Thinking about going with some friends to the HCA viewing party. Just curious if any of guys gone before, and if its worth the $15. Also, how packed our these staples viewing parties?

i am going to staples center and i really enjoy it on 2004 since those are the only lakers tickets Ican afford . we have fun and i advice you guies go go too

never been there. I have watched the laker games live many times, but not one of these.

I also would like to know is it worth it to drive all the way out there, plus parking is another $20.

And where are the best seats?

The parking is not as expensive as when there is a life game and you can allways beat that by taking the metro and exit pico station.

That's how I always go, lol. And the trains are fun on the way home cuz they're just full of Laker fans.

I moved across the country last summer so I won't be there this yr. But I've gone b4 a few times and they were pretty fun. It's always fun to watch with a bunch of other fans and the only way I could afford to take my kids. And the money goes to charity so it's all good right.

I will fly out there for the parade though. We've already decided that and been budgeting all yr to save $$ for it. My mom thinks that's pretty crazy but I haven't missed one yet and don't plan on starting now.

I've never been to one although I am VERY curious to go!!! my dad wouldn't be cool with the whole bus idea tho i would be! but i'll try and see if we can go for one of the games tho i doubt it cuz i'm never off work till 7pm

The games get hyped at City Walk too. They play em out on the huge screen and the Laker fans always take over the whole upper and lower section of the eating area. Its funny when ppl have to stand to eat their Tommys burgers dripping chili on their shoes hah.
