The hockey game was a kings vs ducks game (go ducks!) and was also fun. The arena is also nice overall I think one of my top tier arenas (but the ducks one is higher lmao) (also i went to the Sparks game when it was Dodger Night!) Kings game: 2023 Sparks game: 2025

I purchased the special ticket package that included a bucket hat and arrived early to be one of the first 5,000 fans to receive the Hello Kitty blind box giveaway. I was pleasantly surprised by how organized everything was. The staff did a great job regulating the number of people going through security, which helped keep the entrance process smooth despite the large crowd. I always bring a clear bag to sporting events hoping to get through security a little faster, but I still got pulled aside for an additional bag check. It was a little frustrating since it slowed down the process, especially when I noticed other guests with larger, non-clear bags weren't being stopped. Thankfully, I still made it in early enough to receive the Hello Kitty blind box. I even managed to catch one of the free T-shirts during the T-shirt toss, which was a fun surprise. Once inside, I picked up my bucket hat before the game. The pickup line itself was well organized, but the area felt more crowded than it needed to be since the Hello Kitty meet-and-greet and photo opportunities were in the same space. Even though the Sparks lost, it was still a fun first Hello Kitty Night, and I'd definitely consider coming back for another themed game in the future.

    I went to BMO Stadium today for the LAFC match against the El Salvador national team, and my family…read morehad a great time. This was my first experience with general admission at BMO. I didn't mind the format, but it did create a lot of traffic in the aisles while people searched for seats. Once we settled in, the energy in the stadium was fantastic. Half the stadium was closed, so food choices were limited, but everything we tried was solid. The nachos were on point as always, the tater tots were great, and we also grabbed a couple of hot dogs and a Dole Whip. The Dole Whip was a fun surprise and hit the spot on a warm day. The facility itself is impressively clean. Both the men's and women's restrooms were immaculate, which is something I really appreciate at a busy event. Staff throughout the stadium were friendly and helpful. Prices were what you'd expect for a modern venue given labor costs. Parking was steep at $65, but overall the experience was worth it. My family really enjoyed the game, especially since LAFC won. Even with a few logistical quirks, it was a fun day and a strong showing from the stadium and the team.

    Recently went to my first game at BMO Stadium to watch Los Angeles FC, and the experience was…read morehonestly unforgettable. The energy in the stadium was unmatched being around The 3252 is something you have to experience at least once. From start to finish, they never sit down or stop chanting, and it completely changes the atmosphere. The crowd overall was really friendly, which made the whole experience even better. I sat in the BMO Football Club section, and the food options were impressive. There was a huge variety, and it felt like everything was included. The team itself showed a lot of talent on the field, which made the game exciting from beginning to end. Plus, the location is perfect--right in Downtown Los Angeles next to USC, so it adds to the whole vibe of the night. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to! Thinking of getting season ticket's!

    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.

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!

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 history and architecture provided a fabulous backdrop for the performers. Looking at the field where so many historic wins occurred sent chills down my spine. It is being worked on to prepare it for another Olympics but the parts which are open - the Court of Honor, the Olympic Gateway, the tribute floor tiles and the Olympic Gateway statues by Robert Graham - are incredible. Glad I was offered an opportunity to visit.

It was an outstanding meal, worth the price of $100 for three courses (heirloom tomatoes salad, steak, dessert). However, it's worth noting they automatically add both a 20% Service Charge AND a 20% tip. So that 40% on top plus, of course, taxes.

All 4 were brought to us ice cold, even though we got them a little early. My guests were so hungry they just started eating. I sent mine back. When it was returned, *they had microwaved it.* I could tell because it came back too quickly, the sauce was congealed and the chicken was bone dry. They microwaved my $70 dinner. I paid $70-80 for each meal. To be served cold food, and then to have my meal microwaved, was inexcusable. The food was bland and poorly made as well, but that's an entirely different issue. I couldn't even eat my diablo chicken when it came back; it was so dry as to be inedible. Having paid so much for it, I actually went without dinner tonight. We were looking forward to this event. The orchestra and the Beach Boys were fun as always. But the food experience was so bad, we decided not to go back next year.

I had pre-purchased…read moreparking passes and had them in my MLB Ballpark App (saved $5 and had an easy time getting into the stadium). It was a short walk to the gates where we brought in our own waters and snacks. Once in the central plaza we could take photos with statues, bobbleheads, etc and walk around the stadium Made our way to the upper decks to get a better view of the field, and enjoyed checking out everything. It's a completely cashless place (as most stadiums are these days) so prepare to pull out your card for everything. Is it expensive? Yes. Was it more than I thought? For some items, yes ($12 soda, $11 Dodger dog) but for others no ($22 beer, $6 ice cream) The atmosphere is great and the fans love their team. Unfortunately for them the Padres won

We visited from out of state while on our honeymoon, I reached out to see if I could add anything else to my tickets, the response was much more than expected. We received first game certificates as well as a bag of goodies! This actually made the experience so much better for us. As for the park itself, we went on a give away night, people were body to body, no one was able to move, and it was quite a dangerous situation I'm not sure if this is normal, but if there was an emergency everyone was stuck. Crowds died down after the first pitch, the fans were amazing, the whole atmosphere was a fun experience. They did run out of quite a bit of food prior to the game starting the day we went. Over all we had a good experience, my recommendation is doing research on how to enter and how to get to your seats before going.
