Our seats were GREAT in section 214! I actually prefer the corner sections so that you don't have to turn your head back and forth to watch the action (I used to have neck problems, so I'm not just lazy!)
The obnoxious drunken idiots in the suite right above our section provided entertainment far better than the numerous fights on the ice. They only shut up for the first 10 minutes of the second period, after all of the red jackets and security guards stood facing their suite for pretty much the entire first period (red jacket in the middle below, security guard to his right).
The drunk guys in the suite (Sharks fans) kept shouting such wonderful things as:
-Go Sharks Go (literally the ENTIRE first 10 minutes of the game and then repeatedly thereafter)
-Kings Suck
-Game's Over
-Go Home
-I wanna see/look at all the empty seats
Obviously this annoyed the people in our section tremendously. Some of the great comebacks yelled up towards the suite:
-(Kings Suck) So does your mom
-(Kings Suck) If they suck so bad, why are the Sharks only up by 1?
-(Game's Over) Then go home
-(Go Home) You go first and we'll follow you
-(I wanna see/look at all the empty seats) We want to see an empty suite
-Jump!
When we left the game it was FREEZING and windy! We hurried to the fancy new parking structure where we had paid $25 to park right across the street from the convention center and diagonal to the Staples Center. It was worth EVERY PENNY!!! The structure is very well lit, a breeze to get in and out of, and sheltered us from the wind and cold. The only downside is that the stairs to the lower level are on the far side of the structure from both the Nokia Theatre and the Staples Center (the only thing poorly planned). In the middle is the ramp you drive down to get to the lower level...so of course the hubby and I took the shortest distance between the two points (the ramp). It was only when we got to the bottom that we noticed this sign:
Oops!

I haven't been to a hockey game in years. Sounds like you had a great time. Obnoxious drunks can be slightly entertaining at times.
Three things to add to this:
- Another annoying thing one of them kept shouting was "Thank you for coming!" Whatever the hell that is supposed to mean...
- Another good comeback was "Who let you out of your mom and dad's basement?"
- Also, I don't think they were drunk! They were this obnoxious sober!
LOL, bad signage!
This is too long....I will have to come back later and give it proper attention :)
