A few weeks ago I was able to secure pre-sale tickets to the ESPYS at Nokia Theater LA Live in Downtown Los Angeles. Well, tonight is the big night!!! I’ve watched the ESPYS on cable for many years, so when I saw the opportunity to be there in person, I knew I had to jump at the chance.
Doors open at 3:00pm and close at 5:45pm, so make sure you are on time.

Be sure to come early to get a free limited-edition gift bag.
Fans will also catch a glimpse of the athletes and stars as they walk down the red carpet to the big show!
Where to Park / Public Transportation
There are numerous places to park in Downtown LA and is relatively safe to walk around at night. However, if you want to buy your parking online, buy it here for $25 before it sells out.
However, I’d recommend taking public transportation if you can. The Blue Line stops at Pico, which is a 2 minute walk from Staples Center and Nokia Theater. The Blue Line connects with the Red (Union Station to North Hollywood) and Purple Lines (Union Station to Westside) at the 7th & Metro stop. More public transportation information can be found here.
