this game was defenitly a nail biter had me at the edge of my seat the whole time . i think the sparks an the stormare both good teams so it was fun to see them go head to head. i love candace parker, an sue bird so it was great to see them on the court together, i will defentily be attending more sparks games i had a blast. GO SPARKS!!!!
Loved the game and atmosphere! The Sparks have many devoted fans of which I am now one. I can't wait for the next home game!!!
The first season game was fun, exciting and we beat the Detroit Shock. I also love the fact that Candice Parker was present even though she was not playing. I was up close to the court and saw Lisa Leslie's adorable little girl. Not to mention that I was sitting two seats away from the actress Helen Hunt. Supporting the Sparks on the courtside was Snoop Dogg. The best part of the event was that I went with my close friend who was waived from the LA Sparks due to an injury. We both love basketball and enjoyed the fast breaks and excellent game that the Sparks played.
We had an unforgettable time at the Staples Center watching the Sparks. The ladies played wonderfully, the crowd was energied, and I especially enjoyed the scissoring dribbles. The dancers during time outs and half were really cute as well.
My son and I had a great time ! Great atmosphere! We were cheering the Sparks on !
I took two of my sons to the Sparks game. When I told them what I had done, they asked if this was really a sport. I laughed and we went. Not only did we get very good seats, but we were treated to a fun game. The basketball was good, and competitive, but there were no fights in the stands and we didn't get beer spilled on us. There were plenty of activities in the down times to keep us busy, the other fans were friendly and cordial. We struck up several conversations around us, and everyone seemed to be smiling. One of my sons told me he had attended several other sports, many in the Staples Center, and the competition was so very high that people were insulting, rude, and even violent. He told me he had a much better time at the Sparks game. It was very family oriented. I was a little disappointed that Lisa Leslie was unable to play due to an injury, but we got to see Candace Parker return. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience and I would do it again, and recommend it.
AWESOME GAME I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE SPARKS IN ACTION AGAIN!!!
Overall the energy and gameplay was better than what I expected..
We had so much fun seeing the Sparks play the Seattle Storm. Great game!
I happenly got a inviation for suite at half time. That was great view.
The seats were excellent and the Sparks played a tremendous game making this a truly enjoyable experience.
I always enjoy the LA Sparks. I thought the game was exciting and hopeful. Glad to see the players back on the floor playing their hearts out.

This is good entertainment for all ages! Play by play excitement.
Opening day was so exciting. It was electricity in the air, from the young to the old there was nothing else on the planet but Sparks Basketball. Boy did they give us a show!!!!!!!!!!!
Attending this game was just awesome. Glad to see that the sparks were victorious on opening day and infront of the home crowd. The atmosphere was great, the entertainment was well planned. especially the tribute to Lovedy her presence will be missed her spirit and her memories will not be forgotten
With having two boys that played basketball I have alway enjoyed watching women play, this was just fantastic to watch. My son bought me the ticket for my birthday because he knows I just love watching the Sparks play and I was not disappointed. Love every minute of it.....Thanks Sparks for putting it all together....
The WNBA Opener in Los Angeles was a great event. The Sparks played well and won the game easily. Thanks, ticketmaster
The Sparks games have been awesome. My girls are basketball players and we have season passes. They have thoroughly enjoyed attending the games and watching their favorite players play. The energy is so exciting and the Sparks organization offers so many great programs for the kids. My daughters have had a chance to compete on the sparks court at a " Father & Daughters" event on Father's Day. They have met, taken pictures with and received autographs from all the players. Their pictures have even been posted on the Sparks website. This experience has been AWESOME. Lisa Leslie and Candace Parker Rock!!!
The WNBA, good wholesome entertainment. Great for the entire family. I am so grateful that I have this oppertunity to see Lisa play her final season, along side of Mrs. Parker and the great Tina Thompson. I just love the LA Sparks. These ladies are the perfect role models for my daughters. And in ending..................Thank you Lisa, you will be missed, but never forgotten!
