‘yahoo!’ further stated that fans finally got to experience the new amenities and renovated areas that were just unveiled as part of the iconic arena’s comprehensive three-year renovation project.

Among the new and reimagined arena locations now accessible to guests are:

An expanded and reimagined Chairman’s Club that will provide select season ticket members and VIP guests new benefits and experiences at the Crypto.com Arena’s most private and sought-after location before, during and after events; and
Two new LED screens and ribbon boards visible to the upper and lower bowl seating areas, handled by Toshiba, a Founding Partner of Crypto.com Arena.

Among the installations are:

Three levels of Ribbon Boards that are more than 3,000 linear feet of versatile video displays which can be programed uniquely for each team and event;
Two new giant LED wall video displays measuring approximately 21 feet high by 65 feet wide each and capable of variable content zoning allowing each to show one large image or to be divided into multiple zones to show any combination of live video, instant replays, statistics, graphics, animations, and sponsorship messages;
A redesigned and upgraded Impact Sports Bar and Grill on the Main Concourse that will offer guests new food and beverage menus;
Improvements to the Main Concourse marked by an entirely new arrival experience, as well as upgrades to the Upper-Level Concourse including remodeled refreshment stands offering new food selections among other fan amenities on each level including:
- An innovative in-arena concession experience with the opening of two new grab-and-go locations powered by Amazon’s frictionless Just Walk Out technology. Visitors to Crypto.com Arena will now have the opportunity to take what they want without having to stop to check-out while shopping at the Bud Light Seltzer Market and the Michelob Ultra Market, located on the Main Concourse between Sections 105 and 108.

To make their purchases more efficient while allowing them the ability to return to their seats quicker, guests entering the stores simply insert their method of payment at the entry gates and start shopping. As they select food and beverage items, Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology determines what they take from or return to the shelves. Upon exiting, the method of payment they inserted at the entry gate will be charged for the items taken.

The credit card service company American Express is the official payment partner of Crypto.com Arena, providing select Card Member benefits at various events.

The Just Walk Out technology-enabled locations will sell beer, wine, seltzers, ready-to-drink cocktails, soft drinks, coffee, water, and other select food and beverage items. Guests purchasing alcohol will be required to show their ID to a store attendant for age verification.
