After an exciting day of watching the Los Angeles football team play at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, it’s time to head home. Make it back safely with these transportation options in our Gameday City Guide.
Transit
Los Angeles Metro Rail serves the entire county, including Inglewood, with its Metro lines. On game days, take the Metro C line and get off at Hawthorne/Lennox station. From there, Metro offers an Express shuttle service to the stadium.
Municipal transit agency GTrans offers an option on Sunday game days, when it runs the 7X stadium express from Harbor Gateway Transit Center for $4 per round trip. Park and ride to the stadium every 30 minutes starting at 8:30 a.m. After the game, buses leave the stadium until 8:15 p.m., except for when it’s a night game, in which case they run until 10:30 p.m.
Another agency, Torrance Transit, also offers a $4 round-trip ride between the Harbor Gateway Transit Center and the stadium. The first bus leaves the transit center three hours before the game starts, and the last leaves 30 minutes before. After the game ends, buses offer return service for up to 90 minutes.
Finally, the city of Inglewood operates a park and ride program that allows you to book your parking online, and then take a shuttle to and from the stadium. Choose from six locations to park, and then board one of the shuttle buses that runs every 15 minutes. After the game, shuttle buses pick up at the stadium every 15 minutes, starting at the end of the third quarter, and return to parking locations.
Rideshare and taxi
If you use a rideshare service or taxi to come to the game, the drop-off location is on the northbound curb lane on Kareem Court. Your driver must access Kareem Court via westbound Pincay Drive.
After the game, the designated pickup area is on Kareem Court and Manchester Boulevard.
Parking
If you want to drive and park, give yourself plenty of time to avoid traffic and crowd delays. Stadium parking lots open four hours before kickoff, so come early to tailgate or to attend the pregame party in the casino parking lot next to the stadium.
Visit the team website to buy your parking pass online. You must have a prepaid pass, or you will be turned away. Review the stadium’s parking maps to ensure that you’re using the designated roads to get to your assigned lot.
You may use accessible parking only with a valid state-issued ADA parking placard or license plate.
After the game, if you have car troubles, text a brief description of the issue and location to 424-541-9222. The stadium will send a team to fix the issue or connect you with a repair service.
Remember if you are drinking at the game, plan for a sober ride home!
Bicycles and skates
The stadium encourages healthy transportation options, such as bicycles and inline skates. Lock your bike to one of the racks outside the stadium, as it is not allowed on the plaza. As for skates, you can store them under your seat during the game, but you must remove them before entering the stadium. Don’t forget to bring a pair of shoes to change into.
No matter how you choose to get home, careful planning and awareness will help you navigate the postgame journey smoothly. So, before leaving your house, check for gameday updates on the stadium website and social media channels, and plan your transportation with confidence.
