LA traffic is the real opponent. Leave for the stadium 90 minutes before you think you need to, or take the Metro C Line and laugh at everyone stuck on the 405. The marine layer means it's 65°F at 8am and 84°F by noon — bring a layer you can peel off. Book accommodation in Inglewood or Manhattan Beach if you want walkable options; Santa Monica is gorgeous but adds 40 minutes each way.
