Advice for Out of Town/Country Fan attending Clippers Game

Too Late Crew · Post #1 » by **Too Late Crew** » Thu Jan 5, 2012 9:18 pm

Hi All,

Wondering if any Clips fans would share some advice. I need to go to California for business and have the good fortune to be able to attend both the Raptors Clippers game (I am from Canada but seeing the Raptors is just coincidence) and Lakers Pacers game on January 22.

I am staying in Woodland Hills but have a rental car.

looking for advice on where to park, when to arrive, traffic maybe where to eat between games. Nothing pricey just want some decent food preferably within walking distance (I don't mind walking up to 30 minutes)

I've been to NBA games before but these will be my first in Staples Centre so any advice is appreciated.

EDIT: I just realized, this is on a Sunday... Edited accordingly

Sunday traffic is very minimal, There's numerous places to park, I personally park on 12th street and Hope ($10 parking). You can go to LA Live which is right across the street of the staples center, you can eat at ESPN Zone or Yardhouse (i prefer this place over espnzone) as well as other places.

Have a good one =]

Traffic can be bad, but if the game is really on a Sunday you should be good. There's nothing wrong with leaving a few hours before the game.(If you want to eat prior to the game) Just so you can get familiar with what's around. Hope you enjoy the games and your stay in California.
