Choose your mode first, then confirm the relevant event service and departure point.
Check the route and event-day restrictions
Event schedules and road restrictions affect how you reach the stadium, so confirm the arrangements for your specific event before setting out.
Metro’s SoFi Stadium Express runs every 10 minutes or less beginning 3 hours before kickoff. Return service begins at the start of the fourth quarter, with buses every 5 minutes for 90 minutes after the game. These Express details apply to Rams and Chargers games.
If you drive, stadium parking lots open 4 to 5 hours before NFL kickoff, and entry gates open 2 to 3 hours before kickoff. For concerts and non-NFL games, parking lots open 3 to 4 hours before the event, and entry gates open 1 to 2 hours before it.
Parking passes are assigned to specific zone access points. Enter through the access point assigned to your pass; drivers using a different entrance are turned around and directed to their assigned zone. SoFi Stadium says there is no street parking for events within Hollywood Park and no event parking in Inglewood residential neighborhoods.
If you have an event parking pass, match its assigned zone to the approach instructions before driving. For ticket and entry basics, what to know about SoFi Stadium tickets can help you plan around your event’s entry arrangements.
Plan pickup and drop-off
Rideshare, taxi, limousine, bus, and shuttle drop-offs use the northbound curb lane on Kareem Court.
Drivers must reach Kareem Court via westbound Pincay Drive and follow traffic-control officers’ instructions. For pickup, SoFi Stadium identifies Kareem Court and Manchester Boulevard as the designated rideshare location, but pickup points can depend on the event and service provider. Check your rideshare app for the location assigned to your trip.
If you need accessible parking, the stadium and Hollywood Park lots have ADA stalls on a first-come, first-served basis. Vehicles need a valid ADA placard and a valid parking pass, or must pay the parking fee at the gate. The stadium may offer a limited accessible courtesy shuttle at selected events and can discontinue that service.
Return to Gardena after the event
Plan your return before the event ends, since transit service and pickup arrangements depend on the event and provider.
For Rams and Chargers games, Metro’s Express return service starts at the beginning of the fourth quarter and runs every 5 minutes for 90 minutes after the game. If you are using rideshare, confirm the pickup point in your app rather than assuming it will be the same for every event.
If you parked off-site with Park & Go, its shuttle connects with the Intermodal Transit Facility next to SoFi Stadium. For a bicycle trip, SoFi Stadium has bicycle parking locations throughout the Hollywood Park district and advises bringing your own lock. Micro-mobility services such as Bird or Lime are not allowed within the city or district.
Before you go, check the official site before you go for event-specific transportation, parking, and pickup details.
