BMO Stadium — Attraction in Los Angeles

Visited this place to see Twice's 4th World Tour III-Encore. I had floor tickets in section C and had a fair view of the main scenario. However, the issue with floor tickets is that those taller than will definitely block your view and will have to watch the screens as if you were sitted in other sections far away. For the first couple of songs, there was also a sign with the section info blocking our view. As per organization and staff friendliness, it all went by really smooth. I'm not a local from the area, and everything was set in such a way that it was easy to get there, park, and access the venue. There was merch sales (yes, there were lightsticks for sale but these are gone fast if you want a worry free experience try to buy yours before and bring some extra batteries to keep it alive throughout), and VIP soundcheck benefits so as far as I know people started to get there as early as 11AM (if not earlier), the concert started at 7:30 PM. For us, considering the LA traffic and other delays, we arrived between 4 and 5 PM. The lines to buy merch were shorter and went by faster, but there was not much left.

Then we made our way to the stadium, the access was relatively fast when you followed all the indications, so please review the venue policy before visiting. I had a plastic clear bag with some essentials and had no trouble at all. We got our floor bracelets and went in.

Once inside, we made a restroom stop before the show, the access is through upper levels, there are multiple concessions that sell food and drinks, keep in mind that whatever drink you purchase it won't have a lid. The staff was very friendly and attentive, I wish I could recall her name to give her a big shout out.

Took some photos and then we went to our seats. The chairs, like any other venue, are tightly held together. They sits are very narrow, and when we were standing (the whole almost 4 hours of concert), we were all on top of each other.

In spite of all this, Twice put on a show worth for the history books. It was an open venue, and due to the date, I was concerned because of the weather, but it was just perfect, blue skies, kind sun, and at night the full moon bathing us all with their moonlight while Twice was actually singing their Moonlight song. It was amazing, and this performance is also one that the Twice members hold dearly in their memories.

At the end of the show, there were pink heart-shaped confetti everywhere (we collected some, too cute to miss it). Then there were fireworks, amazing music, and a very unique energy. A lot happened, we sang happy birthday to Dahyun, witnessed blond Nayeon (Nolo confirmed right after), Jihyo's full vocal powerhouse, Jeongyeon throwing water everywhere making it a fun mess, Momo performing like there was no tomorrow, Sana pointing at the full moon to make the moment special, Chaeyoung's iconic rap from Icon, Mina with her ballerina moves, and Tzuyu serving like pros she is, and much more... this became an experience of a lifetime.

The place was packed, so we sat down waiting until it was almost empty, and when the staff kicked us out, this made helped us to get faster to our car and leave the venue.

Making this trip to LA was not easy, took months, and lots of effort to plan it and make it happen. Our flight got canceled on our way over to LA, had to travel to a neighboring city to catch another flight, it was really stressful and if you ask me "will I do it again?" Well... YES! I would! - not anytime soon, and not for any show, so... it will be hard to top this concert for a while.

Found the heart shaped confetti and thought it will be fun to...

Do not come to the stadium !!

I have been too many stadiums for many different types of music genres. We came to a concert on 09/13/24 it was for Carin Leon, sold out venue… but we had purchased $1000 tickets and $60 parking. We got off the freeway at 7:20 PM and the concert started at eight. We thought we had enough time we have been to Sofi and we have also been to Rose Bowl and never had any issues with pre-paid parking. This location is literally in the middle of the ghetto. There are so many different shady people walking down the streets. There’s an ambulance that drives by maybe it was because it was a Friday night, but literally every five minutes. We finally made it to the corner of Figueroa and every single parking lot was closed. We showed them our prepaid pass and they told us that it was first come first serve. How can it be first come first serve that doesn’t even make sense let’s say they only have room for 5000 cars, but they sold 1 million parking spaces ?? Venue, security, and LAPD officers had every single lot barricaded and closed with cones or they were parked in front of it blocking anybody from going in and this was at 7:45pm. The officers that were controlling the intersections were basically more of a traffic hazard because they were letting people in, cut and re-directing all over the place

I think the problem is they hire random people off the streets and those random people sneak others inside. How can they oversell the parking lot every single time there’s a concert here?

I read that some people showed up at 4 PM and 6 PM and had no issues once again. I also read about the stadium bags, which is pretty much similar to any other venues or stadiums you go to.

This is not the first concert we have been to and anytime you have tickets and prepaid parking. You are guaranteed a spot because you already paid! by the time we got to the corner of Figueroa in front of BMO it was already 950 and the show was over at 10Pm, WE did not make it.. We asked several officers and several security guards and they were all rude. They all kept telling us to contact the organizer and that it was first come first serve, even tho we paid.. how is this legal?

The only option for us was to give $50 to some shady criminal looking gangsters that basically took over parking lots for businesses that were closed for the day and were charging people to park there. When we were driving home, I was checking TikTok and this is not the first time this has happened. It also happened with Los Bukis and Fuerza Regida, which means it’s an issue with BMO not just...

New stadium with a lot of amenities and great views from the midfield box. Came here for the LAFC vs San Jose game on a Wednesday night. We took the metro from downtown Santa Monica to the Expo Park/USC station. It was about 40 minutes and definitely beat trying to brave rush hour traffic heading to DTLA. It was about a 15 minute walk to the stadium and a nice walk, as we passed by the Rose Garden and various museums to get to the entrance. The Fields LA is right in front of the entrance, and you don’t need a ticket to get in. It’s a food hall with highly esteemed food options, bathrooms, and water stations. When you go through security, you hand the security guard your phone and bag then walk through the metal detector. There is a strict bag policy so be sure to read the website regarding the rules. The transparent bag rule was strictly enforced. The view from the midfield box is awesome - and the unlimited hot dogs, pretzels, and popcorn. You ask the people with the bags to come bring you the food (although know that they did run out of hot dogs at the end of the night). There are ketchup and mustard packets but no onions. The pretzel was a bit dry and very salty, while the popcorn was very buttery and also salty. I highly recommend getting the dole whip soft serve ($6) - I think it’s better than the one at Disneyland. It was so thick and creamy with the perfect pineapple flavor. The prices are what you’d expect from stadiums - bottled Dasani was $4, micheladas were $18, and candy was $4. There are water fountains and plenty of bathrooms. The seats in the midfield box were also padded which was comfortable. Getting out of the stadium was a nightmare - it took forever to get a lyft. You can go to the designated lyft station in front of Lot 6 and there are two people who direct where the lyft cars park so you can walk to them. There’s WiFi but just for the lyft app. I would recommend either walking a bit away and calling a lyft from elsewhere or perhaps leaving earlier to ensure you get a lyft before surge pricing hits. Customer service is a bit standoffish but given that there’s a large mass of people that need to be helped, it’s understandable. Overall a really nice, new stadium that was a fun experience for watching a...
