Crypto.com Arena opened in 1999 as the Staples Center — a name people still search for years after the 2021 change — and it is the busiest shared building in North American sport: the Kings, the Lakers, the Clippers and the Sparks all call it home. For hockey it seats around 18,200, and the Kings have been the winter tenant since the day it opened.

Published figures for hockey range from 18,145 to 18,230 seats.

Because four teams share it, the hockey configuration is a different room from the basketball one and the seating chart is not interchangeable. The 100 level along the boards is the reference view; the 100 corners see both goals and are the value seat. The premier (200) level is the flattest angle in the building. The 300 level is steep and high, and for hockey it is the better bargain — a 61-metre sheet needs height, and the upper bowl at centre ice gives you the whole of it. Published hockey capacity figures for this building disagree with each other, which is a symptom of how often the bowl is reconfigured.
