Alright Ram Brothers. My 8 year old Son has become a die hard fan these past few years and everything in his life is Rams!! I just purchased 2 tickets for the game against the Cardinals on 10/18. I use to live in Gilroy, Ca and have been a California Native for 48 years but uprooted our family and escaped to Idaho in 2020. Just reaching out for info on attending a game at SoFi. Is it better to fly in the day of the game or the day before. If we left at 5am from Boise. We would arrive at LAX around 10am. I know the airport isn’t too far from the stadium. Should we come in Saturday instead and fly back after the game later that night? What hotel should we use out there if we decide to come a day earlier? What time does the stadium start to let people in on game day? I want him to experience everything as a young fan. I even want him to experience all the Ram fans at the tailgate as well. His mind is gonna be blown to see all the other Ram fans that day. A reason why I picked the Cards game over every other game. Thanks for any info in advance. We are in section 345 and was wondering how the views were of the game as well. Appreciate you all and see you at the game

Fly in the night before, will be less rushed.
Hotel-- that really depends on your budget. Any hotel near LAX will do, just depends on your preference and budget. Ive stayed at the H and Homewood, very nice, good pool, etc.
Get to the game early I believe its 90 minutes prior for gates opening, may be more, im sure others will chime in. Make sure to hit the Equipment room, they have stuff you cant find online.
Thats middle of MLB playoffs, catch the Dodgers on that Saturday if your a baseball fan.
Enjoy it!

Thank you!! I’ve decided to fly out Saturday and leave Sunday evening. Thanks for the info
You will enjoy it. We flew out to catch the Detroit game last year. It was very cool. We stayed near Venice Beach. Stayed out a few days, left Wednesday morning. Drove around Malibu, went up to the Hollywood Hills to the observatory, and drive around Beverly Hills and caught a comedy show. Obviously you can't catch a comedy show with an 8 yr old, but if you do decide to stay an extra day or two, there are things to check out.
I will add, outside of those rich areas, I wasn't impressed with the city's cleanliness and overall vibe. I mean, when we were waiting for the shuttle from the car rental to the airport, a heroine addict was digging through the trash, with a knife, cutting off paper bag twine handles. Apparently using them to tie off his arm so he can shoot up. Was not really thrilled standing that close to half stoned junkie with a blade.
So just be aware of your surroundings.

So Fi is a great stadium.
Cool vibe and sight lines are great.
Our upper deck seat (about 35 yard line) provided better views than my lower lever 40 yard line seat in the Big A.
Here is the downside......they put fucking refried beans on a hot dog.

Cruise on down to Woody's BBQ right after the game. But you gotta get there before they close. It just doesn't feel like a visit to Inglewood without a stop at Woody's.

Come in the night before I would. We stay at the LAX Marriott, which has a sports bar there and fans gather. Lot of Rams fans from round the country stay there. One piece of advice - from most of the LAX hotels there is a ‘luxury shuttle’. $40 per person but takes out all the stress/aggro about getting to and from the stadium. Worth every penny.
