Why charter a bus to Crypto.com Arena?
Charter bus logistics for Crypto.com Arena in downtown LA. Drop off in the white zone on Chick Hearn Court or Figueroa St. Oversized parking is limited; call at least 10 days ahead to arrange it.
Crypto.com Arena, formerly known as Staples Center, is downtown LA's premier indoor arena, seating up to 20,000 for basketball, hockey, concerts, and special events. It is home to the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers, the NHL's LA Kings, and the WNBA's LA Sparks (the Clippers play at Intuit Dome in Inglewood), and it also hosts the Grammy Awards, scheduled for February 7, 2027. Located at the center of the L.A. LIVE entertainment district on Figueroa Street, the arena hosts hundreds of events each year.
Driving to Crypto.com Arena means navigating downtown LA traffic and finding parking in one of the arena's lots or nearby garages, which multiplies into a real headache for groups: multiple cars, multiple parking spots, and the inevitable post-game text chain about where everyone parked. A charter bus drops your group at one of the two designated white zones, steps from the entrance, while your driver handles parking separately.
Charter buses to Crypto.com Arena are common for Lakers and Kings game-day groups, corporate outings, concert transportation, and birthday celebrations. The arena's downtown location means your bus can easily combine the event with a stop elsewhere in DTLA. Just remember to book your oversized vehicle parking at least 10 days ahead, since space is limited and fills fast for marquee events, and to double check your drop-off route given the ongoing Pico Blvd closure nearby.
