Official Intuit Dome Parking Lots

Venue-operated lots and structures with guaranteed availability when you pre-purchase.

Structure 1 - Century Blvd North

Official
2-3 min walk to north entrance

The 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.

$40-$50
per vehicle

Structure 2 - Century Blvd West

Official
5-6 min walk

General 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.

$30-$40
per vehicle

Structure 3 - Prairie Ave South

Official
7-8 min walk

Southernmost 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.

$30
per vehicle

Nearby Private Lots

Third-party lots and street parking that often run cheaper than venue prices.

Century Blvd Private Surface Lots

Private
8-12 min walk

Several 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.

$20-$30
per vehicle

Manchester Blvd Shared Lots

Private
10-14 min walk

Some 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.

$20-$25
per vehicle
Parking Tips

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.

NBA Playoffs 2026: Pre-Purchase or Take the Metro

For the 2026 NBA Playoffs starting April 19, parking at Intuit Dome works on a different timeline than the regular season. Individual game parking goes on sale alongside individual game tickets — typically 48 to 72 hours before tip-off. Structure 1 and Structure 2 sell out within hours of the on-sale for any home game with national TV interest. If you miss the pre-purchase window, the Metro K Line to Downtown Inglewood station is a genuine 10-minute walk alternative that bypasses Century Blvd entirely. Playoff parking prices run $40 to $60 per structure — $10 to $15 higher than regular season.

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.

FAQ

Intuit Dome Parking - Frequently Asked Questions

How much is Intuit Dome parking?+
Intuit Dome official parking structures run $30-$50 depending on the structure and event. Structure 1 (closest, north entrance) is $40-$50. Structures 2 and 3 run $30-$40. Pre-purchasing through the Intuit Dome app typically saves $5-$10 versus day-of pricing. Private lots on Century Blvd start around $20 when pre-booked.
Where do you park for Intuit Dome?+
Intuit Dome has three dedicated parking structures on Century Blvd and the south side of the campus. Structure 1 is on the north side closest to the main entrance. Structure 2 is on the west side of Century Blvd. Structure 3 is off Prairie Ave on the south end. Private lots operate along Century Blvd west of the arena for lower-cost alternatives.
Do you need to pre-purchase Intuit Dome parking?+
Pre-purchase is strongly recommended for sold-out Clippers games, playoff games, and major concerts. For regular season mid-week games against lower-profile opponents, walk-up availability at the structures is usually fine. The Intuit Dome app shows real-time structure availability and lets you reserve a spot in advance.
How early should I arrive for Intuit Dome parking?+
For most Clippers games, arriving 60-75 minutes before tipoff is sufficient if you pre-purchased. If you did not pre-purchase, arrive 90 minutes early to ensure you find a spot before structures fill. For playoff games or sellouts, give yourself 90+ minutes regardless of pre-purchase status.
Is there free parking near Intuit Dome?+
Free street parking on residential streets east of Prairie Ave is available for those willing to walk 15-20 minutes. Meters along Century Blvd are in effect during event hours. The closest free parking adds significant walk time - most fans find the $30 structure price worth avoiding the distance.
How do I get to Intuit Dome without parking?+
Metro K Line to Downtown Inglewood station is a 10-minute walk from the arena. Rideshare is straightforward but expect surge pricing immediately after games - walk a block or two from the main exit before requesting your ride to avoid peak pricing. Bikes and scooters work well for nearby residents given the flat terrain.
Is there a parking map for Intuit Dome?+
The Intuit Dome does not publish a standalone printable parking map, but the Intuit Dome app shows a live map of all three parking structures with real-time availability. Structure 1 is on the north side of Century Blvd closest to the main entrance. Structure 2 is on the west side of Century Blvd. Structure 3 is south of the arena off Prairie Ave. When you pre-purchase through the app, it displays the structure location and walking route from your parking spot to the arena entrance.
What is the difference between Intuit Dome Parking Structure 1 and Structure 2?+
Structure 1 (Century Blvd North) is closest to the Intuit Dome main entrance at a 2 to 3 minute walk. It is the premium structure, fills first for sold-out games, and prices run $40-$50. Structure 2 (Century Blvd West) is on the west side of the campus, a 5 to 6 minute walk from the arena, and prices lower at $30-$40. Choose Structure 1 if you want the shortest walk in and out. Choose Structure 2 if you want to save $10 and the slightly longer walk is not a concern.
Is there accessible (ADA) parking at Intuit Dome?+
Yes. Intuit Dome has ADA accessible parking spaces in all three official structures. Accessible spaces are located on the entry level of each structure and are reserved for vehicles displaying valid accessible placards or plates. Pre-purchase accessible parking through the Intuit Dome app and look for the accessible section at checkout. For the shortest walk, accessible spaces in Structure 1 are closest to the north entrance. Contact the Intuit Dome directly if you have specific accessibility questions before your event.
What app do I use to pre-purchase Intuit Dome parking?+
The official Intuit Dome app is the primary channel for pre-purchasing parking. It shows real-time availability across all three structures, lets you select your preferred structure, and stores your parking QR code for entry. SpotHero and ParkWhiz also list nearby private lots. For the official structures with guaranteed spots, the Intuit Dome app is the most reliable option and often has exclusive pre-purchase rates $5-$10 below the gate price.
Can you tailgate at Intuit Dome?+
Tailgating is limited at Intuit Dome compared to NFL venues. The official parking structures are multi-level garages rather than open surface lots, which makes traditional tailgating setups impractical. Fans gather in the plaza areas outside the arena before games, but open grills and large coolers are not permitted inside the structures. For a full tailgate experience, SoFi Stadium's Hollywood Park surface lots are the better option in the Inglewood area.
What happens if both Intuit Dome and Kia Forum have events on the same night?+
Intuit Dome and Kia Forum sit about a quarter mile apart on opposite sides of Century Blvd. When both venues have concurrent events, Century Blvd traffic backs up in both directions and all available parking within walking distance fills quickly. Pre-purchase parking for your specific venue and do not assume you can use the other venue's lots. On concurrent event nights, arriving 90 minutes before your event (instead of the usual 60 to 75 minutes) is strongly recommended.
Is Intuit Dome parking different for concerts versus Clippers games?+
The structures and pricing are consistent, but demand timing differs. Clippers playoff games and nationally televised matchups create the most pressure and require early pre-purchase. Regular season mid-week games against lower-profile opponents often have walk-up availability. Concert parking follows the same structure but lots typically open 2 hours before showtime versus 2 to 3 hours before Clippers tipoff. First-time concert visitors should budget extra arrival time since the venue crowd for concerts is less experienced with the parking process.
Which freeway exit is best for Intuit Dome parking?+
From the 405, take the Century Blvd exit and head east toward Inglewood. For Structure 1 and Structure 2, continue east on Century Blvd to the structure entrances. For Structure 3 on the south side, turn north on Prairie Ave from the 105 and look for the structure entrance. From the 110, take Century Blvd west. Avoid the 405 northbound connector directly onto Century Blvd during the final 30 to 45 minutes before tipoff as it backs up from the freeway ramp.
How much is parking for the 2026 NBA Playoffs at Intuit Dome?+
NBA Playoffs 2026 parking at Intuit Dome runs $40 to $60 per structure — $10 to $15 higher than regular season pricing. Structure 1 (north entrance, closest walk) is $50 to $60 for playoff games. Structures 2 and 3 run $40 to $50. Pre-purchase through the Intuit Dome app is essential: playoff parking sells out within hours of individual game tickets going on sale, typically 48 to 72 hours before tip-off. If official structures are sold out, the Metro K Line to Downtown Inglewood station is a free-to-all-traffic alternative at a 10-minute walk.
Should I drive or take the Metro to a 2026 NBA Playoffs game at Intuit Dome?+
For 2026 NBA Playoffs games at Intuit Dome, the Metro K Line is the most reliable option if you have not pre-purchased parking. The Downtown Inglewood station is approximately a 10-minute walk from the arena's main entrance. From downtown Los Angeles, take the Expo Line to Crenshaw station and transfer south to the K Line — about 30 to 40 minutes total from Union Station. Round-trip fare is under $4. On high-demand playoff nights, Century Blvd traffic can extend arrival times by 20 to 30 minutes compared to a regular season game — the K Line bypasses this entirely. If you prefer to drive, pre-purchase parking the moment individual game tickets go on sale and plan to arrive 75 to 90 minutes before tip-off.
When does Intuit Dome playoff parking go on sale for the 2026 NBA Playoffs?+
Intuit Dome parking for each 2026 NBA Playoffs home game goes on sale alongside individual game tickets — approximately 48 to 72 hours before tip-off once the series matchup and home game schedule are confirmed by the NBA. Season ticket holders may have priority access to parking before the public on-sale window. Structure 1 and Structure 2 typically sell out within a few hours of the public on-sale for nationally televised playoff games. Set up your Intuit Dome app account and payment information before the playoffs begin so you can purchase immediately when parking goes live.
