Inglewood Olympic Zone

Inglewood is the star of the show. SoFi Stadium and the Forum are right here, which means the Opening Ceremony, Closing Ceremony, and some of the biggest events will happen in this zone. We've watched Inglewood transform over the past few years, and it's become one of the most exciting areas in LA. The energy here during the Olympics is going to be unreal.
