14 parties in L.A. for Super Bowl Week, from free to fancy
The Super Bowl is coming to Los Angeles, and with it a laundry list of parties, concerts and “experiences.”
Football’s biggest night will take place at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium, featuring the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals. (The Rams are technically the visiting team, as the official “host” rotates each year between the AFC and NFC.)
Tickets for the big game are going for an average of $9,249 — and that’s not including parking, which could set you back another several thousand dollars. If you’re looking for a (relatively) cheaper way to get in on the festivities, we’ve got your roundup of Super Bowl week events, sorted from free to big ticket.
Everything you need to know about the 2022 Super Bowl, including teams, start time, location, TV channel, streaming options and halftime show.
