Charter Bus Parking & Dropoff Guide to Bell Sports Venues & Arenas
With Bell
BMO Stadium (Home of Los Angeles FC and Angel City FC)
For easy soccer and concert travel from Bell to Exposition Park, BMO Stadium at 3939 S. Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90037 is less than 8 miles west of Florence Avenue. Instead of splitting your fan club into multiple cars and fighting for spots in the Exposition Park lots, your group can ride together in a climate-controlled minibus or party bus with LED lighting and Bluetooth sound. Because Bell
Major Roadways to BMO Stadium
From Bell, drivers typically head west via Randolph Street or Gage Avenue to I-110 North (Harbor Freeway), exiting at Exposition Boulevard or Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Local surface access runs along S. Figueroa Street and S. Hoover Street bordering Exposition Park.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at BMO Stadium
Charter buses and minibuses drop passengers off along the designated outer curb on Exposition Park Drive or near 39th Street and S. Figueroa Street on the east side of the stadium. California law strictly limits commercial engine idling to 5 minutes, and LAPD traffic officers prohibit buses from waiting at the curb. When the final whistle blows, gather your entire group outside the Northeast or Southeast gates before messaging your driver to pull up. Your whole group hops right back onboard together and skips the packed Metro E Line platforms and surge-priced rideshare queues!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at BMO Stadium
Oversized vehicle and 56-passenger charter bus parking in Exposition Park is located in the designated surface lots off Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Hoover Street (such as the Blue Structure surface area or Green Lot), which must be pre-purchased through Exposition Park parking management. If your group only needs drop-off and pickup service, your driver can stage off-site outside the park perimeter and return to Figueroa Street once everyone is ready to board.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
On LAFC and Angel City FC match days—and especially when an event overlaps at the neighboring Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum—traffic backs up heavily on I-110 and Figueroa Street starting two hours before kickoff. Christmas Tree Lane and sections of Exposition Park Drive often close to unauthorized vehicles during pre-game fan fests. Plan to depart Bell at least 90 minutes to two hours before gates open so your group has plenty of time to clear bag check. Remember that BMO Stadium enforces a strict clear-bag policy (maximum 12" x 6" x 12"), so leave oversized backpacks locked safely onboard your bus!
Crypto.com Arena (Home of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Sparks and the Los Angeles Kings)
Bell
Major Roadways to Crypto.com Arena
Driving from Bell to Downtown Los Angeles typically takes 20 to 35 minutes via I-710 North (Long Beach Freeway) to I-10 West (Santa Monica Freeway), or west along surface streets to I-110 North (Harbor Freeway). Drivers exit at Pico Boulevard, 9th Street, or Olympic Boulevard to enter the L.A. LIVE entertainment district. During weekday evening games, heavy commuter bottlenecks form at the I-10/I-110 interchange and along S. Figueroa Street. Your driver will monitor live downtown traffic to choose the fastest approach into the arena corridor.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Crypto.com Arena
For quick group unloading right next to L.A. LIVE and the Star Plaza entrances, charter buses use the designated white commercial passenger loading zone on Chick Hearn Court (11th Street) between S. Figueroa Street and Georgia Street, or along the west curb of Figueroa Street north of Pico Boulevard. Active loading and unloading is strictly timed, and buses cannot sit unattended at the curb. After the buzzer sounds, have your group meet by the magic statues in Gilbert Lindsay Plaza or outside L.A. LIVE on Chick Hearn Court. Once every passenger is accounted for, text your driver to pull into the loading zone for a smooth, unified departure.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Crypto.com Arena
Standard underground garages around L.A. LIVE (such as the West Garage at Lot W) have vertical height clearances between 6'6" and 8'2" and cannot accommodate full-size motorcoaches or high-roof party buses. Instead, oversized charter buses and minibuses park in Lot C (an open-air surface lot located at L.A. LIVE Way and 12th Street, west of the Los Angeles Convention Center) or designated oversized spaces near Venice Boulevard and Convention Center Drive. Parking passes for oversized buses should be arranged ahead of time through the Crypto.com Arena group events or parking office. Drivers can also stage in commercial surface lots along the downtown perimeter and return when your event wraps up.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Chick Hearn Court between Figueroa Street and L.A. LIVE Way frequently closes to general traffic two to three hours before tip-off, concerts, and major awards shows, with LADOT officers directing commercial drop-offs to the perimeter curbs on Figueroa Street or Olympic Boulevard. If a major trade show is running simultaneously at the adjacent Los Angeles Convention Center, add an extra 30 minutes to your departure time from Bell.
Dodger Stadium (Home of the Los Angeles Dodgers)

Major Roadways to Dodger Stadium
From Bell, charter buses head north on I-710 to I-5 North (Golden State Freeway) or US-101 North to I-110 North (Pasadena Freeway). Each highway feeds into a specific stadium gate: Vin Scully Avenue off Sunset Boulevard leads to the Sunset Gate A, Stadium Way off I-5 leads to the Downtown Gate E and Scott Ave Gate D, and I-110 North leads to the Golden State Gate C and Academy Gate B. Because Dodger Stadium sits atop a hill with limited entry roads, traffic builds rapidly along Sunset Boulevard and the I-110 stadium ramps. Leaving Bell at least two hours before first pitch keeps your group ahead of the ravine bottlenecks.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Dodger Stadium
Groups hiring a bus for drop-off and pickup without staying parked on-site typically unload at Sunset Gate A (at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Vin Scully Avenue) or use the designated passenger drop-off area in Lot 11 off Vin Scully Avenue. If your bus is purchasing on-site bus parking, your driver will pull directly through the entry gates to unload inside the assigned bus lot so your group walks straight to the concourse.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Dodger Stadium
Dodger Stadium accommodates charter buses, minibuses, and limousines on-site in designated oversized vehicle stalls, and all parking must be purchased in advance or via cashless payment at the gate. Please note that Dodger Stadium strictly prohibits tailgating in all parking lots, and parking fees are paid separately from your bus rental quote. If your bus is not parking inside the ravine for the game, your driver will relocate to an off-site commercial staging area near Downtown LA or Chinatown due to strict 5-minute anti-idling rules on surrounding Echo Park streets. After the final out, gather your group at your predetermined gate before signaling your driver to return.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Auto gates at Dodger Stadium typically open 2 to 2.5 hours before game time, and dedicated bus lanes run along Sunset Boulevard from Union Station on game days (reserved for Metro Dodger Stadium Express buses—private charter buses must stay in standard traffic lanes). Post-game traffic exiting Chavez Ravine is heavily channelized by traffic control officers, meaning vehicles in certain lots can only exit toward specific freeways like I-110 or Sunset Blvd. Coordinate your post-game meeting spot with your driver before stepping off the bus so everyone regroups smoothly after the ninth inning!
Dignity Health Sports Park (Home of the LA Galaxy)
Look through tons of different minibuses, party buses, and full-size motorcoaches on Bell
Major Roadways to Dignity Health Sports Park
Traveling south from Bell takes just 15 to 25 minutes down I-710 South (Long Beach Freeway) to CA-91 West (Artesia Freeway), exiting directly at Avalon Boulevard. Drivers can also connect via I-110 South to I-405 South and exit at Avalon Boulevard or Victoria Street. Main surface access into the CSU Dominguez Hills sports complex runs along Avalon Boulevard, Victoria Street, and University Drive.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Dignity Health Sports Park
For groups using drop-off and pickup service, charter buses unload along the designated passenger zone on University Drive off Avalon Boulevard (near Gate A and the Northeast Plaza) or along Victoria Street near the North Entrance. Have your group gathered outside the Northwest or Southwest gates at the end of the match before calling your driver in from staging.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Dignity Health Sports Park
On-site charter bus and oversized vehicle parking is available inside the venue gates, typically directed through Gate A off Avalon Boulevard or Gate D off Central Avenue/University Drive into the unpaved or paved oversized sections near Lots 10, 11, 12, or 13. Oversized bus parking passes are higher than standard car rates and should be arranged prior to match day. Tailgating is permitted only in specifically designated lots (such as Lots 10, 11, 12, and 13) up until kickoff, making a full-size charter bus with undercarriage storage for coolers and canopies a fan favorite! If your bus is not staying on-site, drivers must stage off-campus because surrounding residential streets in Carson strictly prohibit commercial bus parking and enforce permit-only zones.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Parking gates at Dignity Health Sports Park generally open three hours before LA Galaxy matches, with heavy congestion building at the CA-91 and Avalon Boulevard exit ramps 60 minutes prior to kickoff. Neighborhood streets surrounding CSU Dominguez Hills are patrolled by local enforcement to block event cut-through traffic and unauthorized bus staging, so always stick to Avalon Boulevard and Victoria Street.
SoFi Stadium (Home of the Los Angeles Chargers and the Los Angeles Rams)

Major Roadways to SoFi Stadium
From Bell, charter buses most commonly take Florence Avenue or Manchester Avenue west, or hop onto I-105 West (Glenn Anderson Freeway) from I-710 and exit at Prairie Avenue or Crenshaw Boulevard. Travelers coming from the north or south also use I-405 (San Diego Freeway) to Century Boulevard or Manchester Boulevard. The stadium's 300-acre Hollywood Park campus is bordered by four main surface arteries: Prairie Avenue to the west, Century Boulevard to the south, Pincay Drive (90th Street) to the north, and Crenshaw Boulevard to the east.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at SoFi Stadium
Charter buses, minibuses, and limo buses conducting drop-off and pickup without an on-site bus parking pass must use the official northbound curbside loading lanes on Kareem Court (accessed off Pincay Drive on the northeast corner of the Hollywood Park campus, adjacent to the Purple Zone). Stopping or unloading passengers along Prairie Avenue, Century Boulevard, or inside residential Inglewood neighborhoods is strictly prohibited by Inglewood Police. After the fourth quarter or concert encore, walk as a group to the Kareem Court transportation hub. Once everyone is together, notify your driver so they can pull into the active loading lane for immediate boarding.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at SoFi Stadium
If you want your charter bus or party bus to stay parked on-site at Hollywood Park during the game, you must purchase an advance RV/Bus Parking Pass for the Green Zone (Lot N), which is accessed via Century Boulevard and Yukon Avenue on the south side of the stadium. Bus parking passes at SoFi Stadium are limited and frequently sell out weeks before NFL games and stadium tours, so lock in your pass as soon as you book your vehicle! Buses without a Green Zone pass cannot wait on Kareem Court and will stage off-site outside the Inglewood permit district until your group calls for pickup.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Traffic around Inglewood is intense when events overlap at SoFi Stadium, the Kia Forum, and the Intuit Dome, with dedicated bus-only lanes and turn restrictions active along Prairie Avenue and Century Boulevard. Plan to leave Bell at least 2.5 to 3 hours before NFL kickoff so your group can enjoy pre-game festivities at American Airlines Plaza without sitting in bumper-to-bumper gridlock.
