SoFi Stadium in Inglewood: getting there and planning a visit

From Hollywood Park Motel, SoFi Stadium is about a 10-minute walk or a 6-minute drive. You can pair a stadium visit with the nearby Kia Forum. Plan your approach with your event’s entrance and transport instructions in mind, since access and services can vary by event.

If you’re walking, bicycles can be parked at racks along the stadium exterior, but they are not permitted on the plaza. Tour tickets include complimentary parking at SoFi Stadium. For hotel details, see this hotel information.

SoFi Stadium has 12 guest entries, and the entry number determines which side of the venue you approach. Entries 1–5 are on the north side, Entries 6–7 on the west side for VIP and premium access, Entries 8–10 on the south side, and Entries 11–12 on the east side for VIP and premium access.

All guests and their possessions are subject to searches before entry. Screening may involve a walk-through or handheld metal detector. The stadium has a clear-bag policy and strongly encourages guests not to bring bags or containers; allowed bags depend on the event’s policy and are inspected at entry.

Bottles and cans are prohibited, with an exception for one factory-sealed 20-ounce plastic water bottle or one empty, clear, reusable, non-metal 20-ounce water bottle per guest. Coolers and hard-sided containers are not allowed.

Guests aged 3 years and older need a ticket for SoFi Stadium events. For non-NFL events, the event may set its own child-ticket policy.

Public elevators serve all concourses, with priority for guests with disabilities. A pedestrian ramp on the southeast side, behind the end zone, reaches every interior level except Level 7.

Every restroom is accessible to guests with disabilities. For designated events, complimentary wheelchair escorts can take guests from entry gates to seating areas and back; the wheelchair does not stay with the guest during the event.

On-site parking requires a parking pass; guests without one will be turned away and directed to off-site options. The stadium advises buying parking online before arrival and says on-site prices increase on the event day. Accessible parking stalls are available in all SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park lots on a first-come, first-served basis.

For NFL events, on-site parking inventory is extremely limited. The stadium recommends the City of Inglewood-operated Park and Ride program and public transportation as alternatives if you do not have a parking pass. For parking considerations at another event venue in the district, see this YouTube Theater parking guide.

For the NFL game-day shuttle, take Metro’s C or K line to LAX/Metro Transit Center Station. The SoFi Stadium Express boards at Bus Bay 8 there.

Rideshare drop-off for Uber and Lyft is curbside on Kareem Court between Pincay Drive and Manchester Boulevard; pickup points vary by event and provider, so check your app. Limousine drop-off and pickup are allowed only at the designated spot on Kareem Court north of Pincay.

Event-specific policies affect arrival, entry and transport, so check the official site before you go. For football games, guests arriving after kickoff may enter until the final whistle or end of the game, although some gates close after the first quarter.

Gates 2, 3, VIP 6, VIP 7, 8B, 10B, VIP 11 and VIP 12 remain open through the event.

Small collapsible umbrellas that fit inside an approved clear bag are permitted; larger umbrellas are not allowed inside. The Kia Forum visitor guide covers another Inglewood event venue.
