It's going to be extremely congested around Staples Center and there will be a number of street closures. Due to limited parking in the area, parade-goers are encouraged to take public transportation.
Metro's Red, Purple, Blue and Expo lines serve two stations along the parade route: 7th Street/Metro Center and Pico/Chick Hearn stations. The Metro Red and Purple Lines will operate six trains and the Metro Blue, Expo and Gold Lines will be adding trains and service depending on demand.
