The LAFC community has aggregated tips and suggestions for transportation and parking to help fans get the most out of their matchdays.
Directions By Metro
BMO Stadium is easy to reach by Metro bus and rail.
Take the E Line to Expo Park/USC Station. The stadium is about a 10-minute walk from the station.
The E Line runs between Downtown Santa Monica and East Los Angeles with five stations in Downtown Los Angeles. The Metro A, B and D trains connect with the E Line in DTLA.
BMO Stadium is also easily accessible using the Metro J Line’s 37th St/USC Station. Head west from the station, turn left on South Figueroa Street and walk about 1,000 feet to the stadium.
To plan your transit trip, use Google Maps, Apple Maps, the Transit app, the Moovit app and metro.net.
Regular Metro fares are $1.75 one-way or $3.50 round-trip. Purchase a round-trip fare at TAP vending machines located at all Metro Rail and Busway stations. You can also download the TAP app and use your smartphone as a TAP card. Get the app here. Each person, including children over the age of 5, must have a valid TAP card.
Fans can check X (Twitter) for Metro service updates or call 323-GOMETRO for updates and trip-planning assistance.
LAFC's Matchday Metro Tip
One of the best options is to park nearby a Metro train station near Downtown or surrounding communities of the stadium and then ride the Metro to the Expo Park/USC station. Here is information regarding the parking lots next to train stations of the Metro. Make sure to check the parking lot of the station to see if it is free or if it costs money and plan ahead to find out how long it will take to get to the stadium from the station. Be mindful of the fares and passes prices.
Directions By Car
From the North, take Exposition Boulevard or Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard southbound off-ramps from I-110 freeway.
From the South: Take Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard or 37th Street northbound off-ramps from I-110 freeway.
LAFC's Matchday Driving Tip
It is strongly recommended to arrive at the stadium two hours before kickoff. Two hours might seem like a lot of time but arriving 30 minutes before kickoff fans will encounter heavy Figueroa traffic combined with other fans searching for parking.
LAFC's Matchday Parking Tip
LAFC and Ticketmaster have a ‘Ticket Add-On' for the north and southwest parking lots. To get this parking pass, go Ticketmaster and click on ‘Add-On Available' for the specific match, click ‘Parking' and then click 'BMO Stadium Parking'. This pass can also be found on the LAFC App and is cheaper when purchased before matchday. This pass sells quickly and will most likely be sold out on the day of the game.
Ride Share
LAFC provides a ride share drop-off and pick-up lot available for fans on matchdays, located right outside the Southeast Entrance.
LAFC's Matchday Ride Share Tip
Riders can reserve ride share transportation up to a month in advance to find a cheaper fare. Before reserving, understand how long the ride from your destination to the stadium is. For this, fans can use Google Maps and input the departure time to see how long it estimates how long the commute will be. For example, if it takes an hour to arrive to the stadium by car, then plan to reserve to be picked up 3 hours ahead of kickoff. Again, it is recommended to arrive at the stadium 2 hours before kickoff.
Bicycle Parking
BMO Stadium has 100 permanent bicycle parking spaces around Expo Park.
