The San Manuel Club, available to suite owners and Premiere Seat holders, got improved sight lines, new furniture and flooring and an increase in seating capacity. The Lexus Club, a members-only bar and restaurant, got a facelift and redone entryway. Suites received new carpet and flat-screen TVs from Panasonic. The Wachovia Club, located on the tunnel level and open to those with courtside seats, got minor updates. The tunnels of the Event Level received wood paneling with silver trim. Etched logos in the Event Level tunnel mark the doorways for each of the home team locker rooms. This section of the Kings' locker room suite is where players suit up. Between the dressing area and equipment area, this lounge features couches, a TV and a refrigerator. These lockers are where Kings players store their street clothes. Visiting locker rooms in Staples Center are nowhere near the luxury enjoyed by the home teams.
