Editorial Review for Fox Sports Sky Box – by Erika Dykstra
The Scene
Picture this: 54 TVs--the biggest one stretching 16 feet wide--projecting nearly every sporting event on the airwaves. NFL? Got it, plus the NBA, NHL and major league baseball. Every seat has a clear view of at least a few screens in this upscale, modern sports bar. Fans, many of them sporting team jerseys, root loudly for their beloved Lakers, Clippers, Kings, Angels, Ducks and Dodgers. Home-team loyalty runs deep; some even don old-school Rams and Raiders jerseys to cheer on their departed favorites.
The Draw
When the Lakers are playing, this is home for die-hard fans--the place is attached to the Lakers' home-court arena, after all. And when the team makes the playoffs, fans fill the joint to hail the purple and gold.

I went to see the Laker's playoff game recently and I arrived 2 hours before the game only to be turned away at the door because I didn't have a ticket to the game. The general public could not enter the bar until the game started! So, on top of waiting two hours I also had to pay a $20 cover. My friend and I were some of the first inside yet we were still denied a table because we did not have a full party. We told the hostess that we had friends coming but we were still refused a table. The drinks are expensive and weak. The big screen TV is a blurry projection and a very far shot from the hdtv most other bars have. Definitely not worth the money, or the wait. Thankfully, the Lakers won or it would have been a total loss. GO LAKERS!
Pros: Lakers won!
Cons: general public prohibited from entering b4 game, $20 cover, weak and expensive drinks, big screen tv is horrible

a good place to hang out with your friends after work. It's easy to find and has lots of seating. I really like the idea of pulling in after work grabbing a cold one then hitting the road. The last time I went they were showing a golf game, although the NBA championships were on. They said they were having some problems with their tv reception. wow I believe them! That would really be my only complaint. other than that FSSB is a lot of fun
