What to Expect
SoFi Stadium sits in the heart of the Hollywood Park development in Inglewood, California, a gleaming, futuristic venue that opened in 2020 as the most expensive stadium ever built. The Chargers share SoFi with the LA Rams, but on Chargers game days the stadium transforms with powder blue and gold. The translucent ETFE canopy overhead provides sun and light rain protection while keeping the sides open to the Southern California breeze. The Chargers' fanbase is smaller but growing, creating a more intimate, underdog atmosphere compared to their Rams co-tenants. The surrounding Hollywood Park district features Lake Park, restaurants, and entertainment options that give the pregame experience a distinctly modern LA feel.

Walk around the Pink Lot tailgate and bring some cash. There's no food for sale officially but donations are appreciated - be cool and polite and you'll walk into SoFi with a full stomach.
Book parking in advance on one of the parking apps. The Forum lot is a super easy walk across the street. On-site parking is only available from resellers since season ticket holders get first dibs.
Park at one of the Metro stations like Redondo Beach and take the park-and-ride shuttle. Way cheaper than on-site parking and you avoid all the Inglewood traffic after the game.
Not a bad seat in the house even in the 500 level. Pick the lot closest to the gate you plan to enter because the stadium grounds are larger than they seem and you will do a lot of unnecessary walking otherwise.
Bring sandwiches to eat after the game in the parking lot while waiting for traffic to die down. SoFi food is not great for the price.
Show up no later than 1.5 hours before kickoff. Pregame in the tailgate section before you go inside - it is free and really chill. Buy a 6-pack and drink before the game then just buy a tall can in the second quarter.
Arrive more than an hour before kickoff. Later than that and the stadium may move you to a non-tailgating lot regardless of your pass.
Parking has to be pre-purchased through ParkWhiz; there is no drive-up option published.
Suites hold up to 30 guests and include VIP parking, food and beverage packages and private restrooms.
Inglewood's Park & Go shuttles run from remote lots and from the Intermodal Transit Facility beside the stadium.

These figures are estimates. Most venues no longer publish the numbers behind them — concession and ticket pricing moved to dynamic marketplaces — so we hold them as estimates rather than dating them as verified.
- Parking prices — Never checked against a published rate: the venue's parking page, read 2026-09-05, publishes none — fees vary by event and are announced when the event goes on sale, the gates take credit cards only, and no zone carries a figure. The 2026-07-27 figures were compiled from third-party listings (was: "SoFi Stadium 2026 NFL games: zone pricing from about $40 (Yellow) to $80 (Hyundai Blue), mid zones $50-$60; all passes prepaid and mobile only, no walk-up sales (World Cup pricing excluded)").
