"Lots of energy near band"

Comments

It's hard to find a cheap seat these days to see Lebron and The Lakers but the 300 level section usually isn't too bad. The view is pretty tough from behind the basket such as within section 309. From here, it is very difficult to see if the ball is making it through the hoop or rimming out. When the teams were attacking this nearest basket, I was practically relegated to watch the jumbotron in order to catch what was going on. One added bonus was that I was directly next to the Staples Center band which plays in the front of section 308. The band would often fill in down time and help start chants to get the Lakers pumped up. I'd absolutely prefer to sit in the lower bowl but these aren't terrible considering the money I saved and energy felt next to the hype band.

Best for... fans on a budget

Avoid if... you want to watch the game, climbing stairs is difficult
