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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Since I started coming here as a kid, The Bowl feels so magically best-of-LA. It's been a bit…read moresince I've been here, and last night was a beautiful reminder of how special this place is. Our seats were up high in Prom 5, W2, but with the Bowl's acoustics and big screens, we missed absolutely nothing. Surrounded by the lyrics, sound, and the vibe of One Republic's collective, amazing talent, augmented with LA Phil's strings, plus the season's spectacular fireworks finale, I was swept away on a glorious wave of summertime joy that makes the Bowl under the stars the dream venue it is. I've had catered meals, ordered at the window, and brought my own food and beverages in before. It's the only place I can think of that is generous with its policies in this way. This also makes the Bowl exceptional. Tonight we opted for snacks as we'd already had dinner prior. We were glad for that, as it's pricey. We took a shuttle in from Schabarum Park in Rowland Heights. Reservations for this were made through the Hollywood Bowl's website. This makes traveling to and from exponentially smoother. Locations are available throughout LA county, and I would encourage anyone attending a concert here to go this route. I'll be back again next weekend. I can't wait.

My last visit to the Hollywood Bowl was in 2017 for "La La Land" in Concert so it has been a while…read more The Hollywood Bowl is one of the largest amphitheatres in the world and was opened in 1922. This century-old venue is quite big and can seat 17,500 audience members. Recently our party came here for the 2026 Summer Season and attended Joe Hisaishi's Film Music Concert (July 2026), Celebrating Gustavo at the Bowl: Foo Fighters with the LA Phil and YOLA (August 2026), and Fireworks Finale: OneRepublic (September 2026). [Onsite parking]: Lot B General - HB (2205 N Highland Ave & 9 min walk & 0.36 mi) = $60.50 & Lot D General - HB (6605 Odin St & 8 min walk & 0.35 mi) = $49.50. Since onsite parking is fairly expensive and can be sold out in advance, the venue offers other alternative transportation options. [Park & Ride]: For LA Phil Presented Events, visitors can purchase an advance online ticket (must be purchased by 10 AM the day before each concert) = $10 round-trip (including $1 per ticket fee) or day-of at the lot (cash only with exact change) = $15. For Lease Events, an advance online ticket = $12.45 or day-of at the lot (cash only with exact change) = $15. These Park & Ride locations are located all across LA County from Pasadena, Torrance, Chatsworth, etc. Upon leaving the venue, just follow the correct color code to get to the correct designated pickup spot for Park & Ride shuttles. [Bowl Shuttle at 4 locations - Burbank Metrolink, LA Zoo, Ovation Hollywood (formerly Hollywood & Highland), and Ventura Blvd (10801 Ventura Blvd)]: Free with a Metro or Metrolink ticket (travel must have occurred within the last two hours via bus or subway). For LA Phil Presented Events, an advance online ticket (must be purchased 1 hour before the concert) or day-of at the lot (cash or card) = $6 round-trip. Most visitors choose to park at LA Zoo as LA Zoo offers free onsite parking (Ovation Hollywood is the only one out of the four with paid onsite parking = $25 for event parking or 2 hours for $3 with validation at participating shops and restaurants + $2.50 for every 20 minutes). Advance ticket purchases for the Bowl Shuttle are not required as one of the staff members will have a portable payment device for onsite payment. Anyone who takes the shuttles is required to hop onto the shuttles within 25 minutes after the show is over or else they will need to find their own rides. The ride from LA Zoo to the venue was approximately 35 minutes with no traffic and the ride from Ovation Hollywood to the venue was approximately 20 minutes. [Amenities]: The venue actually has some good food and drink options (e.g. Just Ice Tea, Magpies Softserve, etc.). With that being said, the venue actually allows audience members to bring outside food and drinks to some events. American Express cardholders get a separate entry and lounge access. In addition, any visitor can rent a seat cushion for $1 each (or free for American Express cardholders) as seats at the Bowl are pretty firm. Once the concert is over, just leave the seat cushion behind and the cleanup crew will return the cushion for you. Is the sound too loud? I was able to get free earplugs by asking one of the staff members at the seating sections. [Viewing]: Seating sections L to P had decent views as I was able to see what was happening on stage through one of the multiple monitors on the side of the seating sections L to P. While seating sections Q to U were inexpensive, it was quite difficult to see the actual stage and there are no monitors at sections Q to U. [Conclusion]: This is a beautiful venue with a great crowd atmosphere. The transportation situation is a bit annoying, but once you figure out the ins and outs then getting to the venue is fairly straightforward. Personally, this is one of the better performance venues in Los Angeles with above-average food / drink options and multiple transportation options. P.S. - Since this is an outdoor venue, I highly recommend bringing an extra jacket as the temperature can drop quickly after sunset and it can get quite chilly.

Well this year, getting in the stadium was pretty easy with a parking pass. It was a long walk to and from the gate but we managed. It was easy accessing the suite and everyone working there was super helpful. The boys actually engaged more this year and kept talking about participating in the wave twice! They loved the sweets cart that came by and the staff kept the dodger dogs, sodas and waters stocked. The suite was nice and clean upon arrival. It had a big screen tv and like 5 monitors by the ceiling that we changed to college football. We did leave around the bottom of the 7th inning just to beat the rush leaving the stadium at the expense of the Dodgers hitting a 3 run homer while we were in the parking lot walking to our car smh. Overall, Dodger games are great for all ages and we had a blast. I just wish we had better parking. I guess we have to leave earlier to get the good parking. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros

There's a buffet style setup with all kinds of food from pasta to salads to different meats, and everything we tried was really good. There's also a full bar inside and the club is air conditioned! We were thankful for this especially since it was such a hot day. The service was really good throughout our visit. Everyone we interacted with was friendly. Even the bathrooms were tidy, which is always a huge plus in my book. Overall, we had such a great time and would love to come back to enjoy another game. P.S. there is a shuttle from Union Station that drops you off right in front of the gates, so there are additional parking options than just parking at the stadium. Parking is around $8 at Union Station.
