Los Angeles: Sports in LA
Baseball : the LA Dodgers (tel 323/224-1459) play at Dodger Stadium near downtown, seats $6-21; Anaheim Angels (tel 1-888/796-4256) at Anaheim Stadium in Orange County, seats $6-30.Basketball : the NBA champion LA Lakers (tel 310/419-3182) and the LA Clippers (tel 213/745-0500) both play at the Staples Center south of downtown. The always-mediocre Clippers are a cheap date ($10-68) while the better, flashier Lakers will cost you plenty for decent seats ($25-175).
Football : Pasadena's 102,000-seat Rose Bowl (tel 626/577-3100), seven miles northeast of downtown LA, is the site of the annual New Year's Rose Bowl football game, but if you're after pro football, you're out of luck: LA hasn't had a franchise in years.
Hockey : the LA Kings are also based at the Staples Center (tel 1-888/KINGS-LA), seats $18-90, while the Mighty Ducks represent Orange County and play at Arrowhead Pond (tel 714/704-2500) in Anaheim, seats $25-170.
