About Crypto.com Arena

Home to two NBA teams, an NHL team, and a WNBA team, Crypto.com Arena (formerly Staples Center) is one of the busiest venues in the country holding over 250 events a year. Located next to the LA Convention Center and the Microsoft Theatre, this complex completely revitalized the neighborhood and made it a hot spot of LA.

Fan Tips

Crypto.com Arena sits at the center of LA Live, making it one of the most entertainment-driven venues in sports. The area surrounding the arena is active well before tip-off.

Fans often arrive early to explore LA Live, where restaurants, bars, and large public spaces create a strong pregame atmosphere.

Inside, the arena delivers a premium experience with modern seating, strong sightlines, and a high-energy crowd during marquee events.

Food options range from standard concessions to upscale offerings, reflecting the arena’s high-profile location.

After the game, the surrounding district remains lively, making it easy to transition from the game into nightlife and entertainment.

Security Screenings

Like almost all US and Canadian Stadiums, you will need to enter through a metal detector before entering the stadium.  Be sure to give yourself extra time and don't bring any weapons or devices that could be seen as a weapon inside.  Pat down searches may be required.

Bag Policy

All bags larger than 14"x14"x6" such as backpacks, suitcases, beach bags, etc. will be prohibited from entry into the arena.  All bags are subject to inspection before entry.

Note: Bag and security policies listed above are for typical sporting events. Special events, concerts, and other situations may result in variations. Please check the event website for any changes.

Getting to Crypto.com Arena

Public Transit: The 30, 81, 439, 442, 460 bus lines run near the stadium.  Please see the METRO website to plan your trip. The Pico Station on Pico Blvd (southeast of the arena) is within walking distance of the stadium. Use either the Blue or Expo lines to get there.
