Try and stay anywhere in the So Bay (Torrance, Redondo, Hermosa, etc). You're no more than 30 minutes away by car w/o using the freeway and it's safer. More expensive closer to the beach of course. And the 500s are in the top section. I sat there for a pre-season game once - very high with steep staircase up and down. You'll be watching the big screen a lot.
