Crypto.com Arena, home to the Los Angeles Lakers, has unveiled its latest pinnacle of luxury: the $5 million Tunnel Suite. As part of a multi-year renovation project, this exclusive offering redefines the premium game-day experience, blending unparalleled access with opulent amenities.
A New Standard in Luxury
The Tunnel Suite is not just a seat at a game—it's an all-encompassing lifestyle experience. For an annual fee of $5 million, suite holders gain access to every event hosted at the arena, including NBA and NHL games, concerts, and even high-profile events like the Grammys. The suite accommodates up to 12 guests and provides a private lounge located below the arena seating area. From this secluded space, attendees can enjoy privacy while still being just steps away from their courtside seats126.
Exclusive Features
The Tunnel Suite offers an array of luxurious perks:
Private Player Entrance: Guests enter through the same tunnel used by players and performers, ensuring an exclusive arrival experience.
Personalized Service: A private chef and bartender are on hand to cater to every culinary need. Guests can enjoy gourmet meals and premium beverages without leaving their seats49.
Ultimate Privacy: The suite's design ensures discretion for its occupants while allowing them to step out into prime visibility during events.
Comprehensive Access: The package includes tickets to all arena events, including playoffs and concerts, making it a year-round entertainment hub26.
A Competitive Edge
Compared to other premium offerings across NBA arenas, the Tunnel Suite stands out as one of the most exclusive experiences available. While other arenas offer luxury suites with varying levels of amenities, none combine proximity to players with such high-end service and exclusivity. For instance:
The Miami Heat’s suites accommodate larger groups but lack the private tunnel access.
New York Knicks’ suites provide locker room experiences but do not match the privacy or exclusivity of Crypto.com Arena’s Tunnel Suites1.
The Vision Behind the Renovation
This luxury addition is part of a $100 million renovation plan designed by Gensler architectural firm and sports architect Dan Meis. The project aims to keep Crypto.com Arena competitive in Los Angeles’ dynamic entertainment landscape. Alongside the Tunnel Suites, other upgrades include Terrace Suites on the main concourse and enhancements to sound systems, jumbo screens, and concession stands29.
A Glimpse into the Future
With only four Tunnel Suites available, demand has been exceptionally high. Two have already been sold under long-term contracts worth tens of millions of dollars each. These suites cater not only to sports fans but also to celebrities and business elites seeking an unmatched blend of privacy and prestige69.
The $5 million Tunnel Suite is more than just a ticket—it’s a statement of exclusivity and luxury that places Crypto.com Arena at the forefront of premium sports and entertainment experiences.
