On a side note, I have only been to a half dozen stadiums. Is there a 60k+ stadium that handles traffic really well? I honestly don’t know. Dodger stadium is always hard to get out. Qualcomm was beast too and had the train. Angel stadium seems to work well but less people. Hockey and basketball are not the same as only 20k people.

Ones I’ve been to and are noted for not being traffic/parking hellholes:
-Ed Jones Dome and Busch Stadium St. Louis
-MB Dome Atlanta
-Superdome New Orleans
-Lucas Oil Indianapolis
-Nissan Stadium Nashville
-Target Field and the Vikings stadium Minneapolis
-Browns Stadium Cleveland

The consistent for those are they are in/near downtowns, have drinking/entertainment nearby to slow people’s arrival/departure, be near direct public transportation access and have highway entrance/exit ramps right by the stadium.

Dropping a stadium in the suburbs, surrounding it with parking on all 4 sides and giving very limited/no public transportation options is a recipe for traffic problems
-ATT Stadium Dallas
-Arrowhead and Kauffman Kansas City
-Miller Park Milwaukee
-Truist Field Atlanta

One thing they might need to look in to for SoFi is to have reversible lanes like some of the streets around ATT Stadium and Raymond James Stadium. Those stadiums aren’t situated right by freeways and don’t have rail lines servicing them. But they have the city streets set up with overhead directional arrows that flip so that 3-5 lanes will be inbound and 1 lane outbound before a game and then will be flipped at half time.

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!

@Elvis Good to hear you had no issues with the WiFi. I tried posting a few times in the first half to social media and couldn't. The main food concession closest to our section had at least a 15-20 minute line from game start to the 4th quarter. We left halfway thru the 4th and the line was still long. I waited in line for beer once, luckily the Beer guy walked by and he literally pulled me outta line. Same price... same brand. He saved me at least 20 mins.

I hate to be Negative Nancy but I don’t think the labor shortages and resulting issues will be fixed this year or next.

-I’ve been to Wrigley Field for a weeknight April/May game where the Cubs play a turd like the Miami Marlins, it’s 50 degrees and damp and 10,000 people in the stadium. But they’ll have most every stand open. Needless to say the ice cream stands and Mai Tai bars were closed. I just went to a sold out summer weekend game and they had more stands closed. Plus they had like 1/4 of the hawkers working you normally see.

-Busch Stadium in St. Louis used to have a waiting list to work there and was always staffed. Now there are closed stands, the ones that are open are short staffed and they’re advertising for workers.

-One old friend that works at Busch reached out to me about bar tending even though I’ve been out of that for 15 years. He gets a $500 finders fee if I last the rest of the season.

-We were at Navy Pier in Chicago and every restaurant was an understaffed disaster. They closed the Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville tourist trap at 5:30pm on a Thursday because they had no staff.

It’ll get better but it’s tough to hire people now. Everyone is milking EDD lol

Missouri killed the EDD months ago:way back in April. We were one of the first to shut that off and that still hasn’t fixed anything.

wtf?

Aside from the hotdog, that food looks a lot better than what we were served.

My wife had that bunned sandwich and it was laughable. A steamed, drippy, greasy, piece of slop.

it looks like two things happened with this food:

1. concessionaires were unable to hire enough people with food service experience.
2. these same inexperienced people were sent to costco at the eleventh to purchase something, anything, to sell because the concessionaires didn't get their deliveries.
