For people who were there or who have an opinion, what were your thoughts on the Laker's new lighting style in Staples Center?

<div class="quote_poster">*Scotch Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">It reminds me of Madison Square Garden.</div> That's exactly what I kept thinking too. I have mixed feelings about it. I like the idea of keeping the focus on the game...but we all of too many good memories of seeing the whole Staples crowd going crazy in dramatic moments.

Excellent decision and I hope they continue with it. The Lakers used to do this at the Great Western Forum. It looks classy.

The Lights Out concept is great...it emphezise the fact that the game is the center of attention. When I used to go to the Great Western Forum everyone will have their eyes on the court. When the Staples had their lights on every body would wonder around sometimes not even pay attention to the game. Now it makes it more interesting and fans will focus more into the game instead of looking for celebrities.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The "Lights Out" campaign has been given the green light. The temporary lighting system that flooded the court in the home opener will be used tonight and at all remaining Lakers home games, with the exception of one or two that conflict with concerts at Staples Center. The Lakers wanted to gauge player and fan reaction before committing to an entire season. "Given the overwhelming response of people who wanted it, we're going to keep the temporary system in place while a permanent system is designed and built," said Tim Harris, Lakers senior vice president of business operations. "During that interim time, there may be a game or two where we have to play under the old lighting system due to technical difficulties."</div> Lights Out Given Green Light YES! It's great when the organization listens to its fans.
