Quick answers
What time does the SoFi Stadium Pink Zone open?
5 hours before kickoff. Every other zone opens 4 hours before. Get there more than 1 hour before kickoff, or you may be moved to a non-tailgating lot.
Can you grill at SoFi Stadium?
Yes, in the Pink Zone only, and only with natural gas or propane. Charcoal grills, wood stoves, oil fryers and open fires are banned.
Can you drink at Rams tailgates?
Yes, responsibly. Carry a government-issued photo ID, skip the drinking games and pour into cans or plastic, since glass is banned. No alcohol after kickoff.
Do you need a ticket to tailgate?
Yes. Everyone on the campus on game day needs a game ticket. With one, you can walk into the Pink Zone to join a tailgate that's already set up, but every car needs a Pink Zone pass.
How do you buy parking?
In advance. There's no day-of parking at SoFi. On-site parking is sold out for the season and resells on Ticketmaster, but Pink Zone passes can't be transferred or resold, so start at the Rams' parking page.
Where to park
No pass, no parking. Your pass names a zone, and you have to enter at that zone's gate.
- Pink Zone
- Lots I, P and Q, the only tailgating zone. Come in westbound on Century Blvd in the curb lane and turn right on Yukon Ave.
- Other zones
- Blue, Brown, Green, Orange and Purple are parking only. Nothing goes on the ground around your car.
- Your pass
- Mobile only, in your phone's wallet or the Rams app. Screenshots aren't accepted.
- Bus / RV
- Not available. Oversize vehicles are no longer allowed in the Pink Zone.
- Accessible
- All zones, with a parking pass plus a placard or plate. First come, first served, and the placard holder has to be there.
- Rideshare
- Kareem Ct, north of the stadium off Pincay Dr. Use 3178 Pincay Dr as the address.
Search "SoFi Stadium - Parking" in your map app and pick your zone, the way the stadium tells you to.
Parked with friends? Both cars need passes for the same zone, and you have to pull in together. No saving spaces.
No car? Take the Metro C or K Line to LAX/Metro Transit Center and catch the free SoFi Stadium Express at Bus Bay 8. It runs every 10 minutes or less, starting 3 hours before kickoff.

Where the party is
Every Pink Zone tailgate gets the same box: a 9 x 18 stall and a 9 x 6 strip behind it. Nobody out-sprawls anybody here, so the setups people remember win on the food.
The only zone
The Pink Zone
Lots I, P and Q in the southeast corner, off Century Blvd. It opens an hour before everything else, and spots are limited.
No pass? Walk in
A friend's tailgate
Anyone with a game ticket can walk into the Pink Zone to join a tailgate that's already set up. Stay inside that tailgate's space.
The no-grill pregame
Hollywood Park
No pass at all? The Rams point fans to the shops and restaurants at Hollywood Park, about a 10-minute walk from Entries 8 and 9.
What to eat
Gas and propane only, so think flat-top and burner food. Cook for your own crew: selling food or drinks, or bringing in a caterer, is banned.
Cook thisWhat to cook at a tailgate (that survives the lot)Getting out
Inglewood drains slowly after the final whistle. Your options, best first:
- Ride the shuttle. The free SoFi Stadium Express back to LAX/Metro Transit Center starts at the beginning of the 4th quarter and runs every 5 minutes for 90 minutes after the game.
- Pink Zone? Out by Yukon. The official exit map sends Pink Zone cars down Yukon Ave to Century Blvd, either direction. Routes can change with traffic.
- Rideshare from Kareem Ct. Pickup is north of the stadium, off Pincay Dr. Expect delays right after the game, so pick a meeting spot before kickoff.
Skip this
Sit in the exit line. Hollywood Park's restaurants are about 10 minutes from Entries 8 and 9. Dinner beats brake lights.
First time here?
- No Pink Zone pass, no tailgate. Every other zone is parking only.
- Get there more than 1 hour before kickoff, or you may be moved to a non-tailgating lot.
- Bring weights for the canopy. Stakes aren't allowed.
- No in-and-out for cars. Once you're parked, you're parked until the game is over.
- Your parking pass lives on your phone, and screenshots don't count.
- Clear bag only. The cooler stays at the car.
Visiting? How to join a tailgate
Anyone with a game ticket can walk into the Pink Zone and join a tailgate that's already set up, as long as you stay inside its space. Bring something to share and keep the trash talk friendly.
