Add The California Post on Google Fans attending the World Cup match between the US men’s national team and Turkey at SoFi Stadium will have to break the bank just to park.
Recent footage revealed parking near the stadium cost $200. Other reports state the Kia Forum, about a 5- to 12-minute walk from SoFi Stadium, is charging more than $400 for parking Thursday.
Another lot is reportedly charging more than $600.
America has fully embraced the soccer craze with the arrival of World Cup fans and the rising popularity of the USMNT. The squad has gotten off to a strong start in the tournament, scoring six goals in its first two games and winning back-to-back matches for the first time since 1930.
Even without star Christian Pulisic in their most recent game versus Australia, the Americans proved they could still be dominant.
But to attend one of the highly touted World Cup games isn’t cheap.
Fans have paid hundreds or thousands of dollars to witness their favorite nations in action and those in attendance for Thursday’s showdown will have to pay even more money simply to park their cars.
While there are no implications for the Americans in Thursday’s match, it will be pivotal for the team to keep its momentum going ahead of the Round of 32. It should also be a perfect time for the USMNT to give its bench players an opportunity to make an impact and win a World Cup game.
Kick-off between the USMNT and Turkey is at 7 p.m.
