It will always be �Staples Center� to me.

Just like it will always be �The Forum� or even the �Great Western Forum.� And I even still call the Honda Center �The Pond.�

Crypto sounds TOO much like Crypt. And that can't be good for a sports team like the Lakers. The Doors are singing "This is the End..."

maybe if kobi's wife sent them a 30m dollar check each year


turned out to be a profitable build for them

definitely has been the start of a new area/stadium boom where naming rights got to point paying this shit off and hopefully not leaving cities high and dry...ATT stadium worked out...though city owns the building and only getting 500k year in naming fees.



Staples reportedly paid $116 million over 20 years, starting in 1999, for the naming rights to the arena

One corporate name replaces another.


There's no money in original names anymore. Like Candlestick Park or Solder Field.
