It's good to have an owner that cares more about the fan experience than the money. Balmer is building the best stadium that money can buy.

This is the start of something big for the NBA for sure. I love how he's taken inspiration from football stadiums around Europe because we all know the atmosphere is greater. Ive been to Nba games and football matches in Europe and its day and night. This will 100% be the start of something big for the Nba. Hopefully other teams follow his path as soon as possible

This is my first time hearing Steve Ballmer’s voice when it wasn’t hoarse from yelling lol. This place definitely sounds like a great place to watch basketball.

As a Lakers fan I can appreciate Steve's effort to make it a pure basketball arena. At Crypto, it's hard for fans to be intimate since it's also a hockey arena so the fans aren'tas close to the action. Wish the Lakers would do more things with their fans in mind. Unfortunately they cater more towards the wealthy.
