Metro-Accessible Venues (Recommended)

Best for Metro Users

Crypto.com Arena (Staples Center) — Downtown LA. Just 2 minutes walk from B/D Line station. This is the easiest venue to reach by Metro.

SoFi Stadium & Intuit Dome — Both in Inglewood, serviced by the K Line opening in 2025. 5–10 minute walks from the station.

UCLA Venues — Westwood. D Line extension (opening 2025) takes you to Westwood/VA Hospital, 10 minutes walk from venues.

Long Beach Venues — A Line reaches Downtown Long Beach directly. Short walks to all venues in the area.

Moderate Transit Access

Rose Bowl Stadium — Pasadena. A Line to Memorial Park Station, then shuttle bus or 1.5-mile walk. Plan 60–75 minutes total from Downtown.

Limited Metro Access (Plan Ahead)

Dignity Health Sports Park — Carson. No good Metro connection. This venue is best reached by:

Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) — ~30 minutes from Downtown, surge pricing expected
Rental car — Have GPS ready, area is spread out
Bus transfer — Long and complicated

Sepulveda Basin (Archery, etc.) — Valley Center. Remote location. Metro will run shuttles from nearby rail stations, but travel time is extended.

Strategic Planning Tips

Cluster Your Events by Venue

If you're buying tickets, try to cluster events at the same venue to avoid transit complications:

Day 1: SoFi Stadium (Opening Ceremony) + Intuit Dome (Basketball) = Stay in Inglewood area
Day 2: Crypto.com Arena + Long Beach venues = Loop Downtown to Long Beach
Day 3: UCLA + Rose Bowl = Westside venues

Use Day Passes Strategically

If you're hopping between multiple venues in one day, a Metro day pass ($7.50) will pay for itself quickly.

Account for Crowd Delays

Add 20–30 extra minutes to your journey time when leaving venues post-game
Trains will be extremely crowded during major events
Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes early for major opening/closing ceremonies

Pro Tips for Venue Hopping

Download the LA Metro app before the Olympics to track real-time train status
Get a TAP card and load a weekly pass ($32) if attending multiple events
Check venue open times in advance — some events have morning sessions
Bring water and snacks — concessions are expensive at every venue
Use event programs to understand parking and security procedures beforehand
Consider staying in a central location (Downtown LA or Mid-City) rather than driving around
