Toyota Arena

Toyota Arena sits just north of the 10 in Ontario, a few minutes from Ontario International Airport, and it's the largest indoor room in the Inland Empire. The City of Ontario owns it, Legends Global runs it, and it opened in 2008 under the name Citizens Business Bank Arena. The arena says it can host over 11,000 guests. The Ontario Reign play AHL hockey here and the Empire Strykers play indoor soccer, so for much of the year the floor is ice under the boards. Concerts, comedy and the odd dance music headliner fill the nights in between.

For a lot of people in the IE it saves a long drive into LA for the same tour. Doors open about an hour before the posted time. Bags can be 12 x 12 x 6 inches at most, and backpacks of any size get turned away, so the arena's advice is to leave the bag in the car. It's cashless, with cards only at every stand. Once you're in, you're in. There's no re-entry, though smokers get a permitted area just outside the northwest entrance.

More than 3,500 parking spaces surround the building. The lots open two hours before the event and close an hour after it ends, so don't linger. Rideshare drop-off and pickup is on the north side, reached by Via Asti off Fourth Street, and taxis wait on the northeast side along Ontario Center Parkway.

Going car-free takes a little planning. Metrolink's San Bernardino Line stops at Ontario-East station, and from there it's a short rideshare. Hotel guests in the area can also catch The GOAT, a free local microtransit service, straight to the arena.
