SoFi Stadium Bag Policy

Types of Bags Allowed
To ensure the security of all guests, SoFi Stadium follows a clear bag policy. Fans can bring clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags that do not exceed 12" x 6" x 12". Clear bags, including clear backpacks and fanny packs, must be completely transparent with no tint, hologram, printed patterns, or stickers. One-gallon clear plastic freezer bags are also permitted. Small clutch bags up to 4.5" x 6.5" are permitted, with or without a handle or strap. Medically necessary items may be subject to additional security screening.
Types of Bags Not Allowed
Non-compliant bags are not allowed inside the stadium. This includes purses larger than the permitted clutch size, coolers, briefcases, non-clear backpacks and fanny packs, cinch bags, luggage, computer bags, and camera bags. Diaper bags are generally prohibited, except for bags containing medically necessary items, which may require additional screening and a bag tag. Visitors with non-compliant bags must return them to their vehicle or, when available for the event, use the stadium’s bag valet service.
SoFi Stadium Lockers
SoFi Stadium does not provide traditional locker rentals, but bag valet service is available for select events for guests who arrive with non-compliant bags. The service is located outside the stadium perimeter and is available for a fee. SoFi cardholders may be eligible to check non-approved bags for free. Availability and locations can vary by event, so guests should check the event’s Know Before You Go information before relying on the service.
SoFi Stadium Transportation
Visitors have several ways to reach SoFi Stadium. Driving is an option, and there are parking lots nearby. Guests parking in official stadium lots must have a valid parking pass, and purchasing parking in advance is recommended. Arriving early is best to avoid traffic. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft use designated drop-off and pick-up areas, with drop-off on Kareem Court and pickup around Kareem Court and Manchester Boulevard.
Public transportation is another good choice. The LA Metro system connects to SoFi Stadium on game days. Visitors can take the Metro C or K Line to LAX/Metro Transit Center Station, where Metro operates a shuttle from Bus Bay 8 to SoFi Stadium on game days. Other event transportation options may include GTrans, Torrance Transit, Culver CityBus, and Inglewood Park & Go services.
SoFi Stadium Camera Policy
Guests can bring small cameras for personal use, but there are restrictions. Professional-grade cameras, cameras with detachable lenses, cameras with lenses longer than 6 inches, tripods, monopods, selfie sticks, GoPro cameras, and video-recording equipment are not allowed. Small personal-use, non-professional cameras are permitted.

Video cameras and video recording of events with other devices are prohibited. Some events may have additional restrictions, so visitors should check the event-specific information in advance.
SoFi Stadium Food Policy
Outside food and drinks are generally not allowed inside SoFi Stadium unless medically required. Guests can bring one factory-sealed water bottle of 20 ounces or less per person.
Guests may also bring an empty clear, non-metal or soft-sided reusable water bottle of 20 ounces or less. Glass and metal containers and hard or soft-sided coolers are prohibited.
The stadium offers a variety of food options, from local favorites to meals and snacks, ensuring visitors have plenty of choices inside.
Other SoFi Stadium Rules & Information
SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park are a completely non-smoking campus. Smoking, including e-cigarettes, vaporizers, and smokeless tobacco, is prohibited both inside and outside the stadium. There are no designated smoking areas on the campus.
Visitors must also comply with security screening upon entry. Bringing prohibited items such as weapons, fireworks, laser pointers, and drones can result in denied entry or removal from the premises.
SoFi Stadium generally has a no re-entry policy. Guests who leave after entering may not return using the same ticket unless re-entry is specifically authorized in an emergency by stadium staff.
Guest services are available at multiple points throughout the stadium for assistance. Accessibility accommodations, including wheelchair seating and assistive listening devices, are offered to help guests with accessibility needs.
Tips for Visitors

Checking the official SoFi Stadium website before attending an event is essential. The site provides up-to-date information on parking, prohibited items, security procedures, and event-specific policies. Visitors should review these details to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience.
A simple but effective tip is to bring a compliant clear bag or small clutch bag. Clear bags must not exceed 12" x 6" x 12", while non-clear clutch bags cannot exceed 4.5" x 6.5". Using an approved bag reduces the risk of being turned away at the entrance.
Large backpacks and other non-compliant bags should be left at home, returned to a vehicle, checked at the event’s bag valet when available, or stored off-site. Visitors needing another option can use alternative luggage storage in the area. Qeepl storage costs US$7.39 per item per day, and luggage is protected by insurance coverage of US$1,000. Planning ahead ensures a stress-free visit without unnecessary delays at the gates.
