Thousands of Southern California football fans got to watch the Super Bowl in a high-profile setting on Sunday, Feb. 9 — SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. Right on the field, for that matter.
Guests got to roam the field in the iconic $5.3 billion arena, home of the NFL’s Rams and Chargers, at the Verizon Super Bowl Fan Fest and Watch Party.
Attendees also got to meet former pro players, snag some autographs, snap loads of selfies, bond with rowdy Rams mascot Rampage and generally whoop it up, pro football style, at the event. Among the stars on hand were Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk and former Rams quarterback Vince Ferragamo.
More than 3,000 first responders, many of whom worked the recent deadly Los Angeles County wildfires, were given free admission to the Hollywood Park event.
