History | Parking & Getting There | Seating & Capacity | Food & Concessions

Home to NFL’s Los Angeles Rams and the L.A. Chargers, SoFi Stadium is located on the westside of Los Angeles in Inglewood between the 110 and 405 freeways. Part of one of Los Angeles’ most impressive and sprawling entertainment complexes, SoFi Stadium features a four-story Infinity screen spanning the field and a seismic moat to keep the stadium safe during earthquakes. It’s also the centerpiece of the burgeoning Hollywood Park entertainment complex — a whopping 98 acres of retail shops, restaurants, hotels, residential units, and outdoor park spaces. The naming rights to the stadium are held by San Francisco-based financial services company SoFi Technologies, Inc. (abbreviated as SoFi).

SoFi Stadium History

Opening in late 2020 after breaking ground in 2016, the state-of-the-art SoFi Stadium has already made history as the first stadium to host a conference championship game and the Super Bowl in the same year in 2022. Located on the site of the former Hollywood Park racetrack, the stadium has the honor of hosting several notable events, including the College Football Playoff National Championship in January 2023, WrestleMania 39 in April 2023, World Cup matches in 2026, and the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Privately funded by L.A. Rams owner Stan Kroenke, SoFi Stadium is one of the most expensive football stadiums in the U.S. The complex also includes Hollywood Park, the largest urban mixed-used development in the Western United States, boasting 12 miles of trails, 25 acres of parks, 20,000 square feet of market space featuring restaurants and cafes, and a 12-screen luxurious Cinepolis movie theater. What’s more, the complex houses the YouTube Theater, a cutting-edge 6,000-seat music venue and theater that hosts live concerts, e-sports and other events.

In addition to sporting events, SoFi has also hosted performances by some of the biggest names in music, including Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Weeknd, Doja Cat, Def Leppard, and Mötley Crüe. Super Bowl LXI will also be hosted at SoFi Stadium in 2027.

The design of SoFi Stadium is unique; its swooping lines are an homage to the curves of California’s coast, it has a transparent, asymmetrical roof and a 1 million-square-foot canopy made up of 302 ETFE panels and 27,000 embedded LED pucks, which can project images and video that can be seen from airplanes flying overhead to the nearby LAX airport.

Parking and Admission at SoFi Stadium

Parking during NFL games is limited, so spaces must be reserved and paid for in advance via Ticketmaster or the SoFi Stadium website. Everyone who purchases a parking space will be assigned a specific access point for entering the parking lot. It’s advisable to arrive early and allow plenty of time to navigate traffic and find your spot. SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park also have several accessible ADA parking stalls, available for anyone displaying an ADA placard on a first-come, first-served basis.

Sports fans can also take advantage of off-site parking offered by the City of Inglewood. Public transportation is another option, taking the Metro C Line to the Hawthorne/Lennox Station and Express shuttle service to SoFi Stadium.

The Stadium enforces a clear bag policy; only bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12″ x 6″ x 12″ or one-gallon clear plastic freezer bags will be permitted. Large purses, backpacks, diaper bags and briefcases are not allowed, but small clutch bags that are 4.5″ x 6.5″ or smaller may be carried into the stadium along with one of the clear bag options.

SoFi Stadium Capacity & Seating Options

The Stadium bowl has open sides and seats 70,240 spectators for most events, with the ability to expand by 30,000 seats for larger events. VIP Club Sideline seats are located in the midfield with excellent sight lines. There are four sections on the 100 level and six sections on the 200 level consisting of VIP sidelines. The reserved section of the 200s level offers spectacular views and comfortable loge boxes.

Why is there no AC at SoFi Stadium?

SoFi Stadium doesn’t have air conditioning in most of the venue, because it’s designed to naturally cool itself. The stadium’s roof and walls are designed to allow ocean breezes to flow through, while openings are aerodynamically shaped to pull in breezes and adjust wind flow.

Food & Beverage Options at SoFi Stadium

SoFi offers a wide assortment of food and beverage options at spots named for iconic Los Angeles streets, including Fairfax Avenue, Sawtelle Boulevard and Olvera Street. Focused on representing the city’s prolific food culture, SoFi Stadium partnered with award-winning chefs Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo to create “LA Eats,” which puts a local spin on stadium favorites shaped by the diverse cuisine of the city. Deli sandwiches, hamburgers and hot dogs are plentiful, Mexican food is offered at Olvera Street, and Asian-inspired flavors are available at Sawtelle Boulevard. There are also a few vegan and vegetarian options for plant-based fans. Beer, wine and soda can be found at all food locations.

World Cup at SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles Stadium)

SoFi Stadium (officially rebranded as Los Angeles Stadium for the 2026 World Cup) will host eight matches during the tournament. As a host of the event, the stadium has made multiple changes to accommodate the sport and expected crowds.

World Cup playing surface

SoFi Stadium, the home of the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers, typically features an artificial playing surface composed of Hellas Construction’s Matrix Helix turf. Ahead of the 2026 World Cup, the stadium installed a natural grass field of Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass. The stadium’s regular turf surface is covered by the World Cup regulation sod, along with layers for a sand base, ventilation and drainage.

World Cup seating and section changes

More changes were in store for SoFi Stadium before the World Cup 2026 kicked off. To the standard size soccer pitch in the narrower football field layout, over 400 corner seats were temporarily removed. Overall, the capacity at SoFi Stadium for the World Cup 2026 will be 69,650 seats, compared to its usual maximum capacity of 70,240.

With one of the least impactful stadium adjustments leading up to the tournament, SoFi Stadium has nearly all of the same incredible seat options available for ticketholders. For soccer fans looking for the closest views of the beautiful game, check out the lower level, midfield options between Sections C109 to C112 and Sections C134 to C137. Spirited supporters looking to make their voices heard should gather around the endlines at Sections C118 to C121 and Sections C142 to C145. Meanwhile, families can take in the action with more flexibility and less rambunctious energy from the upper sections at the 300 and 500 levels.

World Cup security and access points

Security will differ from typical Rams and Chargers games and will require more time during entry at the World Cup. Tickets will list the fan’s designated access point. All guests must enter a security screening and present a valid matchday ticket at the gate. On matchday, guests should arrive at least three hours prior to kickoff.

Parking, tailgate, transit options for World Cup

SoFi Stadium offers limited on-site parking. Parking passes are restricted to one matchday ticketholder per space, while supplies last. Tailgating at SoFi Stadium is not permitted during the World Cup. Alternatively, fans are recommended to use public transportation via Metro or the city’s special World Cup park-and-ride service.
