The Los Angeles Lakers game at Citizens Business Bank Arena Tuesday night drew more than 9,000. people.
And while there were no celebrities, typically seen at a Staples game, the defending champions did have some well-know Inland Empire residents sitting courtside.
I spotted developer Randall Lewis with one of the best seats in the house, which was a couple of seats away from half court. Then there was Ontario Planning Commissioner Frank Lizarraga who was sitting under the basket closest to the Lakers bench.
My understanding is that seats on the floor at Tuesday night's game were going for as much as $300.
But as sports editor Lou Brewster pointed out, the best seat in the house was probably Lakers coach Phil Jacskon's custom-made seat. The chair looks like a regular folding chair, just taller, to accommodate Jackson.
And about five minutes before the third quarter ended, the crowd erupted in cheers. They weren't applauding the Lakers girls, who were dancing on the court at that time but rather the arrival of Pau Gasol and Luke Walton who did not play.
The duo was greeted by other players on the bench. But I thought it was fitting that as they arrived and a sea of camera lights flashed, a Britney's Spears song was playing.
The chorus of the song, "All eyes on me in the center of the ring," was quite fitting for the moment.
The crowd couldn't get a enough of the Pau, anytime his face was splashed on the screen, fans would erupt in cheers and applause.
But the announcer really got the crowd going when he did a roll call, asking residents cheer anytime their city was called out. To my surprise, Fontana had a good representation.
I'm sure among those yelling Tuesday night was Colton resident self proclaimed "Super Lakers Fan," Paul Sewell.
I spotted Sewell just before the game started not only wearing a jersey but two foam fingers and black goggles.
Turns out, the goggles are "hater shades," that make Sewell invisible to any Laker haters, he said.
This was the first time Sewell was catching the game at the arena, he said tried last year but he couldn't get tickets on time.
"I'm going to petition to the NBA to have at least two Lakers game during the season here," he said.
Sorry, Sewell I don't think that will happen.
But judging by the near sell out crowd, it's probably a safe bet to say the Lakers will be back at the Arena.

Tips for A "Safe Halloween" from Easter Seals
-Go trick-or-treating while it's still light; take a flashlight with new batteries.
-When trick-or-treating, stay in a group, walk slowly, and communicate where you are going.
-Remain on well-lit streets and always use the sidewalk. Stay in your own neighborhood and visit the homes of people you know.
-Plan costumes that are bright, reflective and flame-retardant. Keep them short to prevent trips and falls.
-Wear comfortable, safe shoes.
-If you wear a mask instead of costume make-up, be sure you can see clearly and breathe easily at all times.
-Accept only wrapped, or packaged candy. Have an adult look at your treats before you eat any of them.

Mayor Paul S. Leon, Father Alex Castillo of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, and Ontario Police Fred Alverez spoke on Ontario's Social Host Ordinance at the 4th Annual West End Community Health & Wellness Fair at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. The fair had an estimated 4,500 community members in attendance.
The West End Community Health & Wellness Fair provided not only free services to the community, but helped bring awareness to Ontario's Social Host Ordinance. Although Ontario is currently the only city in San Bernardino County with a Social Host Ordinance, many other cities are working towards passing similar ordinances.
Mayor Leon said "we are very committed as a city council and staff to make Ontario the best place you can live."
According to recent reports, alcohol is the number one drug of choice for kids in America and accounts for approximately half of fatal teen automobile accidents. These startling facts, among others, helped Ontario City Council unanimously pass the Social Host Ordinance in 2008.
Leon also stated that teen alcohol consumption can creates a significant health and safety health issue for cities.
The Ordinance is a tool for the community and law enforcement to help reduce the availability of alcohol to underage youth by holding any property owner and/or adult who hosts an underage drinking party accountable her. This will provide another tool for parents and community members to ensure a safe, drug-free environment for local youth.
Father Alex Castillo of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church addressed the community and Officer Alvarez offered answers for the public on specific questions regarding the ordinance. Community members expressed interest as well as concerns about how consumption addressed the bigger issue of access to alcohol in the community.
Leon assured that as mayor of Ontario he understands and realizes the need to reduce access in the community and to youth, and he also felt that the city of Ontario focuses on the health and safety of the community more than any other city he knew. Mayor Leon challenged residents to help Ontario fight underage drinking and help make Ontario "a better place."
To get help strengthen the community through action or to get more information on underage drinking, contact Reach Out about joining the West End Gangs and Drugs Task Force.
Reach Out is a local non-profit focused on strengthening communities through youth enrichment programs, mentoring, prevention and intervention, and strategic collaboration. Since 1969 Reach Out has partnered with local schools, county agencies, and service providers to provide programs that create hope, education, and empowerment for young people and their families.
