The lots around Banc of California Stadium are unavailable Saturday because of a USC football game at the Coliseum later that night, creating traffic and accessibility hurdles for the biggest match…
Imagine: In a city that is not only dependent on the automobile but might be the modern capital of car culture, a major event is going to take place this Saturday and not one single parking place on site will be available.To be totally accurate, nobody in particular. But a confluence of events has resulted in this scenario: LAFC will play Philadelphia for the MLS Cup championship before a sellout crowd of more than 22,500 at 1 p.m.
The MLS Cup schedule was locked in months ago for this Saturday, 1 p.m. Pacific , and as you might expect, it’s immovable for TV purposes. Part of the issue, in this case, is that it’s a month earlier than normal because of a November-December World Cup in Qatar. With an early December title game, as there has been in seven of the past eight seasons, there would be no USC conflict.
That didn’t matter, for parking purposes. USC, by virtue of its contract with the Coliseum Commission , has first dibs on the lots and garages and tailgating areas throughout Exposition Park on any football game day. With the California Science Center, the Expo Center, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, and the California African American Museum – and the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art under construction – Exposition Park is a draw in several different ways. They, too, deal with the pecking order.
The instructions disseminated by LAFC earlier this week seem designed for those who don’t often use Metro, which probably means much of L.A.
