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!

Located along with many of the venues in exposition park in Los Angeles, BMO Stadium is the home…read moreof the MLS team, the LA Football Club. Ever since LAFC signed Son Heung-min in 2025, I've been itching to see him live [had tried to see him when he played at Tottenham, but failed miserably]. So when saw that tickets in the center upper deck were hovering around $100 on Stubhub, jumped at the chance to go with my wife and my daughter's in-laws (who live closer by). The game ended up being very uncompetitive, but was looking for Sonny to break his goal-less streak to start the season. Alas, he did not, but he had four assists (career high for a game) and contributed to the first goal, a 'own goal' by Orlando City, where he was the last LAFC player to touch it. What a sight! It is located in Exposition Park, so can take either of the 'E' line Metro stops, servicing the area. It's a bit of a walk so need to give it time. We arrived exactly at the 18:30 start time, enough to see the National Anthem (singer was quite good). The match started a little after that, and with our section facing the west, the setting sun during the early part of the game was beautiful, especially against the backdrop of the west part of the stadium. I had gotten seats in Section 213, which is upper deck and row Q wasn't that far back for that section. (seating began at K, all the way to Z, and then AA - DD). The sightlines were great...as long as nobody was standing up in front of you, one could see all four corners of the playing surface. To the right of us, was the the LAFC supporters section, the '3252' (capacity). That area is standing room only, and was the source of constant (not periodic, but constant) chants throughout the game. It was addicting to listen to, and my wife found the webpage that had the words to the various chants, so we sometimes chanted along. The surface uses 95/5 Real grass/synthetic blend there was constant watering during halftime. Six goals were scored this day, so there was plenty of cheering, high-fives, and bouncing up and down throughout the match (mostly in the first half). The stadium was more than 1/2 - 2/3 full at the start of the match, but cleared out quite a lot early in the 2nd half once Son was subbed out. We stayed for the entire bit, since getting out by car wasn't an issue. It took a bit of time to walk back to the Expo/Vermont Metro station, but surprisingly, the East bound train wasn't full. Enjoyed it so much that got two more ticket 4-packs for later this year. Have used Stubhub for most of the ticket purchases in the past, but just used TickPick and the prices seem to more competitive. Anyway you purchase, the tickets end up on the ticketmaster app to display for entry.

The staff at the concession stand on street level or excellent, especially Miss Bridgette, who was very knowledgeable of the food. She was also helpful and helping us decide on what to eat and snack. I enjoyed the chocolate sundae with sprinkles, my son enjoyed a churro. The nachos were average, but the popcorn made to order was superb.

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.

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!

While there were only 2 remaining original Beach Boys, others filled in on the vocals and the philharmonic orchestra was outstanding. It was very moving when the conductor of the philharmonic addressed members of our military and had them stand according to their specific branch of service. John Stamos was a guest performer and we were surprised at how talented he was as a musician. He apparently was in a band before he was an actor. The finale was their fireworks spectacular with accompanying patriotic music. What a night!

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.

My halftime ritual is to walk over and see what they have for sale even if I don't buy something. Everything they sell is authentic. Always worth stopping by to check out what they have and chat with whoever is working. Recommended!

This was an interesting park to visit…read more Fan Services is absolutely phenomenal. 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.

Literally breeze through everywhere else...at least we got our bobbles.. *Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful. *decent team store and satellite ones--good selection but $$$ for team jerseys--but I guess when you're the current two time WS champions and still on top you can command those prices. Lots of good choices --got a delicious Greek bowl that was excellent! *great bobble head collection *lots of history displayed upstairs-- although did t view it this game *expect to go up and down SEVERAL stairs if you have a nose bleed (upper level ) seat... good thing I'm in decent shape because it was a LOT *Good baseball although again, $$$ for seats, dynamic pricing. Stayed as long as they'd let us loiter in the stadium to allow for less traffic, but that only helps so much. Would I return? Of course!
