What it's known for
Star Plaza outside the arena features statues of legends including Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant and Wayne Gretzky. The building has hosted many NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Finals, along with the Grammy Awards.
The arena sits next to L.A. Live, an entertainment district with restaurants, bars and a concert venue. The Clippers, who used to share the building, moved to their own arena in Inglewood in 2024.
Getting there
Metro’s A and E Lines stop at Pico Station, a short walk away. Parking around downtown on game nights is expensive and traffic is heavy.
Tips for your visit
- Visit the statues in Star Plaza before the game.
- L.A. Live is right next door for pre- and postgame food.
- Dodger Stadium is a few miles away if you’re collecting ballparks.
