US SMASH · Minimal visitor guide

Crypto.com Arena campus, simplified.

Using the Crypto.com Arena + Los Angeles Convention Center district as the example: locate the main arena, locate the auxiliary halls, then lock transit and hotel choices.

Quick take Main: Crypto.com Arena Aux: LACC West / South Hall Transit: Pico Station is easiest Stay: prioritize L.A. LIVE walking radius

Match prep · Fan resources

Before the arena, prepare banners, posters, and wallpapers.

The resources area includes English banner/poster PDF/SVG files for FedEx / Staples printing, plus 9:16 phone and 16:9 desktop wallpapers.

01 · Layout

Main arena, halls, and metro sit in one walking cluster.

This is not an official floor plan; it is a fan-friendly orientation sketch. The arena sits in the L.A. LIVE core, LACC halls sit south/west, and Pico Station is southeast.

Transit

Metro A / E Line, then walk

Official Metro guidance points fans from Pico Station toward the arena district.

02 · Transit routes

Choose routes that survive post-match congestion.

Best

Metro A / E Line → Pico Station

Exit Pico Station, walk west on Pico Blvd for about one block into the Crypto.com Arena / LACC district.

Airport

LAX → rail / rideshare to Downtown LA

Light luggage: public transit + Metro works. Group or late-night arrival: rideshare to hotel first, then walk to the venue.

Driving

West / South Hall Garage

LACC notes the West Hall and South Hall garages are close to LACC, Crypto.com Arena, and L.A. LIVE; event rates are usually about $30–$40.

Watch out

Pico Blvd work + post-match congestion

LACC lists long-term Pico Blvd closure/construction alerts. After matches, walk out of the dense zone before calling rideshare.

03 · Hotel shortlist

Rank by walkability first, star rating second.

On event days, the real luxury is walking back without chasing rideshare. These are nearby candidates; verify rates and availability before booking.

Pre-event check

If official ticketing names the zones Maverik Arena, Smash Arena, or another session label, swap the names here; the campus transit and hotel logic remains the same.
