I Guess it would be better to compare the Great Western Forum to MSG.Just kidding I Havent seen the forum for a long Time.

It's not just based on what it looks like on the outside. Don't just a book by its cover

Golden-mind-State · 03-14-2009, 04:49 PM

And it's not based at all on how many subways run through it..

Accessibility plays a part in judging each arena.

And so does it's looks.

I'd say the Staples Center. I went to a Clippers game a couple weeks ago and loved it, even though the game sucked. I was going to go to the Lakers game the next night, but I ended up flying out a couple days early to DC for some stuff with the DC Fire Dept.

The outside is very nice with the new LA Live. Everything looked gorgeous and I really liked the atmosphere. The public transportation to the Staples Center isn't much worse. I took the subway and was there very easily.

Here are some more pics that include LA Live where the Staples Center is located:

Like I said, you just can't judge solely based on how it looks from the outside. You should also base it on the neighborhood it's in, what the interior is like, how accessible it is, what events it offers, etc.

I am just sitting back picturing myself driving to staples center

oh.... wait a second it would be a 5 hr drive because LA doesnt have public transit

I will stick with the NJ Transit and go right into Penn Station

Not to mention the NY Rangers play in MSG as well

I will pass on Staples Center
