It was a bit of a surprise, as an outsider, to see the Kings down this far, although crowds have been surprisingly quiet for any recent games I’ve attended — even with a lot of rowdy fans of the visiting team in attendance. (Beat writers who have attended all 32 arenas rated the building just below average.)

The LA Live area is an interesting retail, restaurant and hotel complex around the building that accommodates tourists well, but getting in and out can be painful because of traffic and high-priced parking.
