Laker stadium lights affecting the noise in the crowd

Has anyone notices the last two to three years that staples center had probaly the darkest lighting in the nba. They call it stadium lighting to make "when your there" look like your watching a play or a movie, but my question is when you watch a movie or play you are quiet, darkness makes you quiet so why would you want to quiet your home crowd. Sure maybe a little bit of darker lights in the seating would be good but not enough to take the crowd out of the game.
