Hear Ye! Hear Ye! On Thursday March 4th,  join the Vick the Brick, between 5:00PM and 7:00PM, and the Lakers Nation’s friends and family at the newly opened Bullseye Bar at the Black Angus Steakhouse in Northridge, and watch our Los Angeles Lakers do battle in Miami against the Heat.

Worried they won’t be enough televisions for this madness? Have no worries, since they have 11 High-Def televisions to accommodate everybody that joins us!

If meeting Vic the Brick and watching the game with your TLN friends and family isn’t enough for you to be there, how about a chance to win tickets to Staples Center to watch the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Utah Jazz… and many many other cool prizes. So yeah, you pretty much have to be there.

So please join us at the Bullseye Bar’s GRAND OPENING and enjoy 60 ounce domestic draft beer pitchers for only $9.99 all month long!

Charles AllenIn an effort to pay tribute to the men and women who have fought for our country, and give back to those who have incurred a debilitating injury, AM570 KLAC will honor U.S. military veterans on November 12th by hosting a commercial-free radiothon from noon-11 p.m. PT.

KLAC has set a goal of $100,000 and all proceeds will benefit the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA), an organization dedicated to providing rehabilitation, access to medical services, and continuing research in finding a cure for spinal cord injury and disease. The station is encouraging listeners to reflect on all the securities our nation’s military has provided to this great country, and to let our veterans know how much we value their service.

If you would like to donate now you can e-mail, click here, or bid on items in our silent auction!

How will your donation help?

PVA’s Mission -

The Paralyzed Veterans of America, a congressionally chartered veterans service organization founded in 1946, has developed a unique expertise on a wide variety of issues involving the special needs of our members—veterans of the armed forces who have experienced spinal cord injury or dysfunction.

Paralyzed Veterans will use that expertise to be the leading advocate for…

  • Quality health care for our members,
  • Research and education addressing spinal cord injury and dysfunction,
  • Benefits available as a result of our members’ military service,
  • Civil rights and opportunities which maximize the independence of our members.

Hey Lakers fans, as you can clearly see, we’ve begun the beta stages for 2.1 on our new site design.

We listened to your concerns and have brought back one of the reasons why the Lakers Nation is your best Los Angeles Lakers news source on the Internet; we made it more simple for you to view the news.

As always, they are a few kinks to be worked on, but we’ll be working on them through out the off-season.

Again, we’re still in the beta stages. Please give us your feedback at TheLakersNation@gmail.com.

Thank you.

Special thanks to Weps from the Lakers Nation forums for helping us out!

The first 95,000 fans to arrive at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum will be invited inside to attend a ceremony during which City and team officials, Coach Phil Jackson and several players will address the crowd. Coliseum gates will open beginning at 9:30 AM for early arriving fans who will be able to watch the parade on giant video screens in addition to being entertained by the Laker Girls and other special guests.

Please be aware of the following street closures planned for Wednesday, June 17th.  Figueroa will be closed from Olympic to Exposition Park from 8am-12pm. Chick Hearn Court will be closed from 9am-4pm.  Cherry will be closed from Pico to Olympic from 9am-2pm.  In addition the Exposition Blvd, Martin Luther King Blvd, Adams and Olympic exits from the 110 freeway will be closed from 10am until the end of the parade.
