SoFi Stadium Parking: Options and Event-Day Planning

Check the parking pass for your event’s zone, entry gate, hours and fee before you leave. The stadium’s color-coded system assigns lots to zones: Blue includes Lot N; Brown, Lots C and D; Green, Lots A and B; Orange, Lots E, F, G and H; Pink, Lots H, I, P and Q; and Purple, Lots K and L. Red, Yellow and Archer Platinum (Internal) are also included.

You need a valid parking pass to enter a designated stadium lot. A pass covers one vehicle space, and spaces are not pre-assigned unless the pass says otherwise; parking staff direct you to a space. Enter through the gate for your assigned zone, since a pass for one zone cannot be used at another zone’s gate.

For NFL games, the lots open four hours before kickoff; the stadium’s parking page also gives a four-to-five-hour opening range, so use the event pass for the specific time. For concerts and other special events, opening times vary, with lots generally opening two to four hours before the event.

Lots generally close one hour after an event ends, but the pass gives the applicable hours. Fees vary by event and zone, and the stadium announces them as each event goes on sale.

Event-day parking sales may be limited or unavailable, and can cost more than advance parking. Gates accept credit cards only.

If you plan to park with companions, make sure everyone has a pass for the same zone and arrives together; spaces cannot be saved for people arriving later. At peak times, traffic management may direct you to a different zone from the one you purchased.

For entry basics, including what to have ready at the gate, read the guide to SoFi Stadium tickets and entry. Have your digital parking pass ready to scan on your smartphone at the checkpoint for your assigned zone.

Driving is not the only event-day option: the City of Inglewood’s Park & Go program offers remote parking with shuttle service to the Intermodal Transit Facility beside the stadium.

Advance booking is encouraged; drive-up or walk-up rates are higher. For the drive and other ways to reach the venue, the guide to getting to SoFi Stadium from Gardena covers the trip.

For NFL events, the stadium recommends Metro C or K Line service to LAX/Metro Transit Center Station, with a game-day shuttle to SoFi Stadium from Bus Bay 8. GTrans Line 7X runs from Harbor Gateway Transit Center every Sunday for NFL events; parking at the transit center is free, and the round-trip ride costs $4.

The stadium also names Torrance Transit for a $4 round trip and Culver CityBus Line 99 Express for a $2 round trip. Confirm that a service applies to your event before relying on it.

Rideshare, taxis, limousines, buses and shuttles use the northbound curb lane on Kareem Court for drop-off, accessed via westbound Pincay Drive. Kareem Court and Manchester Boulevard are the rideshare pickup location. Check the official site before you go for event-specific parking and transport details.

Use the parking pass to set your arrival time and approach: it gives the earliest arrival time, assigned zone and event-specific parking hours. For NFL games, lots open four hours before kickoff, while concert and special-event opening times vary. The venue recommends arriving when gates open to improve the chance of parking close to the stadium.

Before driving, display the digital pass on your phone and have it ready to scan at the assigned zone’s entry checkpoint. Follow staff directions after entry, since parking spaces are not pre-assigned unless the pass specifies otherwise. If you are meeting companions, arrive together in vehicles with passes for the same zone.

Build your exit plan around the pass as well: lots generally close one hour after an event ends. If you are using a shuttle or transit, verify the event’s service details before choosing it, since the options provided by the stadium include event-specific services.

Accessible parking stalls are available in every stadium and Hollywood Park parking zone, including for concerts and NFL games. They are first come, first served. The vehicle must display a valid state-issued accessible placard or plate and have a valid parking pass, or pay the parking fee at the gate.

If you need close parking, tell the attendant when you arrive; availability is not guaranteed. The venue recommends arriving when parking gates open to improve the chance of parking close to the stadium. An accessible placard is honored only when the vehicle fits within a 9-foot-by-18-foot space without impeding adjacent spaces.

Accessible private-vehicle drop-off follows a specific approach: drive northbound on Prairie Avenue, turn east on Arbor Vitae Street, then turn left onto District Drive. The drop-off point is on District Drive between Champions Way and Touchdown Drive.

Accessible private-vehicle pickup uses a different approach, via La Brea Avenue, east on Arbor Vitae Street, then southbound Prairie Avenue, Victory Street and District Drive. For NFL events, pickup access closes after the start of the fourth quarter. For concerts and other non-NFL events, it closes 1 hour and 30 minutes after show start.

The stadium defines oversized vehicles as RVs, shuttles, buses, motorcoaches or motor vehicles with seating capacity of 16 or more people. For NFL games, they need a Pink Zone—Oversized Vehicle pass for Hyundai Pink Zone Lot P. For non-NFL events, they need a Red Zone—Oversized Vehicle Only pass and enter via Century Boulevard and Yukon Avenue.
