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.

From Pico, walk one block west and then two blocks north on Figueroa to L.A. LIVE.

Metro's A and E Lines serve Pico Station, with a rail fare of $1.75.

The walk is the same from every line: one block west on Pico, right on Figueroa, two blocks north.

Every parking lot has its own street address. Route to the lot, not the arena.

Pico Station is the stop, and four rail lines reach it: A, C, D and E.

DASH Route F stops on Figueroa right alongside L.A. LIVE.

From LAX take the C Line and change at Willowbrook/Rosa Parks onto the A.

Getting There

Crypto.com Arena publishes the walk from the station rather than the route to the car park, and it is the same walk whichever line you arrive on: four Metro rail lines converge at Pico Station, one block east of the arena. Driving gets an address and a recommendation to use Waze, nothing more.

Driving
The arena publishes no freeway route, recommending Waze for the approach and real-time traffic. It is at 1111 S. Figueroa Street adjacent to L.A. LIVE, and each lot has its own address: Lot 1 and Southwest VIP at 900 Chick Hearn Ct, Lot W the West Garage on Chick Hearn Ct and Georgia St, Lot E the East Garage at 888 W. Olympic Blvd, Lot C at 1145 L.A. LIVE Way, Lot 4 at 944 Georgia St and Lot 12 at 832 Francisco St.
Public Transit
The A, C, D and E Lines all converge at Pico Station, which is the stop for the arena. From the South Bay or LAX, take the C Line toward Norwalk and change at Willowbrook/Rosa Parks to the A Line toward Azusa. From North Hollywood or Hollywood, take the B Line to 7th St/Metro Center and transfer to the A or E Line. Metro bus lines 28, 30, 81, 460 and the J Line stop near L.A. LIVE, and DASH Route F has several stops on Figueroa Street alongside it. Metrolink and Amtrak both reach Union Station, where Metro Rail connects.
Walking
From Pico Station, walk one block west on Pico Blvd, turn right on Figueroa, and L.A. LIVE is two blocks north on the left.
