1. Avoid $100 Parking: Do not drive directly to the on-site lots without a prepaid pass. Park at the Hawthorne/Lennox Metro Station (C Line) and take the free express game day bus shuttle.
2. Indoor-Outdoor Canopy: The roof protects against rain and glare, but the open sides let in cool coastal evening air. Bring a light jacket for 5:20 PM night games.
Privately funded by Rams owner Stan Kroenke and opened in 2020 on the historic Hollywood Park racetrack grounds in Inglewood, SoFi Stadium is the most technologically sophisticated sports venue ever constructed. Built 100 feet into the earth due to FAA flight path limits from nearby LAX, the stadium provides an awe-inspiring first impression as fans descend into the bowl.

The Samsung Infinity Screen
Suspended from the soaring steel roof canopy, the Samsung Infinity Screen is an engineering marvel. It is the only double-sided oval video board in professional sports, measuring 120 yards long—longer than the football field itself.
Equipped with over 260 built-in JBL surround-sound speakers, the display broadcasts crystal-clear 4K HDR footage to fans seated in the lower bowl while simultaneously projecting a dedicated inner video feed to fans in the 400 and 500 levels.
Transportation & The Go Metro Shuttle
Traffic across the Century Freeway (I-105) and San Diego Freeway (I-405) in Southern California is legendary.
To bypass traffic and avoid $75+ parking rates, park at the Hawthorne/Lennox Station (Metro C Line). From there, board the dedicated, free "Go Metro" express game day shuttles, which use dedicated bus lanes to arrive at the stadium transit plaza in under 10 minutes.
Iconic LA Concessions: Four Iconic Streets
Concessions at SoFi Stadium are conceptualized after four world-famous Los Angeles culinary thoroughfares:
- Olvera Street: Authentic Mexican street fare, including slow-cooked carnitas burritos, tinga tacos, and tortilla chips with fresh guacamole.
- Fairfax Avenue: Classic Jewish deli-style pastrami sandwiches, double smash cheeseburgers, and crinkle fries.
- Sawtelle Boulevard: Crispy karaage fried chicken sandwiches tossed in sweet chili sauce, sesame slaws, and gyoza.
- San Vicente Boulevard: Wood-fired style artisan flatbread pizzas and hearty Italian meatballs.
