporarily have a completely different name because apparently the sports venues can’t have a corporate name during the Olympics. -- IndustryPlantCooper ( talk) 20:28, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
Some users appear to be giving the venue a nickname; "The Crypt". The name just changed and its too soon for the venue to have a nickname for the name change. If it were to stick around as a nickname amongst the public and it the reference were to be sourced then maybe. But if "The House the Kobe Built" can't be included, I don't see why "The Crypt" would be included. -- IndustryPlantCooper ( talk) 15:39, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
