The arena opened on October 17, 1999, and since then, the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers capped-off each of their first three seasons at STAPLES Center by winning consecutive NBA championships. The Sparks captured back-to-back WNBA Championships in their debut seasons at STAPLES Center, and the Kings (NHL), Clippers (NBA) and Avengers (AFL) have all set franchise records for attendance and sellouts in each of the four seasons they have called STAPLES Center home.
