Tips & Fan Reports
What fans who park here actually do, and what it cost them.
Park at the west garage for easy freeway access to the 110 and 5. Or walk 5 minutes in any direction from the arena and find a spot for half the price. The official lots are a ripoff.
If driving, approach from the south via I-110 to avoid the worst of DTLA surface-street congestion.
Rideshare drop-off is on Chick Hearn Court. Expect a 5-10 minute surge wait post-game.
The Metro A/E Line to Pico station is the stress-free option. $1.75 each way with a TAP card.
Pre-purchase parking online, garages sell out for Lakers and Clippers games.
Post-game, the West garage can take 30+ minutes to exit. The East garage or Convention Center lot clears faster.
