Currently, Roski is the CEO & chairman of Majestic Realty Co., one of country's largest national real estate development firms. His funds helped to build the Staples Center with Philip Anschutz and he is a minority owner of NBA basketball's Los Angeles Lakers and NHL hockey's Los Angeles Kings.

In March, 2006 Roski and his wife gave $23 million to the University of Southern California School of Fine Arts, which is the largest amount of money given to any art school in the United States. In recognition of this, the school was renamed the "University of Southern California Gayle Garner Roski School of Fine Arts", named after his wife, a renowned artist in the Los Angeles area.

[h1]Clippers And STAPLES Center Reach Lease Agreement
[/h1]

Posted: October 28th, 2004

The Clippers will continue to take the floor at STAPLES Center for years to come.

Team Enters Into Ten-Year Deal to Remain at STAPLES Center

The Clippers today announced that the club has entered into a ten-year lease agreement with AEG, owners and operators of STAPLES Center.

"We are very pleased to announce this agreement, and to be able to ensure that our fans will enjoy the long-term comfort and stability that goes along with making STAPLES Center our home," Clippers Executive Vice President Andy Roeser said.

The upcoming 2004-05 season marks the Clippers' sixth at STAPLES Center. The team moved its operations there when the building opened in 1999, and has drawn an average of more than 650,000 fans per season.

Roeser continued, "We have made every effort to provide the ultimate consumer experience to the more-than 3.5 million fans who have attended our games during our five seasons at STAPLES. We are greatly aided in accomplishing that goal by Phil Anschutz, Ed Roski, Tim Leiweke and all of the very talented people at STAPLES Center who contribute to the building's overwhelming success."

"We look forward to even greater days ahead, as we begin this next exciting chapter of our partnership."

According to STAPLES Center and AEG President and CEO Timothy J. Leiweke, "The Los Angeles Clippers have been an important part of the unique experience that STAPLES Center has become known for during our arena's first five years. Our entire AEG organization is very pleased that the Clippers, one of our original three anchor tenants, will continue to be part of our family and tradition for the next ten years."

"Our goal has always been to operate the world's most important and certainly most busy arena and this long-term agreement from our partners will certainly ensure this. We congratulate Donald T. Sterling, Andy Roeser and Elgin Baylor for their commitment to our venue, our city and to building a playoff contender," Leiweke added.

The agreement goes into effect immediately. No other terms were disclosed.

That's not mean the Lakers own the Staples Center.

lol, i didn't know dr. buss owned staples center

lakers are co-tenants, relax.

Word? We share the joint evenly, is that what you sayin?

Cuz one hallway looks good, the other one? Not so much.

its a pity when a WNBA team has more banners than you guys do

(word to ska)...co-tenants?...didnt the cLips just extended their LEASE to 5 or 6 more years?...and i think dr. buss does have some ownership for the center...so you guys are paying us to use our house

...if somehow you forget whos house it is just LOOK UP and you see whos house it is...i know for sure LA's other team is used to Lookin' up to us anyways

do the lakers pay rent? if so then they're co-tenants. plain and simple.

You're right they do, technically. But I believe when the Staples Center originally opened the Lakers and Kings both signed 25 year leaseswhile the Clips signed for a 6 year. I believe in 2004, there was an agreement reached adding another 10 year lease at Staples for the Clips.

But if anything, the Lakers hold more weight than the Clips in regards to making a name for the Staples Center.

 

[krey1231]

I'll be there tonight. Can't wait.

 

[rock la familia]

wow dude, do u even read what you paste?

the developer who built staples owns part of the lakers...

from that how do u get that the lakers own staples?


kb8, i just said their co-tenants that's all. it's the dude above you getting all excited

Oh he certainly will my friend.

 

[kb8sandiego]

Here's the perfect analogy:

Staples Center = Estate

The Lakers live in the main house while the Clippers live in the pool house.

 

[marath0n]

The Lakers have a 25 year lease on the Staples Center
http://articles.latimes.c...98/sep/29/sports/sp-27641

way to know your stuff

 

[rock la familia]

geez you laker fans are getty pretty petty. lakers pay rent just like everybody else. sure staples is associated w/ them more then the clippers. this wholething started when that one dude said the lakers literally owned staples which they do not. he really thought the lakers didn't pay rent.

relax, watch the game and enjoy

I was trying really hard not to repond to the garbage he was posting

.

I expect something along the lines of "man, if only T-Mac had the team that Kobe has" to come up pretty soon.

Oh, you know he breakin out that line real quick. Damn thing outta be in his sig. shiiiii

I think my fav was how he was pointing out that teams will be able to shoot 3's on us all year because we don't close out at all, teams will exploitus. Ya know, cuz it happened twice.

That's like seein a team get a breakaway and sayin the other team won't win jack because they can't stop run outs.

 

[sundoobie]

relax, watch the game and enjoy
I know. I am going to the game tonight and all I gotta say is Laker fans need to just chill with the boos. Last season, Laker fans sounded likea bunch of Raider fans boooing everything from a little girl rocking a Clipper jersey, the Clipper Spirit Cheerleading team, Clipper Darrell, etc.

I live in LA and support both squads and it's just poor taste for Laker fans to have to do that especially if they are winning.

 

[rock la familia]

yeah seriously u laker fans who want to argue about that crap make ur own thread, i just want to talk about the game. the season just started and i'm readyfor some good basketball. you guys want to bicker, then go ahead do it somewhere else

That's not mean the Lakers own the Staples Center.

The Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) is a sporting and music entertainment presenter and a subsidiary of The Anschutz Corporation. The company owns or operates several major entertainment/sporting venues, including Staples Center and the Home Depot Center and beginning in fall 2007, the XL Center and Rentschler Field. In England they used to operate the Manchester Evening News Arena until 2006, and currently operate the The O[sub]2[/sub] which includes a 20,000 capacity arena and an Entertainment District with 25 bars and restaurants, a live music club for 2200 called IndigO[sub]2[/sub], an 11 screen cinema and an exhibition space which will house the King Tut exhibition opening in November 2007. Several other similar entertainment complexes are also being planned worldwide including the O2 World in Berlin and an entertainment complex around the existing Staples Center.

As part of the development of The O[sub]2[/sub], Anschutz also purchased the London river service company Thames Clipper, to provide transport links using the river service to and from Central London and the Dome.

The company also owns a number of sports teams, including Los Angeles Galaxy, Houston Dynamo (50 %), Los Angeles Kings, Los Angeles Riptide, Manchester Monarchs, Eisbären Berlin, Hamburg Freezers, 49 % of Hammarby IF Fotboll, as well as interests in the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Sparks. The company also purchased the Champions on Ice figure skating tour in 2006. They also own 12 % of Djurgårdens IF Hockey.

The company makes a significant amount of its money by leveraging its sports interests, already significant earners, by using the stadia in which these teams play to host various other entertainment events, most notably concerts. Indeed, Philip Anschutz created the company by buying up several small local promoters in Los Angeles in order to fill up the schedule for his new sports venue, STAPLES Center. It is now the second-largest event promoter in the United States.

AEG is the world's largest owner of sports teams and sports events, the owner of the world's most profitable sports and entertainment venues, and under AEG Live is the world's second largest presenter of live music and entertainment events after Live Nation.

In August 2007, AEG announced plans with Harrah's Entertainment to build a privately-financed 20,000-seat arena in Las Vegas on the Strip [sup][1][/sup] on Harrah's land located directly behind the Bally's Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas resorts.

AEG who is the majority owner/operates the center owns a percentage of the Lakers...basicaLLy i couLdnt find anything on Lakers and kings payingrent or Leasing the center...so yehh have fun

 

[tupac003]

Crap like this is why laker fans are hated....

I could care less who owns the staples center.

The lakers are the hot team so they will have more fans there...

When the clippers got to the second round that one year...Staples was 50/50....

I was there...trust me.

It doesn't matter. Let's just go out there and get a win.

Everyone in here is taking what I said seriously which is ridiculous. Of course I know the Buss family doesn't own staples. Obviously if theydid it would be called the Buss center. I used the whole rent/eviction terminology as a metaphor. A la ... as USC fans we usually talk about how we own theRose Bowl and how UCLA just plays there.

 

[vietishi]

I'm liking Kobe's new style of play now

Lakers 2-0
