Okay, so, I recently went to the Taylor Swift concert at SoFi Stadium, and let me tell you, figuring out the parking situation was a whole thing. I mean, I knew it was going to be busy, but wow, it was another level! So, I thought I’d share my experience here, just in case any of you are planning to go to an event there and want to avoid the parking headache I went through.
First off, I started by looking up some info online. I found out that there are a bunch of different websites where you can actually reserve parking spots ahead of time. That sounded like a good idea, right? Less stress on the day of the event. I stumbled upon this service called “Inglewood Park & Go” which seemed pretty legit. They promised a “convenient, affordable, and safe” parking option.
So, I went on their website, and they had a map of all these different parking lots near the stadium. They recommended a couple of spots, like one on N. Prairie Ave. and another on Aerick St. I think they partnered with this other company, SpotHero, to handle the bookings. The price for the Taylor Swift concert was around $50, which, honestly, I thought was a bit steep, but I guess that’s the price you pay for convenience, especially at big events like this.
But here’s where it got a bit tricky. Apparently, SoFi Stadium is kind of notorious for having parking issues. I read somewhere that they say they have 17 lots, but the actual number of spaces is a big secret or something. Some people guessed there might be around 10,000 spots, but for a stadium that can hold like 70,000 people, that’s not a lot, you know?
Anyway, I decided to go with the Park & Go option because I really didn’t want to deal with the chaos of trying to find a spot on the day. They have multiple locations, with over 4,000 parking spaces around the stadium and other places.
I ended up reserving a spot in one of the recommended lots, paid online, and got a confirmation. It was all pretty smooth, to be honest. I guess that’s the advantage of planning ahead.
On the day of the concert, I drove to the lot, showed my reservation, and parked without any issues. It was a bit of a walk to the stadium, but nothing too crazy. And after the concert, it was pretty easy to get out of the lot and back on the road.
So, yeah, that’s my SoFi Stadium parking story. If you’re going to an event there, I definitely recommend looking into reserving a spot beforehand. It might cost a bit more, but in my opinion, it’s worth it to avoid the stress and hassle of finding parking on the spot. Plus, with all the people going to these events, it’s probably a good idea to have a plan.
- Look up parking options online: There are different services like Inglewood Park & Go.
- Reserve in advance: It might cost more, but it saves you time and stress.
- Check the map: Some lots are closer to the stadium than others.
- Be prepared for crowds: Especially for big events, parking will be packed.
In a nutshell,
Planning is key when it comes to parking at SoFi Stadium. Do your research, reserve a spot, and you’ll be good to go. Hope this helps someone out there!
