As 2021 begins to come to a close, there couldn’t be any more confusing and disappointing news to add to this year than the renaming of the iconic Staples Center.
Expected to go into full effect on Christmas Day, the Downtown, Los Angeles landmark will take on the “Crypto.com Arena” brand after operating under Staples for he past 22 years. While the deal is reportedly worth $70 million, the changes, as you may have guessed it, is not particularly sitting well with Angelenos. Many on social media have expressed their dislikes for the new name and are already planning on taking in their last minute opportunities to capture the arena before its official make over.
