Since I was late in the game to get season tickets, only thing available was the casino parking in the structure, which I snatched up. I got there 2 hours before kick off. I was expecting a nightmare scenario based on things I'd heard and read, but it was pretty smooth. There was a decent walk but nothing crazy. Overall it was a better experience than expected.

I'm hoping the Metro line is available. I'll say it again, for the Coliseum, I would park in Santa Monica at the courthouse for $5.00 all day on a Sunday and take the metro round trip from Santa Monica to the venue for $3.50. So a total of $8.50 per game. That was insane! I'm hoping to find a similar situation going forward.

We did that at the coliseum which worked well seeing the street is so close to the stadium. At Sofi the complex is pretty damn big comparatively. Choices are you have your driver drop you off on whichever end/side of the stadium you're on and you will have a good trek in. Or you have your driver que up in the lines entering the complex which will take time to get to the drop off point. From what I heard every road into the complex was jammed and slow. It wouldn't matter to me one bit if we weren't 60 and in "Meh" shape...LOL. We would walk in.
My wife was a uber/lyft driver for 5 years before Covid. She stopped when Covid broke out. I was telling her for years how she was in reality making little to no money when you factor in all the points you listed. She really enjoyed the social aspect of it though. To anyone thinking of being a rideshare driver you really have to factor everything out. The biggest positive for us was getting the 1099 write off for our family income.

Just did the Rams survey for the gameday experience. If you went to the game and get the emailed survey PLEASE do it! The only way they're gonna fix issues is if us customers bring them to their attention!

I'm super jealous of you guys who are able to go to the home games. If I was out there I would gladly pay whatever to park. I'd be the 1st mf'er pulling into the lot. Long walk... I would give 1 fuck. The whole game day experience is just awesome to me. Tailgating for at least 4 hours before game time. The walk with other fans... especially RAM Fans. Shit... that would be priceless to me.
Going to the game is more than just the actual football game for me. I love all of it. Even the long walks back to the vehicle after a loss can be memorable several days after it happens. Soak it in Bruddas... you guys are lucky AF.
I'm sure that the virus has the staff not at full capacity. Most businesses are suffering from this. Hell... I stayed at a phat ass resort in Miami last week and you couldn't order room service after 8pm because of staffing difficulties caused by the virus. No doubt this is also hurting everything surrounding the game day experience at SoFi too.

That's exactly how we were the first few years. As time goes by more annoys us. (plus we're getting older)

LOL. I get that man. Convenience is very nice when you can get it. Especially for us older fucks. You just have to figure out how much you're willing to pay for when it comes to that.
I always try and put my mind on what is called Island Time when I'm not working. You really understand Island Time when you go to remote islands where not one fucker on the island will do anything with a quickness. You can't get them to hurry or stress about almost anything. When you're in a place like that... look around... you'll notice that there are a good number of very old peeps that are doing very good health wise... and there is very little health care available to them. I'm convinced that's it's because they live on Island Time. You better get used to that with where you guys are moving to. It can be very annoying until you allow yourself to get on that time yourself. Then... you won't want to go back.
Just try and switch over to Island Time next time you're there my Brudda. Maybe it will help. LOL

Appreciate you guys posting this up. Sucks that we only have 1 more HOME preseason game to try and work out the kinks. I don't think I can make opening night...but DO plan on hitting ar least 3-4 games this season.
Fingers crossed there are some better parking /tailgate options moving forward.

It was the first game with a large crowd for the venue. I think to not expect a shit show would be unrealistic. Over time, with fan feedback, adjustments will be made to make the overall experience better. It's a marathon not a sprint so it will take awhile. Plus, Stan shelled out $5B large up front. He expects to get paid back in full, any businessman would. This is today's professional sports. Will never be like the old days. Dodger Stadium Yellow Field Box seats were $6 in 1978. Now they are $600. I cannot wait to go and check out a game though, the place looks awesome!!!

I have put SOFI stadium on my bucket list but not this year. Maybe next year I will go to one game.
I used to live in Redondo Beach and remember the Hollywood Park area well.
You're right that it is going to be a nightmare to get to.
Hollywood Park was easy since it had a HUGE parking lot.
Maybe they will have a park and ride somewhere where you can shuttle in eventually.
