I really liked our seats. The Delta 360 has a nice bar area with M&Ms and jelly beans, and everything in there is really nice. The popcorn hit the spot. 1 I had the chicken tenders and they were very good. Watching the people dance at halftime was absolutely fantastic on HBCU Night. I was able to find parking without a problem, and it all went very well. The facilities are nice, and everyone from the staff to the security was very kind. I can't complain, I had an absolutely great time. Five stars. I A Blessings, Architect

This was my first time at this arena ... I love the layout for concerts! This was as close as I've…read moreever been to the stage. I've had a row 1 seat at other venues but found myself much further away. The stage isn't huge, but it was more than enough for the four members of MAMAMOO and their six (four women, two men) dancers. Now the bad: The concessions, save for the automats "selling drinks and packaged snacks" didn't open until 6:30pm. I found the food and drink offerings to be extremely limited: pretzels, hot dogs, smash burgers, chicken tenders, pizza. I could not find a place that offered a gin & tonic. The doors opened at 6:30pm and the concert started at 7:30pm, leaving scant time to find and consume food and drink. There was an AMEX lounge two floors up, but their list of "free" drinks was limited (no gin & tonic), and I didn't see any food offerings. Alas, I suppose this is the downside of a smaller venue. I paid $23.59 for a 20oz can of Sapporo Draft from an automat and $34.05 for very sub-par chicken tenders, soggy fries and a can of Diet Coke. The chicken tenders came sans any sauce. There was a ketchup dispenser ... Uh, that's not sauce! I never found a place selling pizza and at least two venues weren't open, Ludobab and Trois Familia. Thus, I found Crypto.com sub-par for food and drink. Venue rating: 4.5. Food & drink rating: 2.5.

Saw my 3rd LAFC match here, this time coming with my brother, my daughter's father-in-law and two…read morebrother-in-laws. LAFC was playing Portland Timbers, and the '3252' fan section was in full force throughout the match. I was the only goof who forgot their Son jersey at home in our party of five. The match ended in a 1-1 draw. As expected, there were a lot of ethnic Koreans at this game, most wearing their Son jerseys as well. Noticed for the first time that at the Alley concession stand, that umma kitchen kimbap was available for $12, and gimmie seaweed for $5. The only new thing to report is that certain concession stands now offer $5 Modelo cans, limit 2 cans per person per transaction. A scan of your driver's license is required, and tax is not included, so the total was a bit over $11 (no cash accepted in the entire stadium). Our group of five got ours during intermission (halftime). As one would expect, there were long lines which moved relatively fast, but still required us to miss the first couple of minutes of the 2nd half (yeah, we were that annoying group that messed up other people's sightlines during play, though we certainly were not the only ones). Note: Pacifico is owned Grupo Modelo, which also owns Modelo (now the most popular beer in the U.S.) and Corona (top ten). Grupo Modelo is a part of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewing company. However in the U.S., it is owned by Constellation Brands (the beers are still brewed in Mexico by InBev, but marketed and sold by Constellation in the U.S.)

This stadium is so central! Really easy to get to and traffic was not bad. Came for an LAFC game…read more Parked at USC and walked over. There was a lot of people for the Saturday game. It was a lot of fun. The stadium is like new. But the people going can be rough. Not sure if it was the issue with the opposing team, but people got frustrated with the male restroom line. I would come again if I like soccer.

Went to the Galen Center for a volleyball game, USC vs Fort Valley State. Very nice experience…read more Getting in was smooth, security was organized, and the staff were friendly. The building itself is clean, modern, and a good place to watch a game. Volleyball match was fun and the atmosphere was good without being too hectic. Overall, a solid venue for college sports. I am giving the Galen Center 4 stars.

I was surprised that they had chili cheese Fritos that was a bonus right there. I will definitely be back to watch juju and the lady Trojan's ball. my only complaint is they ran out of a lot of stuff. I waited in two lines for nachos and when I got to the counter, they were out they should've let everybody know in line that they were out so you didn't have to wait in a long line to get disappointed once you got to the check stand.

Unsanitary! Wait til the end:…read moreThere's definitely nothing "Lexus" about this establishment. Came here yesterday, for the Lakers final game of the season, and was invited to the buffet. Even though it was free, it was awful. Beef short ribs were plain and not braised completely, chewy. The sauce was unexplainable. The Mac salad had ridiculously huge chunks of pineapple in it which did not make sense. The " chow mein" had flecks of spam and some disgusting vinegary sauce. Huli-Huli chicken was a definite insult to the traditional Hawaiian dish. Caesar salad was wet and runny. Furikake potatoes made no sense. The cod was awful, rubbery and not good. BUT the charcuterie: prosciutto, Mortadella(bologna), and salami was delicious/but all three were cut too thick. Bad for food cost . Eat the stadium food instead. Better. A lot better. When you arrive, the buffet has no tables. There is a plate they bring to you. And apparently they exchange as you go back. NOT: We, actually my friends and other patrons, were returning to the buffet with the same dirty plates multiple times. And anyone in food service knows this is against Ca. Food regulations! The staff should've grabbed or exchanged their plates, especially the person at the carving station.

Friday 04.10 2026 Lakers vs Suns Game…read more I had VIP ticket access to the Lexus Club. This club is private to general ticket goers. Was greeted and wrist stamped. Great atmosphere and ambiance. You have the options to go to two bars and their patio lounge area. Keep in mind that there is nothing free at this lounge. You must pay what you order. From Scanned Barcodes to buffets, payment is applied. The only advantages I see this lounge for is privacy to the restrooms and privacy to grear conversations that applies to business get togethers or dates. Nothing special to offer but relaxation and chill. Cool ambiance, reminds me of the roaring 40s theme. Old school but modern. Great view of LA Live from the outside seating area. Good to go if you are given the opportunity. Our waitress was alittle slow. She could of been more attentive to our needs. Overall cool place. Drink prices are the same inside or outside of the Lexus club. The only difference is this club has a $87 buffet per person. Literally expensive for the average minimum wage joe.

After living in DTLA for years, I finally checked out Dark Nights at LA Live. I came for the 10th…read moreyear birthday anniversary. I love the vibe. It's a street fair with live performers - music, dancers, and artists to speciality shops. There were a ton of selfie stations and photo opportunities. I love that most of the restaurant a participate in $5 food and drink specials all night. My friend and I checked out each restaurant and menu and we decided to go with Rosa Mexicana. We got a prime seat in the bar to watch the Warriors-Cleveland game and make our bellies happy. We were able to order of the dark night menu and the happy hour menu if you get there early enough. If not, the small plates menu is awesome. We ordered off of everything. The $5 Palomas. Happy taste buds! If you don't care about dual happy hour and dark night menus, I recommend coming when the sunsets. That's when LA Live lights up with all the neon lights. Regardless, it's cool either way!

Dark Nights is a great event for friends, families, couples, or anyone who wants to try something…read morefun! Taking place at L.A. Live, there's definitely something for everyone here. Select restaurants in the area offer special $5 menus so you can sample pricey food without breaking the bank. While walking around you can see muralists painting right in the front of you but don't get too close though (smell of paint is strong!). There's an abundance of photo ops around Dark Nights. It's a little hard to see where the line begins at certain places because there's people everywhere, so look around before you accidentally cut in line! Lining the main plaza are vendors selling everything from jewelry to art. It was great seeing so many artists in one place, providing a vast spectrum of art and styles to choose from. There were plenty of performance artists showing off and having a good time. It was fun seeing people jump rope with LED rope. Speaking of lights - so many lights everywhere constantly changing colors! Between that and the dance music, the sensory overload was overwhelming at times! Dark Nights is so much fun! Visit the discounted restaurants and then enjoy all the entertainment L.A. Live has to offer! I can't wait to return in the future!

Honestly - I'd rather attend an event here than the brand new $5 billion dollar dump called Sofi…read more Yes it's old but they have a lot going for them. The new seats and cement work is outstanding. The food is pretty decent for a stadium, again better than Sofi. I also appreciate how easy it is to get here via the LA Metro. For concerts and football - this place is the best stadium in Los Angeles (and Inglewood and Pasadena) no doubt.

Getting to the event was super easy since I took the metro system in from El Monte, so I didn't have to hassle driving in traffic or parking. The event was only $17.76 per ticket and included a pre block party with complimentary food, beverages and many giveaways by sponsors. The concert was hosted by Queen Latifah. There were marching bands, choirs, and the concert included Chaka Khan, the Smashing Pumpkins and Chris Stapleton. I was impressed with the sound system here at the Coliseum and the views of the city were spectacular from my seats. After the concert there was an incredible drone show and fireworks celebration for America's birthday. I would definitely return here again for another concert or venue in the future.

I have been coming to the Hollywood Bowl for more than 40 years- it is an amazing experience and…read morecountless great memories. As they have tried to update the venue the challenge is usually the same issues....how can you get a large group of people safely into a tight location in the hills - amazing place to see a concert but parking or trams are not easy- I have tried it all , parking at the site - not good if you get stuck behind a car that doesn't leave right away- schedule buses are not easy either- when concert is over they try to max load them with standing patrons which is not all that safe and causes lots of delays in getting out of there. Last week we saw Santana and Dobbie brothers and it's was a sold out - parked at LA Zoo for Schuttle bus - my suggestion is if they could get some lights into that lot and have 3 people to direct people out it would make a huge difference. 11:30pm in the dark trying to find your car with aisles of merging traffic is not good. I however will tell you the staff for group sales are amazing! I put together a large group for smooth jazz every year and they are the best to work with, help you even get better seats along the way. Love them!

He's also incapable of running the auctions smoothly and constantly makes mistakes.

I remember a few times trying to check in and couldn't because it kept saying too many people checked in so they disallowed it. If you ask what's one of the things that defines LA, it's Dodgers stadium. I mean yes it's old and yes it's not as comfortable as other newer baseball stadium like other states but it's one of the icons of LA! I just love the way LA Dodgers stadium is. There are plenty of free parking area if you go early enough. Over the years, with season ticket holders, we usually try to come early and not pay for parking anymore and it always work! Early entry also can get you in a lot pretty fast if there are days you just want to go for the bobble head, just like today! September 6, 2026, the day when it poured like crazy and we were soaked just walking for a short distance! And there were water and puddles everywhere and some merch store even got flooded and you realize oh okay this is the difference between a brand new stadium vs an older stadium..All for The Catch bobble head of Andy Pages and Kike!!
