BMO Stadium (previously Banc of California Stadium) is home to the LAFC (Los Angeles Football Club) MLS and Angel City FC (NWSL) teams out in Exposition Park. The venue is at 3939 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, California 9003, and opened in 2018. In addition to soccer games, Banc of California Stadium hosts events year-round.
Here are the BMO Stadium Parking tips and more!
Official Parking around BMO Stadium
Multiple parking options surround BMO Stadium for fans to use for an event. The parking lots include the General Parking Blue lot (north), Entrepreneurial Parking (right), General Parking Green Lot (south), and General Parking Pink, Yellow, and Orange (left) of the venue. The Gold Lot is also the closest parking lot to the stadium.
You can visit the official BMO Stadium parking page to get the most up-to-date information on parking around the venue. Also, the price for parking in these lots will vary, but the general parking lots tend to be the cheapest parking options.
My Recommendation on Parking + Experience with SpotHero
I’m an active SpotHero user, so I always recommend fans check it out before driving to any arena for a game or concert. From my experience, I tend to save about 30% (or more) on parking using this service over the official lots next to an arena. I like to look for parking options about 10-15 minutes from my destination for two reasons. First, I can save money on that parking lot over what the lots next to the arena are going for. Second, I like parking a bit further away from the venue since it has less foot and car traffic around it since it is not as close to the stadium that I’m going to. Using this service works for me, so I always recommend people try it if they want to save money on parking.
BMO Stadium ADA Parking
Fans looking for accessible parking options should inform the parking staff at the venue of their desire so they can be instructed on where to park.
In addition to accessible lots, fans can also take advantage of the rideshare options in the green lot, which is at parking lot 6. From there, fans can call rideshare rides from and to during gameday.
Is there Tailgating Before a LAFC / Angel City Match?
There is tailgating before soccer games at the venue. Fans can head over to the Christmas Tree Lane to join in with the festivities.
In addition to that, there are bars and restaurants that fans can visit before and after a soccer game. Some better bars and restaurants near the venue include Toms Jr Burgers, Golazo, and El Paissa Mexican Grill.

Should I Take Public Transportation to the Venue?
Fans looking to take the Metro Expo Line can get off at the Expo Park / USC Station stop. The walk is less than a mile from there, so it should take about 15 minutes to get to the stadium from this location.
In addition to taking the Metro Expo Line, fans can take rideshare programs like Uber and Lyft to and from the stadium.
