Overall I thought SoFi was pretty cool. The location isn't as fun as the Coliseum, and yeah the food is mediocre. But 5B can still get you a pretty nice crib.Am I the only one who actually thinks SoFi is a little disappointing?
Went there a few weeks back and it was unbearably hot, the concessions were below average, it was virtually impossible to navigate around the stadium to different sections aside from the immediate area you were sitting in, and the stadium staff seemed largely clueless. Only thing that pleasantly surprised was the ease of getting in and out of the parking lots which was far easier than feared. Building itself is stunning, but did anyone else expect them to do a better job w the details of the GameDay experience or is it just me?
So, I'm a longtime Rams fan. My family had Anaheim season tickets all years there. I've been to the Coliseum and the Dome in St. Louis, and many other stadiums over the years following the Rams around.Am I the only one who actually thinks SoFi is a little disappointing?

My Dad and I took a tour of Sofi today. The Rams locker room wasn’t open for obvious reasons so we got to go in the rentoids locker room. Look at this.

Bring home the W!I guess I’ll find out about the game day experience tomorrow and let you know @VFerragamo
I never understood why concessions at games were bad.Am I the only one who actually thinks SoFi is a little disappointing?

Nothings perfect but find the place absolutely amazing.So, I'm a longtime Rams fan. My family had Anaheim season tickets all years there. I've been to the Coliseum and the Dome in St. Louis, and many other stadiums over the years following the Rams around.
I went to SOFI for the 1st time for the NFC Championship v. 49ers.
Here were the notes I wrote just after about things I did not like about SOFI:
No Artwork. Very "bland" stadium.
View level is very high up compared to other stadiums. Hard to see players.
WIFI terrible at gate entrance. Difficult to log onto ticket app.
Seats are not comfortable. Dark blue is not good looking or cheerful. Rams sky blue would have been better.
No restaurant/bar seating
Video Screen did not show red challenge flag replays.
Sound was terrible. Could not understand what was being said in after-game field celebration and interviews
No TVs in concession stand areas to see game action while waiting in line for food or drinks.
Nothings perfect but find the place absolutely amazing.
I kind of cracked up at the lack of artwork comment. The whole place is an art piece!
Well, skim through this video clip of Mercedes-Benz stadium. Tons of cool stuff to look at as you cruise around the stadium. I thought SOFI would have done the same.

I was only pointing out the things I didn't like with the stadium. Not that I don't like the stadium as a whole. Just making that clear.I was there for the SB. Don’t recall anything than a new stadium with a roof that opened and closed in a cool way.
To each their own. I am at the stadium right now and wonder how anyone could be underwhelmed.
Enjoy the game!
GO RAMS!!!
The building is a masterpiece but for $5B they should get the whole experience right. Would like to think that generic food and uninformed / disinterested staff will improve over time but the inability for fans to readily wander around the stadium and explore different sections etc is hugely disappointing. Can't imagine why they'd design it with that sort of lack of connectivity.Nothings perfect but find the place absolutely amazing.

It can get warm there at times. Most of the time it’s just fine. I don’t judge venues like that for the food. We go there for the game. Food is better in our section this year. Leaving the stadium is total kaos.
Things will get better as time goes on. Especially after they complete the entertainment district.
GO RAMS!!!
