What We Loved
- Electric and energetic atmosphere, likely due to the historic teams and celebrity presence. A strong highlight.
- Easy to get around once inside the venue, with solid signage and flow.
- Great sightlines from your seat — this makes a big difference in the overall game experience.
- Decent variety and quality for a major arena; not outstanding, but better than average.
What We Didn't Like
- Likely affected by LA traffic and limited public transit convenience compared to other cities.
- Subpar — seating might feel cramped or outdated, especially compared to newer arenas.
- Starting to show its age, especially when stacked against more modern arenas with cutting-edge amenities.
The Verdict
Crypto.com Arena delivers a classic, high-energy NBA/WNBA experience in the heart of LA. The vibes and views are top-tier, but aging infrastructure and difficult transit dampen the overall convenience and comfort. Great for the atmosphere — but not the most comfortable or accessible visit.
Final Take:
✅ Worth the visit, especially for the iconic LA game-day feel — but best enjoyed if you're not expecting luxury seating or an easy trip in and out.
🔁 Might not top the list, but definitely a solid mid-to-upper-tier arena.
