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.”
One of the changes that fans will notice before getting into the actual arena is that Chick Hearn Court, named in honor of Lakers’ legendary announcer Chick Hearn, will no longer be an actual street that cars drive on. Instead, the street will be replaced with a “tree-lined public plaza” that’ll allow fans to congregate in the area between the arena itself and the large L.A. Live plaza that is across the street.
