Martin appears there Nov. 13, and the Eagles headline a New Year's Eve show. We expect the Boss and Martin will be happy with the place, judging by a recent walking tour we took. First, we were interested in the acoustics. After all, the biggest flaw at the Forum is the awful, echoing sound. Staples, on the other hand, boasts a $1.5 million Bose sound system featuring four raised clusters of speakers. ``The building itself is totally dead acoustically, which is the best way to start,'' said Staples spokesman Michael Roth Michael Roth (born February 15, 1962) is a former West German handball player who competed in the 1984 Summer Olympics. He was a member of the West German handball team which won the silver medal. He played two matches and scored two goals. . ``But whenever anyone comes in for a show, they bring their own sound system, anyway.'' During our visit, hard-hat-wearing workers toiled inside the sparkling, 900,000-square-foot arena, which boasts 24 refreshment stands, 1,200 TV monitors, 55 public restrooms, ATMs, on-line banking and three levels of luxury suites.

As for parking, 26 lots within four blocks of the arena should go a long way toward making the concert-going experience a pleasant one. The Blue Line, incidentally, stops just outside the front door. Along with more than 200 events a year, including games and concerts, Staples Center will host the televised Grammy Awards next year. The new arena, which boasts 2,500 more seats than the Forum, made structural changes, including adding storage areas and an internal service elevator, to accommodate the record academy. While the well-appointed luxury suites, replete with cherry-wood paneling, bar, sink, TV monitors and comfortable seating, are impressive - and they cost a pretty penny, too - general seating was a priority, Roth insisted. ``We spent more money on public seating than anywhere else,'' he said.
