Imagine being "in the moment" - when nothing else matters but what's going on around you right then and right there. It's when you experience something so fully you don't think about it or analyze it, you just enjoy it. The moment is that magical place where you scream the loudest, laugh the hardest and live the fullest.
As a one-of-a-kind entertainment campus, the vision of L.A. LIVE is to provide Los Angeles' residents, commuters, guests and tourists a genuine world-class sports and entertainment destination where they can experience moments like this all the time.
Located in the center of the entertainment capital of the world, the 5.6 million square foot L.A. LIVE mixed-used development on 27 acres will be the primary "content campus" and event center for Southern California where people seeking entertainment offerings intersect with the sports and entertainment industries at work in an energetic, unique, urban environment covering more than 6 city blocks.
Leveraging the tremendous success of STAPLES Center, L.A. LIVE will expand the entertainment content in downtown Los Angeles' South Park neighborhood with complimenting venues, fully functioning broadcast studios, restaurants, cafes, cinemas, bowling lanes, music clubs and cultural museum.
In addition, L.A. LIVE will serve as the catalyst to enhance the economic potential of the adjacent Los Angeles Convention Center by adding a convention headquarters hotel and meeting space, making Los Angeles competitive with other regional convention markets. As a major mechanism in rejuvenating the downtown core, L.A. LIVE will also invigorate an emerging high-density urban residential neighborhood and pedestrian district.
L.A. LIVE is a one-of-a-kind, landmark entertainment destination. It is a multi-faceted campus featuring an exciting mix of entertainment from sports to music to movies to dining. It will serve as the leading entertainment destination for all of Los Angeles and as the event capital of the world. L.A. LIVE was created to put its audiences in the moment. "Live" is the driving force - you cannot get any more "live" than when you are in the moment.

Contrary to the reviewer before me, I have been to the Nokia Theater on more than one occasion and I have nothing but good things to say about it.
I've sat on the floor for the events that I attended and the sound quality was excellent, the security was exceptional, and fortunately, for my experience, the patrons were more interested in the music than each other.
Perhaps, yausser, you just had a unlucky experience with the Steely Dan show. Honestly, I wanted to go to that show when it was announced as I have seen Steely Dan before and LOVED IT but I was already committed to seeing John Mayer that night. I do hope that you try the Nokia again as it is an incredible place to see a live performance.

Give me the Wiltern, the Orpheum, the Hollywood Bowl, the House of Blues, or even the Greek, please! I love music. That's why I say, No No No Nokia! If you appreciate music, the Nokia will ruin your experience. Here's why:
The aisles are wide in the orchestra seating section theatre with few aisles
There is only an intermission between the opening act the main event, so during the main event, people come and go out for drinks, and you have to stand each time for them to pass. This happened almost every song.
Drink cupholders on the back of seats, and passing patrons caused five drinks to spill behind us. Thanks Nokia for my wet feet, her wet purse, our wet spirits.
Patrons talked throughout the opening act, ignoring good musicians
Steely Dan was great, but was the sound system was not quite up to showing them off
One plus, security was effective in throwing out the drunks behind us, but after their fistfight!
It only interrupted one number
For me, it's NO NO NO NOKIA!
For me, if the music is worth seeing, the Nokia theatre may ruin it.
For you, the better the music, the more NOkia will ruin it for you.
