Nestled in the bustling downtown area of Los Angeles sits Crypto.com Arena. What was once known as STAPLES Center is the home of the LA Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Kings and Los Angeles Sparks. It’s hosted NBA Finals games, NBA and NHL All-Star games, Arena Football League games, the X-Games, WrestleMania, boxing, MMA, Grammy ceremonies and so much more. Now, it’s undergoing some changes.
As David Wharton of the Los Angeles Times points out, the original design of then-STAPLES Center will likely allow for renovations to flow more smoothly than some other arenas since the arena originally “had to be spacious enough to accommodate four teams and a full schedule of concerts.
