Ohio State Buckeyes Men's Basketball Tickets in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a sprawling, sun-soaked sports town where the game is only half the show. Visiting fans pack downtown's L.A. Live district before Lakers, Clippers, Kings and Sparks games, then scatter to Exposition Park, Inglewood and Chavez Ravine for football, soccer and baseball. Crowds are stylish, late-arriving and notoriously early-leaving, so road fans often find prime seats and short beer lines. Plan around traffic, soak in the palm-lined energy, and you'll see why every league wants a piece of LA.

**Getting there:** For Crypto.com Arena, take Metro's A or E Line to Pico Station and walk into L.A. Live, or drive the 110 Freeway and use the downtown lots. SoFi Stadium in Inglewood is best reached via the new Metro K Line or rideshare off the 405 and 105 freeways, since on-site parking is pricey and pre-purchased. Dodger Stadium has limited transit, so most fans drive Sunset Boulevard or the 110 and pay to park on the hill.

**Where to stay & eat:** Downtown LA around L.A. Live, South Park and the Arts District puts you steps from Crypto.com Arena with plenty of hotels, breweries and taco spots. For SoFi, fans stay near Inglewood, El Segundo or LAX and Uber over. Echo Park and Silver Lake offer a hip base near Dodger Stadium with bars and brunch.

**The matchup:** When the Ohio State Buckeyes Men's Basketball come to Los Angeles, they take on the UCLA Bruins Men's Basketball at Pauley Pavilion, and a road swing can also include the USC Trojans Men's Basketball. Los Angeles is a cross-country trip of about 1974 miles — effectively a fly-in weekend from Columbus.
