Crypto.com Arena
Los Angeles, CA · Arena
Crypto.com Arena runs one of the strictest door policies of any major venue, and there is no clear bag loophole here. Unless your bag is a small clutch, purse, or wallet no bigger than 5 by 9 by 1 inches, it will not get in, and that holds true for Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Sparks games as well as concerts.
The fix is simple. Carry what you need in your pockets or a tiny clutch, or rent a Binbox locker just outside the doors. Below is the full list of what passes security, what gets turned away, and how to plan your trip downtown.

Common questions
Does Crypto.com Arena allow clear bags?
No. Unlike many NFL stadiums, Crypto.com Arena does not give clear bags a pass. Anything larger than a 5 by 9 by 1 inch clutch is turned away whether it is clear or not, so plan to travel light or use a Binbox locker.
What size purse can I bring into Crypto.com Arena?
Only a small clutch, purse, or wallet up to 5 by 9 by 1 inches. Larger purses and totes are not permitted at any entrance.
Is there bag storage at Crypto.com Arena?
There is no bag check inside, but Binbox rental lockers are available just outside the Kobe Bryant entrance near the LA Kings monument.
What is the bag policy for Lakers and Kings games?
The same clutch-only rule applies to Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Sparks games as well as concerts. Medical and diaper bags up to 14 by 14 by 6 inches go through X-ray screening.
Getting there
Gates open
Doors usually open 90 minutes before tip-off and 60 to 90 minutes before a concert. Times shift by event, so check your ticket.
Parking
Several L.A. Live garages and lots surround the arena, with the West Garage closest. Pre-booking through the official site or a parking app is cheaper than the day-of gate rate downtown.
Public transit
The Metro A and E lines stop at Pico Station, a short walk from the arena. Many fans take Metro to avoid downtown traffic and parking.
Rideshare
Uber and Lyft use a designated pickup zone in the L.A. Live area. Follow event staff signage after the show to find it.
