NBA in LA

I will be in LA in November to catch the Lakers with my son. I was wondering if anyone has knowledge of the rules for bags and camera at the Staples center.

My last time in LA was 16 years ago. if you have a hotel recommendation near LAX airport, I would appreciate. We planned to stay for 5 days therefore I will be looking at taking some photos around the place. I also welcome suggestions on good locations or places to avoid.

Thanks

Ok got it.

I failed to search the site for frequent questions, got my answer.

Here it is:

"No commercial or flash photography of any kind is permitted. Camcorders or any other audio/visual equipment is prohibited unless authorized by team/promoter or performer. Specifically, the use of the following equipment is not permitted:

* Lenses greater than three-and-one-half inches in length
* Telephoto or zoom lenses of any kind
* Interchangeable lenses of any kind
* Monopods or tripods
* Flash equipment of any kind"

Too bad, P&P only with the flash off.

I'll have a good time anyway.
