There's no ifs, ands, or buts about it: Honda Center is in a very lively, popular part of town. People equate traffic. This is nothing new. The area along Katella, the main drag, will be active so plan accordingly and keep cool. Sometimes it's faster to park near the 57 freeway and enjoy a pleasant stroll (translation: sometimes, yes, from a certain distance, it can be faster to just park and walk!).
