Lights at Laker Games

I'm pretty sure this is the only arena that turns off the lights in the crowd. What's the deal behind this? Does this have something to do with the "Showtime" nickname? Also, is it like that for Clippers games?

Started it in 05 I think
"LightsOut" theme
Puts all the attention on the court
I personally hate it. It seems dark and depressing and I think has an affect on the crowd support and interactions and such
Staples Center is dead during Laker games when the game is close. Not a lot of energy in the building until the end of the 4th or if the Lakers are blowing somebody out

quote:they refer to it as "stage lighting". puts more emphasis on the court and less on the fans in the seats...every arena should do the same and cut out all the stupid arse bits they do at games.
What's the deal behind this?

I want to say they did that during the Magic era when they played at the forum.
