A Guide to Crypto.com Arena

As the centerpiece of the L.A. Live entertainment district, Crypto.com Arena remains a premier destination for world-class sports and live entertainment in Downtown Los Angeles. Since opening its doors in 1999, the venue has served as a historic stage for Los Angeles sports, hosting multiple NBA and WNBA championships for the Lakers and Sparks, as well as the Los Angeles Kings' rise to NHL prominence with Stanley Cup victories in 2012 and 2014. Following a massive, multi-year renovation completed for the 2026 season, the arena has been modernized into a cutting-edge facility that honors its legacy as one of the busiest and most iconic venues in North America.

For on-site parking, the West Garage (Lot W) is recommended for long-term event parking and is best reached through Gate B on Chick Hearn Ct. or Gates E and F on Georgia Street, while the East Garage (Lot E) at 888 W. Olympic Blvd is better suited for shorter stays. Visitors can also utilize the North and South Hall garages at the Los Angeles Convention Center for overflow capacity.

Pregame Festivities

L.A. Live provides a self-contained pregame ecosystem, and the surrounding downtown LA neighborhoods. South Park, the Fashion District, and Little Tokyo expand the options considerably.
