And no, the status of the lights would not change anything.

I feel reasonably safe in saying that a good portion of the fans at Staples are old enough that they no longer associate dark with quiet time or nap time.

So because someone can afford a seat in sections 100-200, they are somehow not "real" fans?

Oh man, I've seen some BS around here, but that ranks right up there with the worst of it..

Maybe a "real" fan would find ways to scrimp and save their money so they can attend a game.

Make it a requirement that you have to wear something Lakers related to enter the lower bowl. If you don't have it, give them a free tshirt.

if they did that staples would turn into dodger stadium. i was pretty obvious during the $10 playoff viewings last year that too many dodger/raider fans in one location doesnt end well

I love lights out. But what is to stop somebody from throwing food into the lower rows, stealing someone's wallet, or punching them in the face? Surely those incidents must happen...

Dude, the lights are dimmed. It's not pitch black like a closet in there.

Lights out are a good thing .... with the lights on, it would show how corporate and wishy-washy the Staples crowd really is, as they are snappin' pick of courtside celebs instead of watching the game ........

It's obvious that the people who thinks the Lights Out should be removed have never attended a game at Staples Center.

It's not DARK in person. In fact, there is plenty of lights, you can see where you're moving in the seats. The way the lighting looks on TV makes the crowd look dark.

It's just the Los Angeles (or Southern California) crowd that is too casual and laid back. It has nothing to do with "Lights Out".

But imagine the endless possibilities of groping if it was darker..

Some of us grope anyway.
