Would you pay $4,850 for a Super Bowl parking spot? Resellers are pushing up prices

---------

Attendance will be at an all-time high when the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals clash at SoFi Stadium, which typically seats around 70,000 but can expand to as many as 100,000 for big events. But thanks to stages and event spaces occupying some of the lots surrounding the stadium, parking there will be extremely scarce.

That is forcing football fans to find alternative places to park. For a few hours Sunday, Inglewood businesses and residents with driveways and garages suddenly find themselves with some of the most valuable real estate in the city — and they’re looking to cash in.

More than 100 spots are up for grabs on the ticket exchange site StubHub, and they range wildly in price. A spot in the Civic Center parking garage costs $135, while the asking price for a spot in a small parking lot about a mile from the stadium is $4,850.

Hugo Vincent lives a mile from the stadium, and he’s already sold a spot in his driveway for $200. As part of the arrangement, he agreed to drive the person to SoFi on game day.

“This place is a prison on Sundays. I can’t leave my own neighborhood because the traffic is so bad,” he said. “Why shouldn’t I be able to make some money for the inconvenience?”

1. Fuck that shit, I wouldn't pay $20.00 to watch it on TV.

[Sneederbunk]

2. Or, you could get a taxi.

[Demovictory9]

4. traffic into that area is brutal on game day...taxi will be costly too

[oasis]

3. $4,850? What kind of a dummy wouldn't hire an Uber driver?

Negotiate a price for the entire day.

[DBoon]

5. I believe Uber prices vary depending on demand

I suspect Superbowl prices for Uber would be very high

[oasis]

6. "Very high" prices sure. They would be much lower than 4K. nt

7. It is just a matter of time until a terror attack on the SB game.

I have already decided that I will not never be within 500 miles of 70,000 people trampling people to save themselves.

I plan to watch the SB on TV, if it is free -- it should be free considering the amount of commercials that will be presented. More commercials than football play time. I'm not paying for that deal.

8. Why the home team advantage for Rams?

I thought Super Bowl games were supposed to play out in a neutral city not affiliated with either team.

[Dorian Gray]

9. BC

the locations was chosen before the team secured its spot.

[Takket]

10. Doesn't matter is I will. Only matters if one person out there will.
