First game for the Los Angeles Sparks franchise
The Los Angeles Sparks hosted the New York Liberty in the very first game in WNBA history on June 21, 1997, at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood. A crowd of 14,284 packed the arena as the league tipped off, with Sparks guard Penny Toler scoring the first basket in WNBA history. The Sparks fell 57-67 but helped launch a league that would transform women's professional basketball.

Home venues in Ticket Timeline's game data
Buildings the Sparks have called home in the attendance data Ticket Timeline uses—useful when an old ticket names a different arena or an earlier naming-rights label for the same downtown L.A. building.
- Former home: Great Western Forum ("The Forum"), Inglewood, CA (1997–2000)
- Current home: Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles, CA (2001–present)
Ticket Timeline's game data covers Sparks home arenas from 1997, one of the WNBA's original franchises, with gaps where source rows do not connect continuously.
If your ticket says Staples Center, that's the same building under an earlier name.
The Sparks' current downtown home opened in 1999 as Staples Center and was renamed Crypto.com Arena in December 2021—so a Staples Center ticket and a Crypto.com Arena ticket both name the same building.
Los Angeles Sparks play home games at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, CA, USA. Dates for those nights are anchored in Pacific time. The building list above is what Ticket Timeline uses when an older ticket names a former arena or an earlier name of the same building.
Rebuild your Sparks history
Use that timeline when dating a night: the Forum (1997–2000) is a separate building in Inglewood, while Staples Center and Crypto.com Arena are the same downtown building under two names. Rebuilding Sparks attendance is usually a scavenger hunt: paper tickets and PDF confirmations, camera-roll scoreboard dates, calendar invites, season-ticket statements, and memory anchors (companions, rivals, life events, arena names on stubs). Work season by season; a partial list of attended games is enough to start matching opponents and arenas. When confirmations live in Gmail, import games you've attended walks through a read-only preview before anything is committed. For a shoebox of stubs, see what to do with old ticket stubs.
- Old paper tickets and digital PDFs
- Email receipts and order confirmations
- Camera-roll photos with visible dates or scoreboards
- Calendar entries and season-ticket records
- Memory anchors: opponents, companions, venues, life events
- Forum clues (1997–2000)—a former home building in Inglewood
- Staples Center nights (2001–2021)—the same building later renamed Crypto.com Arena
- Crypto.com Arena nights (2021–present)—current home in Ticket Timeline's data
What your Sparks archive unlocks
Once you've logged Sparks games you attended, Ticket Timeline surfaces the attendance story—not a live scoreboard. Visited insights can include the Forum (1997–2000) and Crypto.com Arena, known as Staples Center through 2021 (2001–present).

At Crypto.com Arena
Sparks home games today are at Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles. The Forum era and the Staples Center years at the same building live in the venue timeline above—use those when an old ticket doesn't say Crypto.com Arena.
How Ticket Timeline connects your Sparks games
Add Sparks games from memory, import a spreadsheet, or scan ticket stubs. Ticket Timeline links each attended game to WNBA context—teams, arenas, players, and notable moments—so nights at Crypto.com Arena and earlier become a browsable Los Angeles Sparks archive. Primary focus on this page: importing past attendance.
Bring your Sparks spreadsheet into a lasting archive
If your Sparks attendance still lives in Sheets, CSV rows, stubs, or memory of the Forum or Staples Center, Ticket Timeline is built for migration. Import what you can, fill gaps manually, and keep attended games exportable across seasons.
A memory worth recovering
If you were there when the Sparks still called the Forum home, that stub names a different building from downtown L.A.—not a typo for Crypto.com Arena. When you import spreadsheet rows, a venue column that says Forum, Staples Center, or Crypto.com can separate those eras without retyping every Sparks date.

Can I import years of Sparks history from a spreadsheet or Gmail?
Yes. You can import a spreadsheet of attended Sparks games, and Ticket Timeline also supports finding games from Gmail ticket confirmations with a read-only, preview-before-commit flow. That makes it easier to reconstruct years of history without retyping every date.
Does Ticket Timeline sell tickets?
