I haven’t done it, but I’d try the metro green line (you pick it up at the holiday garden inn, a couple BLOCKS next to yours) and ride to Hawthorne station. Sorry I thought embassy was closer, but anyway that neighborhood is nicer to walk.

I think there are free buses from that Hawthorne/Lennox station to SOFI on game day.

You’ll have to wait in line to get on those busses and wait in line to get on the metro on game days. So I’m sure it’s not going to be hassle free. But if you’re patient and not in a rush, it’ll work.

I know the area pretty well and my kids are used to buses, trains etc. But is there a public transport gameday option from an LAX area hotel (Embassy Suites) to SoFi

I have taken my 9 year old son to two games using the train already. BUT I am not coming from LAX. You are correct, the new LAX connection and Crenshaw line are not done yet. Probably by next season. Then LAX will finally be directly linked to the rail and the Inglewood station will be less than a mile from SoFi .

My reservations were for the Embassy Suites North on Century. But I just looked again and stuff in El Segundo is available at a decent rate. I think when I reserved a few months ago they still had a couple of those hotels closed or held at rack rates.

Just changed my reservation. Thanks.

That is the same hotel I am staying at. I will be there week 3, happy to report back how it goes. Tho I will not have children with me. Just a St. Louis Rams fan.

Lol. Disregard my same hotel post.

I want to be by the airport as it’s such a short trip.

Great info! Thank you. I will likely try this if Uber is looking to be a pain.

I don’t know how much additional time you have, but if it were me… I’d stay south of century. Downtown El Segundo is actually a secret little enclave in LA. As a lifelong Angelenos, I’m still surprised when I roll through downtown El Segundo. It feels like a whole different world. Lots of small local coffee shops and even cool little bars with some micro brews.

That area around Maple and Nash is a bit of that. Super quiet and safe at night. Just a whole different vibe than north of Century which is more LA proper (urban, dirty, etc).

Since you’re probably taking a shuttle directly to your nearby hotel, if you have a choice and it cost about the same— I’d stay south of Century hotels. The hotel shuttle to embassy is going to take almost equal time to take you to garden inn.

Some great info here, guys.

I'm planning to maybe hit up the AZ game.
My main concern is the parking/traffic situation.
Looks like there is a "Green Line/Metro" option, where you can park in a metro lot for a few bucks and take the metro to (or close to) the stadium.

A few times at the Coli.. we would just walk around for an hour and get a little further from the stadium to call an Uber. Seems like that might have to be an option as well... but the rates might not be worth it.

Looking forward to reading more info as it comes in.

Thank you - I will look into that.

Ziggy, I sent you a PM with a question.
