Official Intuit Dome Parking Lots
Venue-operated lots and structures with guaranteed availability when you pre-purchase.
Structure 1 - Century Blvd North
OfficialThe premium structure closest to the arena's north entrance. Pre-purchase through the Intuit Dome app is mandatory for sold-out Clippers games - this structure sells out first. Best option if you want the shortest walk in and out.
Structure 2 - Century Blvd West
OfficialGeneral parking structure on the west side of Century Blvd. Opens 2 hours before tipoff for NBA games. Pre-purchase saves your spot and usually gets you in the $30 range vs. $40 day-of. Exits toward the 405 on event nights.
Structure 3 - Prairie Ave South
OfficialSouthernmost official structure. Good if you are coming from the 105. Slightly longer walk but it tends to clear faster after games than the Century Blvd structures. The Intuit Dome app shows availability in real time.
Nearby Private Lots
Third-party lots and street parking that often run cheaper than venue prices.
Century Blvd Private Surface Lots
PrivateSeveral privately operated surface lots along Century Blvd west of Prairie Ave. Pre-book through SpotHero or ParkWhiz for the lowest rates - day-of walk-up prices at these lots run $5-$10 higher. Good option for non-playoff Clippers games when the official structures have availability.
Manchester Blvd Shared Lots
PrivateSome lots along Manchester Blvd (shared with Kia Forum overflow on concurrent event nights) offer the cheapest drive-up parking in the area. Walk time to the Intuit Dome is longer but the savings are significant for regular season games.
How to Park Smarter at Intuit Dome
Use the Intuit Dome App
The Intuit Dome app is the official pre-purchase channel for parking. It shows real-time availability across all three structures, lets you choose your structure at checkout, and often runs exclusive pre-purchase rates that are $5-$10 lower than the gate price. Download and set up your account before game day.
Sold-Out Games Fill 60 Minutes Before Tipoff
For playoff games or the biggest Clippers matchups, Structure 1 can be full 60-75 minutes before tipoff. If you have not pre-purchased and you show up 45 minutes before the game, you may find official structures full. Pre-purchase eliminates this risk entirely - your spot is reserved the moment you pay.
Avoid Century Blvd for Exit if Heading South
Century Blvd east to Prairie Ave is the default post-game exit route and it backs up fast. If you are heading to the 105 or anywhere south, Structure 3 on the Prairie Ave side gives you a much cleaner exit path - you avoid the Century Blvd queue entirely.
Regular Season vs. Playoffs Timing
For mid-week regular season Clippers games, you can usually arrive 45 minutes before tipoff and still find parking without pre-purchasing. Playoffs, nationally televised games, and weekends are different - treat those like sold-out events and pre-purchase at least a few days ahead.
Concurrent Kia Forum Events
The Kia Forum sits a quarter mile away. When both venues have events on the same night, the entire Century Blvd corridor backs up. Check the Kia Forum schedule before you go. If both are active, budget an extra 15-20 minutes for arrival and exit.
Skip the Parking Hassle
Metro K Line
The Metro K Line (Crenshaw/LAX) stops at Downtown Inglewood station, about a 10-minute walk from the Intuit Dome main entrance. On Clippers game nights, the K Line is a legitimate option - it bypasses all of the Century Blvd traffic entirely. Round-trip fare is under $4. From downtown LA, take the Expo Line to Crenshaw station and transfer to the K Line south. The train runs extended hours on event nights.
Rideshare Tips
Intuit Dome rideshare pickup and drop-off is designated on the east perimeter of the arena. Post-game surge pricing kicks in the moment the final buzzer sounds. Walk one to two blocks east or north of the main entrance before requesting your ride - prices drop and driver availability improves once you are off the main exit block. If you are in a group, one person can request the car while others walk to the pickup point. Set a meeting spot before the game so you are not coordinating in a crowd.
