SoFi Stadium

L.A.’s newest stadium is simply unlike any other in L.A., or really anywhere else for that matter. For starters, it’s massive—and as the home of the Rams and Chargers, now the largest in the NFL—and flanked by a lake and a public park. It also somehow successfully translates L.A.’s ubiquitous indoor-outdoor vibes into a 70,000-person stadium (with a capacity that can expand as high as 100,000). A translucent plastic skin over the entire structure allows for plenty of diffused natural light, while its open ends let a current of cool air float across the field. That setup is a little less successful for concerts, though; in our experience, the acoustics are remarkably muddy, and they only get more indecipherable the higher up you go.

On the food side, you’ll find four concepts from local faves Jon & Vinny. If you don’t feel like shelling out for concert tickets or a game (Super Bowl LVI in 2022 as well as, most likely, parts of the 2028 Summer Olympics), the stadium itself is worth a visit (you can book a tour for $30).

You’ll also find the YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park, a 6,000-seat theater on the southeast corner of the stadium.
