Parking at SOFI & Surrounding Area |

- The casino plus SOFI and other private lots do have parking available for purchase (see link below).
- There is no parking at Cork & Batter (closest is the Casino)
- SOFI Lots open at 1pm; (Pink Zone lots-including bus lot opens at 12) for this game

Public Transportation to Cork & Batter/SOFI |
|
There are a few bus and train options (see link)
If using Uber or Lyft: you can get dropped off at Cork & Batter (might have to use Sonder Lum; its the hotel attached to them) if coming to the tailgate (if arriving after a certain time; the police will shut down certain roads to allow for fans getting into the parking areas so make sure check ahead of time). After the game you will have to check for pick up location near the stadium and just be aware of long wait times and surge pricing. The casino is open 24 hours if you need a place to wait it out after the game.

From the South Bay LA Bills Backers:
For out-of-towners: If you haven’t booked travel yet, I HIGHLY recommend booking your hotel stay in Hermosa Beach. Refer to our custom google map (link below). Hermosa is about 15 minutes south of the LAX Airport. It is a small, safe town community that is AWESOME for nightlife & hanging out at the beach. Taxi’s are usually the easiest transportation out of LAX (vs shared rides). Find/Depart from the “LAX-it” lot (adjacent to LAX with shuttles available from each terminal).
For best value pricing, I recommend the local Hampton Inn, Quality Inn & Holiday Inn. For an upscale accommodation, reserve your room at SW Beach Hotel, “Beach House”, Sea Sprite Motel or H2O. All of these are walking distance to Hermosa Pier & it is a SAFE town overall. Nearby cities Redondo Beach & Manhattan Beach are also a quick Uber/Lyft away. Sofi Stadium is about a ~20 minute drive (without traffic).
Recently added
For those just going to the game and/or tailgate; there were a few rooms still available at Somber Lum which is attached to Cork & Batter.
