World Cup 2026 Fan Guide: Houston to Los Angeles

Inter-city logistics and stadium guide for traveling supporters

🚀 MATCHDAY UBER/LYFT SURVIVAL HACK (DESTINATION)

How to beat the Surge Pricing at SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles):

Never try to call an Uber within the immediate SoFi lake loop after the game. Walk 15 minutes east to the outer edges of Hollywood Park Casino or toward the commercial hotels on Century Blvd. Prices drop by half and you avoid the painful gridlock on Prairie Ave.

Official Gate Drop-off Area: Dedicated rideshare zones are located at Lot N near the Hollywood Park Casino.
