History Staples Center during a Lakers game prior to the installation of the new scoreboard, and after the implementation of a new lighting system. Construction broke ground in 1998 and Staples Center opened a year later. It was financed privately at a cost of US $375 million and is named for the office - supply company Staples, Inc., which was one of the center 's corporate sponsors that paid for naming rights. The arena opened on October 17, 1999, with a Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band concert as its inaugural event. On October 21, 2009, Staples Center celebrated its 10th anniversary. To commemorate the occasion, the venue 's official web site nominated 25 of the arena 's greatest moments from its first ten years with fans voting on the top ten. During the late summer of 2010, modifications were made to the arena, including refurbished locker rooms for the Clippers, Kings, and Lakers and the installation of a new high - definition center - hung video scoreboard, replacing the original one that had been in place since the building opened in 1999. The Panasonic Live 4HD scoreboard was officially unveiled on September 22, as AEG and Staples Center executives, as well as player representatives from the Clippers ( Craig Smith ), Kings ( Matt Greene ), and Lakers ( Sasha Vujacic ) were on hand for the presentation.
