SoFi Stadium tour program offers immersive experience for fans

Since the launch of the tours in May of 2021, SoFi stadium has welcomed over 117,000 attendees.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (KABC) -- Los Angeles has many sporting venues, but none quite like SoFi Stadium in Inglewood and they want to share it with fans. The stadium tour program is an immersive experience that gives unique access to visitors.

The nearly $6 billion SoFi Stadium has had a busy year to say the least. It's hosted power house performances by Beyoncé and Taylor Swift and also WrestleMania and the 2023 College Football Championships earlier this year. With more on the horizon such as the FIFA World Cup in 2026 and the opening and closing Olympic ceremonies in 2028, people are excited to get a look inside.

"You know, even if you're not into football, even if you're not into sports, just to see a structure like this I think is something that's really cool to see," said Josh Cuadra, a tour guest from Rancho Cucamonga.

"Most favorite part is being here on the field," said Chris Romero, another tour guest from Wrightwood. "This is just amazing to see from this perspective, just very impressive."

Since the launch of the tours in May of 2021, SoFi Stadium has welcomed over 117,000 attendees.

Not only do fans get to tour the stadium, but they also get to experience it like the pros do. After checking out the locker rooms, fans get to hang out on the field and try out on field activities including the 40-yard dash, the field goal kick and on-field target throwing.

"It's like, very cool to see," said Molly Douglas who was on a tour with her school from Cerritos. "You watch it on TV, but it's cool to see it in person and to see what they go through to make the game happen."

During the hour-long tour, guests also get to experience the Kinsey Art Collection, one of the largest private collections of African American art and historical artifacts. The exhibit is set up on one of the levels of the stadium.

"Great game day experience in it, but just to get behind the scenes and see the little bits and pieces that you don't get to see just as a fan at a game, has been really well-worth the money I think," said Craig Cowles, who was visiting from New Zealand with his family.

Senior, military and Inglewood resident discounts on tickets are available. You can find ticketing info here .

Angel Stadium Offering Ballpark Tours for the Whole Family All Offseason Long

• Author: Lucas Gordon

In this story:

For those who are missing going to Angel Stadium during the summer to see the Halos play, the team now has an offer that gets fans back to the park.

During the offseason, the Angels are now offering tours of Angel Stadium.

The stadium is joining many others around the league in opening up its doors to fans to discover areas of the park that are usually not seen by most fans. 

Those who purchase tickets on the tour will get exclusive access to different areas such as the press conference room, the visitor's clubhouse and a chance to step on the field. 

Tours are offered on select dates throughout the offseason at 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 2:30 p.m. For Japanese fans, the Angels offer special tours that take place at 1 p.m. on selected days. 

The tours will continue during the baseball season, as well. When the Angels are on the road, select dates will be available to take a tour of the stadium. 

Prices for Angel Stadium tours start at $12 for adults. The prices get cheaper depending on the category each person fits in. Seniors, children and military members all get tickets for $10 and those who are under the age of three can go for free. 

This is the perfect opportunity for any fan to check out one of the oldest ballparks in the MLB.

Looking for good vibes in L.A.? 22 readers share their ‘happy place’

• Copy Link URL Copied!

The Times asked readers to share their happy place in L.A., spots they find themselves returning to again and again to find joy, escape from the grind or simply revel in comfortable nostalgia. The only parameter? They must be public places that others can visit and delight in. For weeks, opening our inbox felt like we were reading a love letter to the city. Here are some of the happy places you shared.

The Original Farmers Market

“It’s one of the few places that still retains an old L.A. flavor and ambience. I spent so many happy times there with my grandparents and parents. A ‘prize’ was always involved, maybe stationery embossed with my name or a blown glass animal (there is still one sitting on my dresser). Then with my own kids making their own memories, watching the peanut butter being made, choosing moccasins from the now-gone moccasin shop at the Dell. And always a visit to Kip’s Toys. Now, I share it all with my grandchildren when the opportunity arises. That’s five generations of good times.” — Cynthia Schein, Newbury Park

Los Angeles City Hall Observatory Deck

“What I love most is how this place embodies the spirit of Los Angeles: In a city where we can often feel disconnected, City Hall stands as a beacon of unity. It’s not just a government building, it’s our shared home, open to all of us. When I’m here I feel like I’m at the heart of L.A., connected to every Angeleno past and present. I have a specific spot where I like to stand, where I can see from downtown to the ocean. I put on my headphones, play Tupac’s ‘To Live and Die in L.A.’ and let the city’s expanse wash over me. Sometimes I count the neighborhoods I can see, other times I just close my eyes and [enjoy] the breeze. It’s my moment of zen in the urban chaos.” — Amir Ebtehadj, West L.A.

The Museum of Jurassic Technology

“My son (9 or 10 years old at the time) had a day off from school so we had a father-son day. His grandparents had taken him to the wonders of Hollywood — the Wax Museum, Ripley’s Believe it or Not. Afterwards I told him there was a museum near our house that I had heard of but never visited: the Museum of Jurassic Technology . Everything in it is implausible yet strangely true. We were blown away. He asked [his mom and me] for a membership for his birthday. The three of us went for tea on their rooftop terrace. He’s a rising junior in college now, but if we met up in Culver City, we’d spend an afternoon at the museum.” — Benjamin Thompson, Culver City

The garden at the Getty Center

“I was a part of the team that opened the Getty Center in 1997, so I feel like the place is part mine. I watched the garden being developed by artist Bob Irwin. I love how he took advantage of the natural terrain with the stream running down the hill. You can almost envision how the site must have looked when Native Americans inhabited the area. The walk down to the garden tells the story of the site’s history, and when you look out you see the great city of L.A. as it is today. You can sit in the garden and forget the stress of the city around you. You can feel part of the centuries that led to today.” — Mary Daily, Culver City

El Coyote Mexican restaurant

“My now-wife suggested we go there on our first date in 1983. Since then, we return to make all of our most important decisions over green corn tamales and margaritas. The decision to get married, to have kids, to buy a house — all have been made at El Coyote. We know most of the waiters and they know us. They remember what we like to order and always take the time to chat with us about what’s going on in our lives.” — Charlie Craig, Pasadena

“I worked there in the 1980s just out of college. The over-the-top waitress uniforms and [year-round] Christmas decor was mesmerizing to me. Forty years later, whether it’s the Great Recession or a pandemic, if I can settle into a red booth in the back with sunlight shimmering through the stained glass and chat with an old friend, I’m happy at least for a moment.” — Jennifer Lewi, Mid-Wilshire

38 classic Mexican restaurants essential to Los Angeles

We tallied a list with scores of classic Mexican restaurants across the region. Here are our top picks.

Sept. 15, 2022

La Loma Bridge in Pasadena

“I grew up within walking distance of both this bridge and the Colorado Street Bridge. Whenever I visit now, I stand facing north to gaze at the iconic Colorado Street Bridge and the majestic San Gabriel Mountains that rise behind it. I look down into the Arroyo Seco Canyon to the natural vegetation that inhabits it and marvel at how a place so sylvan can exist within the hustle and bustle of a modern city. Standing in this spot provides a sense of rootedness — who I am and where I came from. As well it is a beautiful vista, filled with grandeur and natural wilderness. It became my beloved view once I was tall enough to see out of the car window while my mother drove across it. As a child, it was ‘just the way to school,’ but my first visit [back] on foot as an adult brought home to me the true magnificence of this vista. Now when I visit, the bridge remains unaltered and utterly beautiful.” — Kathleen Clary Miller, Fallbrook

Will Rogers State Historic Park

“We’ve been visiting the park since the late ’80s. Beside Will’s original residence, there is a large, peaceful lawn area for picnics and frolicking kids and dogs. There is polo to watch casually on Sundays. And after your relaxing picnic, you can walk/hike the two-mile loop to and from Inspiration Point, which has spectacular views of the Santa Monica Bay from Malibu to Palos Verdes. The sheer peacefulness of the park amidst the bustle of the city makes it an oasis. It is far enough out of the way that it feels like another world, but it’s only a 30-minute drive.” — Geoff Shawcross, Hawthorne

The Marvin Braude Bike Trail from Santa Monica

“What makes me so happy skating here is the combination of the beach views, a smooth path and a plethora of other happy people enjoying their preferred mode of wheeled exercise. It’s especially a magical time at sunset. I learned to skate during the pandemic around the time my mother died of cancer. I constantly came to the beach to grieve and decided to skate on the path one day. It really helped me deal with the stress so I just kept coming back.

“I love to ride my skateboard the length of the bike path. I’ll skate as fast as I can to get a cardio workout in. If I have time, I’ll skate all the way to the Venice skate park and take a break to stretch. Then I’ll skate back to the pier to ride the swings. I’ll swing as high as I can, as fast as possible, until I’m out of breath. Then I’ll hop on my skateboard and skate back to my car. This is the only activity where I can’t help but smile the whole time.” — Sophia White, Westwood Village

8 breezy bike trails that teach you about L.A. as you ride

Whether you’re a native Angeleno or new to the city, one of the best ways to get to know Los Angeles is on two wheels.

Sept. 26, 2022

Rose Bowl Loop

“I started running there when I was in college and loved it. I would run for hours around the same loop, 10 to 15 miles around that thing. Being from the East Coast, I found it pretty cool that the Rose Bowl was in my recreational backyard. It was something I could brag about to friends who lived back east. Now I take my kids there. We even have a commemorative brick at the front on the entrance. I’ve been running this loop for 20 years and it never gets old. I enjoy the people, the activities, the feeling of being off the beaten path and of course the stadium itself.” — Drew Schuster, Pasadena

Vista Hermosa Park

“Just before visiting Los Angeles in summer 2008, I read a story in the Los Angeles Times about the opening of the first public park in downtown L.A. in more than 100 years. I was intrigued by the description of the park created at a former oil field in a low-income area where residents are less likely to have access to a free public park. I remember being amazed during the first visit at how well the area formerly described as a weed-infested, dusty lot had been transformed into an urban oasis with wonderful views of downtown Los Angeles.

“I love that Vista Hermosa Park provides free access to anyone who can walk, ride a bike or drive to it. I get great pleasure watching children of different ethnicities climb the rocks, play in the pond and the short waterfalls and on the soft toy snakes and turtles. I like to walk along the paths looking at the flowers and different trees that grow in the park. It’s a little harder to view downtown as some of the trees have grown a lot since Vista Hermosa opened.

“I got married two years ago and introduced my wife, Kristy, to the park on our last visit in 2022. It was fun to match up the scene from the 2013 music video ‘The Walker’ from Fitz and the Tantrums, where the character walks across the grass toward the city skyscrapers in the background. It was unmistakable the first time I saw the video that’s where that scene took place.” — John Sowell, Boise, Idaho

Union Station

“Sensorily it’s a delight: The squeaking brakes of the approaching train cars, the acoustic resonance of the cathedral-like East Portal as rolling luggage lumbers along the linoleum and the aura of the past as we look up upon Richard Wyatt’s monumental 80-foot-long mural overhead. I enjoy sitting by the aquarium (yes, aquarium) that nests within this alcove populated with indigenous coastal fish. The very picture of tranquility to observe the kaleidoscope of garibaldi and undulating fauna contained therein. It’s a Shangri-la and veritable Atlantis on land to behold.

“In the hurly-burly chaos of the morning commute, I take a moment of respite to stop and enjoy the whimsical and walleyed public artwork on offer. And it eventually became a much-needed daily dose of serenity to keep the widening gyre of anxiety at bay. It’s a salve for the soul, public artwork. And it still retains the same magic as the first time I visited that whimsical Art Deco transportation hub. Every time I step off the platform and onto those hallowed hallways of the concourse, it’s heart shapes and moons and stars in my eyes all over again.” — Tommy Bui, Los Angeles

We’ll take the ease of ticket purchasing, relaxed atmosphere in the stations and breathtaking scenery of train travel over the angst of driving any day.

April 29, 2024

BMO Stadium for LAFC games

“LAFC games are my happy place. I love that the crowd looks like my adopted home, Los Angeles. Supporters chant, sing, drum and jump for the entire game, generating a game-time atmosphere that I think is the best in L.A. sports and in all of Major League Soccer. Excitement, drama, frequent winning, a feeling of community and, yes, occasional frustration make for the place where I spend no time thinking about my problems, where I just talk about and yell, clap and sing for my favorite team. I like to arrive early, meet up with friends and wander through the tailgating on Christmas Tree Lane outside the stadium. Or splurge at Holbox in nearby Mercado La Paloma. I’ve also attended several volunteer and other team-related events at the stadium, and it’s lovely to see the whole place quiet and peaceful.” — Karen Peacock, San Pedro

USC Pacific Asia Museum

“I have been a docent for a year and a half but I’ve been going to the museum ever since I took a shibori workshop there. I love giving tours to students from all over L.A. But I also love it when I’m the first person in the galleries on school tour days and I have the whole museum to myself.” — Lisa Koizumi, Canoga Park

Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook (a.k.a. the Culver City Stairs)

“It’s got a very L.A. vibe: An oasis of nature open to everyone in the middle of a very urban space. It’s an outdoor gym with so many fun characters, people who work out by covering their chest with chains or walking backward up the hill listening to hip-hop music, dragging a huge tire with their kid sitting on it. Most of all it’s got Angelenos from all walks of life, all colors and cultures, all working out on the Culver steps together. It’s an outdoor gym, nature reserve, picnic spot and has a fiesta atmosphere on weekends.” — Thamar Linnemayr, Los Angeles

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel

“It’s a place that simultaneously takes you back in time at the same time it takes you forward. It gives you a vision of a time past when anything was possible, thanks to humankind’s ingenuity, while also peering into a technofuture where everything is still possible. It’s the stuff of dreams ... and probably a few nightmares too. Like if David Lynch built a building to reflect L.A., this would be it. And wherever you are — in the lobby, on one of the midlevels or in the revolving restaurant — you have views on top of views.” — Arun Ponnusamy, Arts District

Barnsdall Art Park

“Walking up the hill to the park’s west-facing lawn has you feeling as though you’re ascending above the rest of the city, as if you’re on Mt. Olympus. Everything becomes quiet and peaceful. There’s often a decent amount of people sitting up there as well, but everyone usually has a similar sense of chillness and tranquility in the setting that it is never too distracting. Sitting on the West lawn, I like to go a bit to the corner at the bottom to be by myself — it offers the perfect sunset view in the evening. I started going there to film segments of my YouTube vlog, as I find that I’m able to get peace of mind up there and my head feels more clear when speaking candidly. It also gives me a chance to not think about filming and take time to just appreciate the city all around and below me, up on that hill.” — Parker Green, Hollywood

Sept. 29, 2022

Angels Point Road in Elysian Park

“During the pandemic, I started riding my bike through Elysian Park . The views at sunset are the reward for climbing the hills. There is a quarter-mile stretch of Angels Point Road between the water tower and Angels Point lookout that is lined with palm trees. At sunset, it might be the best view of L.A., with Dodger Stadium and DTLA on one side and the rolling hills of Echo Park, Silver Lake, Griffith [Park] and Hollywood (plus the Hollywood sign) on the other. I rode my bike there almost every evening in the pandemic and it was a sanity saver.” — Adam Taylor, Playa del Rey

Stronghold Climbing Gym

“Stronghold was the first gym I went to when I started climbing two years ago. I became a member the same day. My first visit was so spooky since I’ve had a fear of heights in the past. Once I surpassed that, it was game on. It’s my happy place because I get to play, get strong, learn so many new techniques when it comes to climbing and, most important, be with the community there. It’s more than just a gym. It’s a happy place for many of us.” — Yanira Fuentes, Lincoln Heights

Gloria Molina Grand Park

“Grand Avenue overlooking Grand Park in downtown L.A. is the visual reminder of the various phases of my adult life: Behind me is the Music Center, which brings back many memories of my college years at USC in film school and dabbling in show business. In front of me is the majestic L.A. City Hall, which looks just like the badge I wore as a police officer at age 22 in my first official career. And lastly is the huge Mosk Courthouse, where I have been appearing as an attorney and temporary judge for 48 years now. I pause on my way to court each morning and reflect on the path I have followed, the people I have met and the family we have raised. Then, off to work!” — Robert Holmes, Glendale

“I grew up in the Valley and spent a lot of time going to the beach. There’s nothing like driving through Kanan and seeing the ocean. Zuma is a little slice of heaven. Sitting on the sand, feeling the warm sun on your skin and looking out at the ocean is the most peaceful feeling. And if you’re lucky, you can usually catch a few dolphins swimming by. Nothing else like it. I now take my kids there and it has become their happy place too.” — Behnaz VanRoosendaal, Woodland Hills

Angelino Heights

“When I moved back to Southern California after finishing graduate school in St. Louis, I was on a mission to find the best neighborhoods for good architecture. Angelino Heights popped up. I remember being absolutely floored by the homes, the wall of bougainvillea cascading down a duplex, multiple cats walking around and the cute little neighborhood market. I love driving around to look at all the beautiful homes. I also take a stroll down Carroll Avenue to admire the Victorian-era architecture. No visit is complete without stopping past the intersection of Douglas and Kellam, which is where I got engaged nearly six years ago (yes, I got engaged in my happy place!)” — Michelle L’Hommedieu, Koreatown

Don’t call it growing up , but Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker is giving fans a unique look at his pre-concert fitness regimen and wellness -focused mindset as his punk band continues its One More Time tour.

Also on hand was Barker’s wife, Kourtney Kardashian , who did not quite keep up with Barker’s athletic pace for the 5K but was accompanied by a couple friends to lend support. Cameras were around to capture the occasion for her family’s Hulu unscripted series, The Kardashians .

Run Travis Run will also take place at Citi Field in Queens on the morning of July 21, with Blink-182 performing at the venue later that evening. The Run Travis Run events support the Boys & Girls Club.

“After my accident in 2008 , more than 70 percent of my body was burnt,” Barker said in a statement. “I was told by doctors that I may never be able to walk or drum again, so I set out to prove everybody wrong, including myself. What started with short walks turned into short runs every day.”

He continued, “This past year I ran my first half marathon and participated in a few 5Ks. The running community is massive, and I loved how everyone from all walks of life ran together and supported one another. This is what Run Travis Run was built off of, and we’re only getting started.”

Later on Saturday, Barker joined fellow Blink-182 members Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge for their concert at SoFi Stadium, adjacent to the Forum. According to a representative for the group, the sold-out show welcomed 80,000 guests and marked the most-attended stadium performance to date for the band that is known for such rock hits as “All the Small Things,” “I Miss You” and “One More Time,” with the latter released as a single last year from the group’s album of the same name.

Fresh off their stadium tours in Chile and Argentina, the Mexican pop balladeers are set to commence their upcoming tour across Mexico, the United States, Central and South America.

Los Ángeles Azules are set to make their first television performance alongside Argentine star Emilia to sing their new collaboration “Perdonarte ¿Para Qué?” This year, the Mexican cumbia icons are nominated in three categories, including favorite group or duo of the year and best regional Mexican collaboration with Alejandro Fernández for “La Cumbia Triste.” Emilia also boasts three nominations, including best pop/urban album for .MP3 and girl power for “La_Original.mp3” alongside TINI.

Lunay will perform “No Te Quieren Conmigo” and will be joined by fellow Puerto Rican star Luar La L. Also from Puerto Rico, rapper Yovngchimi will deliver the Latin drill track “TU$$I,” which was released late last year, originally starring Dei V. The latter two artists will be making their first appearances at the awards show.

Travis Barker Fosters Community With Inaugural Run Travis Run 5K in Los Angeles

Shortly after the inaugural Run Travis Run 5K race began in the parking lot of Inglewood’s Kia Forum, my mission became evident: I couldn’t let Travis Barker lap me. I’d already conceded that he would beat me, that was a given. One look at his loping gait in the Forrest Gump-inspired launch video for his run club showed that he was in far better shape than me, a year removed from my 11th marathon and (literally) kneecapped by an injury that persists. Still, him pulling a whole lap ahead of me on the three-lap course was not an option, for no other reason than my ego.

Growing globalization of production spells trouble for hollywood, zach bryan brings in bruce springsteen for a feature on 'the great american bar scene,' a record steeped in the boss' quieter side: album review, popular on variety.

This past weekend’s event was the first of two planned 5K runs the morning of a Blink show, with a second scheduled for Queens, New York on July 21. On Saturday, Barker arrived 10 minutes past the race’s start time with his wife Kourtney Kardashian Barker, who walked the course alongside two companions as a cameraman in a golf cart rolled next to them, capturing footage for Hulu’s “The Kardashians.”

Musicians arranging run clubs is nothing new — Diplo launched his own a few months ago, promising DJ sets after races — but Barker leveraging his fame to inspire fitness among fans had a tangible effect at the Forum. Some were very clearly competitive runners (Irvine’s Tim Reed finished in first place, just under 16 minutes), while others were very clearly trying out running for the first time. A sea of Blink-182 tees dotted the crowd as runners and walkers looped around the lot. One man ran in Birkenstocks without socks; a woman completed the course dressed like the nurse from Blink-182’s “Enema of the State” album cover; two people ran completely decked out in furry costumes, and another guy had a lifesized inflatable alien clinging to his back.

For Barker, though, running is a lifestyle. It’s as engrained in his schedule as eating or sleeping, and keeps him accountable to staying sober. He battled a painkiller addiction for years, up until he survived a plane crash in 2008, and wellness swiftly became a priority for him. “Running came into my life to help me become sober years ago, and I found out I was having my son around the same time and I started running, I started boxing, started being more conscious of my health,” he explains. “And then I got addicted to it. And anytime I wanted to stop smoking, it always countered the smoking. It was always the thing I did to stop doing any of the bad things.”

That, plus there’s a level of aerobics necessary to maintain stamina for shows. At SoFi Stadium later that evening, Barker toggled between a stationary platform and a hovering podium while blasting his drum kit for a solid 90 minutes, taking a moment at the start of each song to tuck his drumsticks behind his head, elbows in the air, before assaulting his instrument.

“Even though I’ve [drummed] for however many years since I was four years old, if I want to be great while I’m out there and not have to think about anything, or if there’s anything that comes to my head that I want to do live, I can pull it off if I’m in shape,” he says. “So I always stay there so I don’t have to get there.”

With that, attendees at the first Run Travis Run event congregated in the finish area, refueling with bananas and taking a dip in the ice baths. Barker is envisioning his goals for the rest of the year — he ran a half-marathon on New Year’s Eve, and he wants to do a full one by year’s end — with the hope of creating a space for runners to share in his love of running, one race at a time.

“I figure I run three miles every day anyway so I might as well have everyone come out and run with me. And raise money for charity,” he says. “I wish I could do it every day. I wish every day of the tour I had another 5K.”
