Capacity
19,068
Crypto.com Arena has a classic bowl design with three main levels: the 100-level lower bowl, the 200-level Premier club, and the 300-level upper deck. With a 19,068 capacity, even the upper deck feels relatively close to the court compared to NFL stadiums. The arena was designed for basketball, so sightlines are excellent throughout. The biggest factor in the Lakers experience is which section you're in, courtside is a different universe from the 300s.
