Los Angeles Rams Travel Guide
The Rams began in Cleveland in 1936, moved to Los Angeles in 1946, left for St. Louis in 1995, and returned in 2016. Since 2020 they have played at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, a partly sunken venue under a translucent canopy with a double-sided video board suspended over the field. It is the most expensive stadium ever built and shares the site with the wider entertainment district around it.
What a trip around Los Angeles Rams looks like
Fan travel angle
SoFi is worth seeing as a building whether or not you care about the team, and it anchors an event district that also takes in an arena and the venues being used for the 2028 Olympic Games. The catch is the usual Los Angeles one: the stadium is in Inglewood, not central LA, and the difference between an easy day and a long one is entirely down to where you booked your hotel.
Getting to SoFi Stadium
The transit picture on a matchday, and what changes after full time.
The Metro K Line reaches the Inglewood area, but there is no station directly at the stadium and the final leg is a shuttle or a long walk. Most attendees drive or use rideshare. Rideshare pickup is staged in dedicated lots that can be a 10 to 15 minute walk from your seat. LAX is unusually close, roughly four miles away.
Full SoFi Stadium venue guideOn a matchday
Where fans go before and after
- The stadium campus itself, which has its own bars and plaza space
- Downtown Inglewood, walkable from the venue with local bars rather than chains
- El Segundo and Manhattan Beach, the closest practical hotel and dining base
- Downtown LA for the best evening, accepting a thirty to sixty minute trip each way
Plan around this
- The stadium is in Inglewood. Downtown LA is a thirty to sixty minute trip depending on traffic, and Santa Monica is worse.
- The Metro K Line reaches the Inglewood area and is the best transit option, but it still leaves a walk or shuttle at the end.
- Rideshare pickup is staged in dedicated lots that can be a ten to fifteen minute walk from your seat. Build it into your departure timing.
- Parking is sold by lot in advance and the closer lots go early. Buy ahead rather than arriving and hoping.
Stadium tours
SoFi Stadium runs public tours covering the field level, the suites and the canopy structure. It is among the better stadium tours in the United States. The event calendar is heavy, so availability varies week to week and booking ahead is necessary.

Frequently asked questions
Is SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles?+
It is in Inglewood, southwest of downtown Los Angeles and close to LAX. Plan your hotel around that rather than around central LA.
Can I take public transport to SoFi Stadium?+
The Metro K Line serves the Inglewood area and is the best option, though it leaves a walk or a shuttle at the end. Rideshare and pre-bought parking are the alternatives.
Do two NFL teams share SoFi Stadium?+
Yes, the stadium is home to two Los Angeles NFL clubs, which means more home dates and a fuller calendar. Confirm which team is playing on your date before booking.
