Inside the Arena:
The Staples Center has a clean, aesthetic interior and is easy to navigate. Despite it's age (it opened in 1999) it has a modern day feel and great lighting. Getting in can be a wait, so try to use the other 2 entrances besides the main one right off Figueroa.
There's a sports art and collectibles gallery called Art of the Game located at the Figueroa Entrance. You'll find fine art and memorabilia from all sports and it's definitely worth checking out.
Food and Drink:
You'll have no problem finding standard arena fare like hot dogs, but there are a few other options as well. Outtakes near Seciton 104 has sushi plates, kosher items, and gluten-free foods. You'll find a few Wetzel's Pretzels around which we highly recommend for a unhealthy yet super tasty snack. The Budweiser Pub Whistlestop (sec 108) has some pretty good French Dip sandwiches and we also love Camacho's Cantina (also a favorite at Dodger Stadium) for some great nachos and burritos. They also serve Daquiris and Margaritas, although there are also a few portable margarita stands around as well.
For the largest selection of hot dogs check out Extreme Loaded Dogs (Sec 118) for things like a fork and knife chili dog. Corner Grill (Main Level) or City View Diner (Upper Level) also hase a chili dog as well as Italian Grinders, Chicken Sandwiches and Turkey Burgers worth trying in addition to vegetarian items.
There are 2 large bars on the main level: Figueroa Bar and Harbor Bar and those are your best bets for variety, although on the upper level there are several bars as well that serve up decent draft beers and cocktails and will generally have pretty short lines.
If you're on the Suite Level, the Spotlight Grill and Skyline Grill have a decent selection of items like grilled chicken sandwiches, cheeseburgers, turkey and veggie burgers, and kids' items. Buss Stop and Cooke's Corner have less standard fare like BBQ Brisket and Italian Grinders and several salads. You can also get service right at your seat as well which is always nice.
