I was somewhat overserved late last night and told the Princess to book us at Pelican Hill

Oh well. What the hell

 

[4 Oaks Frog]

Purchased five tickets at the conclusion of yesterday’s Frog Victory (prices tripled since then)
Staying at my daughter (Hollywood Frog) and significant other’s new home in the Burbank Hills. My son is going out on Friday to play a show. Mrs. 4Oaks and I fly out to join them on Saturday. Hoping for Pep Rally and other event participation.
GO FROGS!!!

Hollywood is a bit far from the location and LAX. You might want to consider the west side areas. Much less traffic and nicer.

Thanks. Flying into John Wayne but probably changing hotels.

Speaking of Uber or public transit. We are staying at hotel in airport. What kind of deal to expect on Uber to/from stadium? I figure going would be much easier (not easy) than coming back. Is there some area of the stadium that handles Uber after the game?

Is there some sort of mass transit from airport to stadium?

I don’t think I know of any mass transit options from the airport directly to SoFi. The hotel concierge might know about that

 

[LisaLT]

Just a suggestion. If several are staying in one particular area like marina del Rey, shared Uber rides make sense. It’s easy to meet up at one hotel and go from there. It could be especially smart in the way home as there will be a wait for Uber Lyft rides.

 

[Virginia Frog]

Me too

Slumber party at Lisa's?

(Nevermind: you don't want any of us old smelly ex-jocks to wreck your beautiful abode.)

Don't laugh. Motel 6 LAX. Free airport shuttle, walking distance to Casino and SoFi < 2.5 miles. $300 for 2 nights.

You going to walk 2.5 miles in LA?

 

[NewFrogFan]

I might suggest looking at the Jamaica Bay Inn or the two Marriott hotels in Marina del Rey. It’s only a 15 to 20 minute Uber ride to SoFi and 15 minutes to LAX. And a beautiful beach marina location with easy walking access to food and activities. There’s also a Ritz Carlton which is really nice. Usually the broadcast crew stays there and the bar scene will be very happening over the weekend

I hope the people working at SOFI that handle parking possess skills those in Glendale did not!

 

[Frogs01]

Was staying in Venice Beach but now had 3 people telling me it could be sketchy so cancelled it and staying in Redondo Beach.

Not if I can pay (tip) the airport shuttle driver to drive me.

 

[Strat Frog]

Sofitel (Beverly Hills). It’s one of the alum hotels.

Same here.

There is no mass transit. Hotel shuttles are free but you can wait up to 20-30 minutes for your shuttle. If you chose to uber/lyft from the airport, there is a service charge of approx $10.00. This service charge doesn't apply off the airport property. It will cost you approx $20.00 to get your airport hotel. If your hotel has a shuttle van, use the upper level. You should see a red sign indicating where to wait for your hotels shuttle. The shuttles don't really run on a schedule and just circulate the "horse shoe", starting at Terminal 1 and going to Terminal 7. When you see your hotel shuttle, make sure you flag them down as some drivers just coast by without stopping. Uber/Lyft is going to be the best way to get around from from your hotel. Overall LAX is pretty easy to navigate. When leaving always allow a little extra time as traffic can be absolutely terrible. When I us the shuttle from the Airport Marriott, it can take me 30-40 to get to Terminal 7 during periods of high traffic.

what a coincidence, I’m staying at your place too.

Booked at Sonesta near LAX several days ago to eliminate the need for a rental car, but I'm going to look at some more options now that the wife confirmed that she's coming along.

sounds like you had other sleeping arrangements (not going to judge) before the ol’ ball and chain hopped on the trip.

Lol. I’ve got two dogs so smells I’m used to.

The Sonesta is swanky by my standards. My wife is infinitely more high maintenance than I. So I have been directed to explore other options. Haha
