Re: Soon to be "Lights Out" during Laker's home games <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The "Lights Out" promotional billboards are to be taken somewhat literally.For Tuesday's opener, the Lakers will dim the lights above all Staples Center seats and will physically lower lighting trusses above the court to flood the playing area with extra light."Think Madison Square Garden, think boxing," said Tim Harris, Lakers senior vice president of business operations. "We wanted to make the focus of coming to a Laker game the players, the floor. We think it's something the fans will like."The lighting will be used only for Lakers games. It has not been determined how many games it will be used. The team will have practiced Saturday and today at Staples Center in an effort to adjust to the new look."I love it," Bryant said. "It's old school. It puts the focus on the court. It gives it more of a magical feel, more energy, more intensity."This differentiates our game from the Clippers' per se, or any other place. This is kind of our thing here, our statement."</div>This is just sweet, you can go read up more about it on Lakers.com.
Re: Soon to be "Lights Out" during Laker's home games Eh, Im not a fan of this style of lighting, thats why I dont particularly like the way the Garden looks from the inside. I like the lighting to be all over the place, so the whole arena is illuminated; to me, anyway, it gives a sense of being part of the action, instead of just watching it.

Re: Soon to be "Lights Out" during Laker's home games When in the arena it'll be sweet, but on TV I love to see the crowd's reactions and all that, and at least at MSG that is hard to see on TV.
Re: Soon to be "Lights Out" during Laker's home games It looked great! I hope they do every game at Staples like this.
Re: Soon to be "Lights Out" during Laker's home games ^You got your wish, on lakers.com it says they are going to do it for every game.I think it looks very nice, although I also love the old lighting and seeing the crowd. But it does give the Lakers an extra homefield advantage.
