Map: Crypto.com Arena (Staples Center) and the listed hotels
Getting to Crypto.com Arena (Staples Center)
On event night, rideshare pickup and drop off happens in two official white zones, one on Chick Hearn Court and one on Figueroa Street, both close to the main entrances and police-enforced. Expect longer waits and surge pricing once the game or show ends, so many fans walk a few blocks or grab a drink first. Drivers can use arena lots, with Lot 1 and Lot C opening two and a half hours ahead and other lots ninety minutes before, though there is no overnight parking. Arriving by train, Metrolink and Amtrak passengers change at Union Station onto the Metro B or D Line, then the A Line to Pico Station, which is about a four-minute walk from the arena.
Two official rideshare zones on Chick Hearn Court and Figueroa Street
Crypto.com Arena has two designated rideshare pickup and drop off white zones, one on Chick Hearn Court eastbound between LA Live Way and Georgia Street and one on Figueroa Street. Both zones sit just steps from the main arena entrances and are enforced by police.
Expect longer waits and surge pricing after events
After the game or show rideshare demand increases significantly leading to longer wait times and higher surge prices. Many fans walk a few blocks away from the arena or wait at a nearby bar before requesting a ride to reduce delays.
Official arena lots open ahead of events with limited overnight rules
Parking Lot 1 and Lot C open two and a half hours before an event while all other official lots open ninety minutes before and remain staffed for sixty minutes afterwards. There are about 3,300 arena owned parking spaces plus over 10,000 further spaces within a seven to ten minute walk in privately run lots, and no overnight parking or in and out privileges are permitted.
Metrolink and Amtrak connect via Union Station then Metro Rail
Metrolink and Amtrak trains arrive at Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles, where passengers transfer onto the Metro B or D Line for a few stops to 7th Street or Metro Center Station and then the A Line one stop to Pico Station near the arena. Metrolink weekend passes include free connections onto nearby Metro bus and rail lines.
Short walk from Pico Station platform to the arena entrances
From Pico Station it is a walk of about four minutes and roughly a fifth of a mile turning from Flower Street onto West 12th Street to reach the arena. This makes Pico Station the most convenient rail option for a big event night.
