Metro Tips

  • Trains run every 6 to 12 minutes on event days — check the Metro app before you leave.
  • Board at 7th St/Metro Center downtown for the fastest connection from central LA.
  • The K Line connects to the C Line (Green) at Crenshaw/LAX station for airport transfers.
  • Tap your TAP card or phone at the gate — single rides are $1.75 as of 2026.
  • On sold-out NFL or Clippers nights, trains fill fast after the game. Leave 10 minutes early or wait 20 minutes for the next train to thin out.

Rideshare

Uber and Lyft Tips

Avoid post-event surge pricing

  • Surge pricing on NFL game days at SoFi can reach 3x to 5x normal rates within the first 30 minutes after the final whistle.
  • Follow venue staff direction to the designated staging area — street pickups are rarely permitted near entrances.
  • For Intuit Dome Clippers games, the Madison St pickup zone fills within 10 minutes of the final buzzer. Walk one block east to reduce wait time.
  • LAX is 3 miles from Hollywood Park — a standard Lyft to the airport runs $12 to $18 on a non-event night.

How far is SoFi Stadium from LAX?+
SoFi Stadium is approximately 3 miles from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). In normal traffic, the drive takes 8 to 12 minutes via Century Blvd. On NFL game days, Century Blvd can back up significantly, so plan for 20 to 30 minutes from LAX by car, or take the Metro K Line instead.

How much does the Metro K Line cost to Inglewood venues?+
A single Metro K Line ride costs $1.75 per trip using a TAP card or the Metro app. A Day Pass is $7 and covers unlimited rides for the day — worth it if you are making a round trip plus any connecting lines. The K Line fare is the same as all Metro rail lines in Los Angeles. From LAX, a single tap at Aviation/LAX covers the entire trip to Downtown Inglewood or Westchester/Veterans station without any additional fare.
Is the Metro K Line safe to take to Inglewood venues at night?+
Yes, the Metro K Line is generally safe for event-night travel to and from Inglewood venues. On game and concert nights, trains are crowded with fans — crowded trains are typically safer and more comfortable than empty ones. Platform security and Metro ambassadors are stationed at major stops on event nights. As with any urban transit, stay aware of your surroundings, walk with the crowd to the venue, and avoid isolated areas. The K Line runs through a well-traveled corridor connecting LAX, Inglewood, and the Crenshaw district.
How do I get from Downtown Los Angeles to SoFi Stadium?+
The fastest option from Downtown LA is the Metro K Line. Board at 7th St/Metro Center or Wilshire/Western and ride to Westchester/Veterans station, then walk 8 minutes east to SoFi Stadium. Total transit time is approximately 35 to 45 minutes and costs $1.75. By car, take the I-405 South to Century Blvd East — budget 45 to 60 minutes on NFL game days due to traffic on Century Blvd. Rideshare from Downtown LA costs approximately $35 to $65 depending on traffic and surge pricing.
Can I walk between SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater?+
Yes. SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater are a 5-minute walk apart via the BLVD outdoor corridor within Hollywood Park. Walk south from SoFi's main gate through The Trillium dining area — YouTube Theater is at the south end of the pedestrian walkway. Both venues share the Westchester/Veterans Metro station and the same parking structures, making back-to-back visits straightforward. Intuit Dome is a 15 to 20 minute walk east along Century Blvd from the Hollywood Park entrance.
Is there free parking near SoFi Stadium or Inglewood venues?+
There is no free parking on or near the Hollywood Park campus on event days. All official lots require pre-purchase. Unofficial street parking in surrounding residential neighborhoods is technically available on some streets, but many blocks within a half-mile have permit-only restrictions that are enforced on major event nights. The Metro K Line at $1.75 each way is the most cost-effective transportation option, replacing official parking costs of $40 to $100 or post-game rideshare surge pricing.
How do I get between Kia Forum and Intuit Dome?+
Kia Forum and Intuit Dome are approximately 1.5 miles apart. The easiest options are rideshare (5-minute, $8 to $12 ride) or walking the 25 to 30 minutes along Prairie Ave North. By Metro, both venues are served by the Downtown Inglewood K Line station — Kia Forum is a 10-minute walk north and Intuit Dome is a 12-minute walk northeast from the same stop. On nights with concurrent events at both venues, the shared Prairie Ave corridor can be heavily congested, making rideshare or Metro faster than driving.
How early should I leave to avoid traffic getting to Inglewood venues?+
For NFL games at SoFi Stadium, leave at least 2.5 to 3 hours before kickoff if driving. For Clippers games at Intuit Dome and concerts at Kia Forum, 90 minutes is sufficient for most events. For major touring concerts at SoFi Stadium (Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Coldplay), treat it like an NFL game and leave 2.5 hours early. The main bottleneck is Century Blvd between the I-405 and Hollywood Park, which backs up for all large SoFi events. The Metro K Line bypasses all freeway and surface traffic entirely.
What is the easiest way to get to Inglewood venues without a car?+
The Metro K Line is the most reliable car-free option. From Downtown LA, board at 7th St/Metro Center and ride to Downtown Inglewood station (for Kia Forum and Intuit Dome) or Westchester/Veterans station (for SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater). From LAX, take the free LAX Connector shuttle to Aviation/LAX Metro station, then ride the K Line north — total time from LAX to SoFi is about 25 to 35 minutes. Round-trip Metro cost is $3.50. Rideshare is the alternative but surge pricing on popular events makes it expensive — expect $30 to $75 one way for post-event rides.
