Came to see Mexican Rock royalty Zoé and I really enjoyed this venue. It's literally connected to SoFi stadium and tucked in the corner. I really loved the American Airlines plaza where they had the merch and food trucks set up before the show, also lots of drink stands. The venue itself is layer out really nicely and while I was down in the front, I feel like the view was good from anywhere. The staff working the bar was super nice and so were the staff showing people to their seats. The show itself was amazing but that's what I've come to expect from Zoé!

Visited Youtube Theatre for the recent KASTEYE concert and had a blast! I really enjoy whenever I come to SoFi Stadium because it is such a nice, clean area. Youtube Theatre is no exception. The venue is a small part of SoFi stadium and seats only 6000, so it is on the smaller side! But it does feel very intimate. Navigating there was easy, and we had bought parking ahead of time on Park Whiz, $38.50 for the Hyundai Orange Zone (turn into Stadium Dr from Picador), which seemed to be pretty close to the entrance of Youtube Theatre, about a 5 minute walk from Lot H. Thankfully the area wasn't too busy on that Friday night because there weren't any other events happening at the time. Once parked, there was enough signage around for us to navigate where to go, the entrance is on the left side of the bottom point of SoFi Stadium. Once inside, there was a large space before entering the building of the venue. Out there were 2 merch booths and many food trucks! There was also a few places to get drinks as well for the 21+s. The lines for merch and food were LONG, and I didn't have time before the show to wait. The seats in the venue were had very comfortable cushions, and it actually didn't feel crammed at all! Not every seat is great though, I snagged tickets in section 307, so it's a bit in the nosebleeds off to the right. Due to the angle, the main screen was only 20% viewable from that angle unfortunately! But we could see most of the main stage, and it didn't feel too far. I only wish that the doors opened earlier, because there wasn't much time beforehand to get merch or food. Thankfully, I picked up food elsewhere beforehand so I ate in the parking lot before entering. And was able to get merch during a slow part of the concert. Overall, I always enjoy visiting SoFi Stadium, it is always nice and clean! Youtube Theatre is a nice venue that feels a bit more intimate :)

We were happy to be here, clearly. LOL!

Located at SoFi Stadium, it's like the little sibling attached for the smaller venue events. Please try to secure your parking ahead of time just to insure that that isn't an issue once you arrive at the venue. And there's no getting around it, parking is costly. Once you get there, you have to follow the signs to park at the right spot--and possibly you'll have to ask because we found it confusing. I found the entrance process pretty smooth, following the workers instructions and finding ourselves right in front of the venue where there were several food trucks and merch set up. Another tip, if you're on some kind of budget, just eat before because deng, the food prices (with the portion size) is (for us) expectedly high. Our seats were high up and far but I found it to be just fine--easy to find and comfortable. On the way to our seats, there are places to enjoy views of the venue including the beautiful grounds with a lake and a view of the massive-ness of SoFi. Restrooms are clean. We had an overall, positive experience here.

These are the really cool lights that stood out

I went to YouTube Theater next to SoFi Stadium to see the Mexican singer Alicia Villarreal, and I was genuinely surprised by how nice the whole experience was. Parking was a bit confusing, but I honestly blame StubHub for that. They offered a parking garage a mile and a half away for thirty-two dollars, which was ridiculous compared to parking literally in the second row for fifty. Normally I'm told to buy parking in advance, but in this case it was better not to because those thirty-two dollars were a waste. We arrived early since my grandparents came with me, and the show started at eight. That ended up being such a good decision because the staff was very kind and accommodating. Security check-in was smooth, and they even gave my grandma a ride in a wheelchair to the top of our section, which was thoughtful. The only downside is that once you get to your section, there are still steps to walk down, so it's not the easiest setup for people with mobility issues, but they tried their best to help. Our seats were in section G, and they were really good. If anyone goes, I'd say seat numbers ten and higher have a slightly better centered view. What I liked most is that even from farther seats, the view still felt close and personal because the venue is smaller, clean, and modern. I've been to the Kia Forum, and honestly, I preferred this place. It felt more intimate and well taken care of, and everything from the lighting to the seating made the concert feel special. The ambience was lively and fun. The air conditioning was a little strong at first, but with everyone dancing and singing along, it balanced out. The crowd was full of energy and mostly women, which made it feel like a big empowering girls' night out. The bar and concessions sold a good mix of snacks and drinks, including some that clearly catered to Latinos, which made the experience feel even more welcoming and connected to the music. Of course, expect ridiculous concert prices, but what they offer was good if you're willing to spend the money. The ushers were friendly, the restrooms were clean, and although the women's line was long as always, the men's line moved quickly. The sound system was amazing, and the whole place looked spotless and modern. I didn't take too many photos because I was too caught up in the performance, but even outside before going in, the lagoon area looked beautiful and made for a really nice entrance. Overall, I would absolutely go again. Now that I know how the parking works and where the best seats are, I'd plan even better next time. It was a wonderful experience, and YouTube Theater definitely impressed me.

This was my first time at this theatre. It was very nice. It was easy to access, and the seats were comfortable. There was a great view from any seat. The restrooms were clean because the hospitality staff constantly cleaned them. The food and drinks were good. Note: the place is not too big so it's not overwhelming. Parking in the pink lot is the closest parking lot to the theatre.

I like this venue! Here's why - YouTube Theater is located in Inglewood and is nestled on the back side of SoFi Stadium. I have been here to see Ledisi and Michelle Obama. I also attended a Canva event here which accessed the theater and the outdoor area. Corky Fact - YouTube Theater is a 6,000-seat performance venue. I consider YouTube Theater a small, intimate in-door venue. Given the size, you can sit anywhere and it not be a bad seat. Pros 1. Beautiful Theater. It's only a few years old so the venue is in great shape. 2. Seats are comfortable. 3. Acoustics is great! 4. Food offered is actually pretty good. Expensive but it isn't your normal concert/entertainment venue food. During both my events the selection of food sold was different. 5. Plenty of restrooms on respective floors. ** They allow food inside the venue. Due to smells, spills, and the trash left under seats - This is a hard no for me. Folks just nasty. ** Cons 1. Venue exit is a challenge -corridors/hallways are small and narrow and easily get crowded. Elevators are small, get full fast, and are limited. 2. Parking is expensive, but, everything is expensive nowadays. Things to know - The BLUE/HYUNDAI (Lot N) parking lot I find to be the closes to one of the entrance into YouTube, next to SoFi entry 9B & 9C. Pay for parking in advance. Arrive early. Expect long lines to get in. Download tickets on to your or add them into an app wallet for fast accessibility. Wi-Fi is spotty in the area when multiple venues are having concerts/events - good luck. If you haven't been, pull up. You are missing out on seeing an event in a great venue.

Really enjoy this theater. Great intimate venue with great sounds and great layout. Seats are very comfortable and new. The concession stands are throughout the building and also on the courtyard they do have food trucks. Services are here wonderful from parking attendee, to entrance security and others. Overall it's still new and a great place for a close up concert or others. The only thing that not great is the parking fee, $50-$80 (depending on the artist). It costs more than the ticket itself.

This theater is located right next to SOFI stadium and they both share a parking lot. Parking is at least $60 during the day of the event inside of the lot. Use park whiz. We saw simple plan. Sound was amazing and seats were comfortable. We sat all the way on the left side and view was okay. I like that there were restrooms everywhere. Alcoholic drinks were $17+. Wish they would post somewhere where they sold the merch. Merch is located on the patio floor and there were multiple entrances. Employees were nice.

Small, intimate theater. Perfect for evening concerts and shows. With the same entrance as the SoFi stadium (though I never noticed it before). - Parking: ~$40 on a weeknight - Food: All food trucks & I didn't notice any food inside for purchase. You cannot bring outside food. - Drinks: You can bring outside water bottle (20oz, sealed). Beer / cocktails were similarly priced as SoFi ($20+). - Bag policy: More relaxed than the stadium. 11 x 14 permitted and you don't have to have clear bags. It's new and shiny so you pay new and shiny prices (as expected). And because it's a small venue, it's not as hectic as bigger concerts venues, or even mid-size ones like the Hollywood bowl. Audio inside is good but the screens kind of suck.

Best place to see a band on the planet as of 12-13-2024

This is the best place to see a live performance on the planet. Tons of easily accessible parking. There's enough parking for Sofi stadium so lots of extra when you're just going to the YouTube theater. Great food trucks in the interior, the area between the stadium and theater. The actual theater itself is 1000% state of the art, from all of the separate entrances into the tunnels for the different sections to the acoustics to the video walls behind the performers, truly amazing! I just saw Metallica here for their charity concert and it was absolutely spectacular!!

Came for a Stephen Sanchez concert. So wasn't super packed. It's a decent size venue. Not tiny, but not huge like staples center. I don't go to many concerts, I'm not an expert. but overall was a positive experience and seating size and comfortable level was good. Nearby stadiums were not open this night, so in general the area wasn't packed.

Boy George

We watched the squeeze and BOY GEORGE . The concert was great. Took us back to the old times the 80's . We got the taco truck was ok. Little servings and so expensive. Service was long wait Theater was a nice venue. The only set back we sat on the floor 6 rows away from the stage . Most guests were standing so my view was blocked . Sofi Stadium was an awesome place to go just too far from our place

Food and drinks

First time at the YouTube Theater. Medium sized venue-around 6000 seats. Plenty of parking, food trucks, cocktails, beer and wine. The process for entry-easy, peasy. Lots of Security I would take off 1star for parking attendants and the parking exits not really necessarily being marked. The attendant questioned when trying to exit had know desire to look away from his phone. I left a bit before the end of the concert because a patron mentioned they couldn't be counted on for help. Sound could have been better, but I'm thinking that's up to the producer, mixer and rest of the sound crew. It's tough driving those LA freeways. Maybe, they will build further out and we will come

You will walk forever and if you handicapped they use those spaces for VIP parking and merch areas. The staff has no clue what they are doing or where to send you. They really don't care at all. Now, the place itself has a great sound system and all but the top section has good seating. The staff there knows little and will send you to the wrong area for seating. They have great outdoor food from vendors, the inside has horrid food. The seats are okay, but getting to them is a real pain. The stage area is great and they put on some great concerts. It is the best place to see a concert of all the other places around. If they could just get it together and hire people and train them that would be great.

I can't remember when I was here previous to our visit the other day. It was probably 20 years ago,…read moreso it's definitely gotten a remodel since then. SoFi is across the street, so the whole area can be crowded during events. It can be difficult to get there from OC or SD, because it's not far from LAX. You may need to go the backways to avoid traffic. Parking is now one of the highest in LA for events. Even prepaying, it was $50! SoFi is even worse ,and so is Dodger Stadium. At least the Greek is only $40 for normal parking. We were in the 100s, and the seats had very little room in between the rows. There was a premium section near us with better seats and more room, but you will pay even more for those seats. Sound was fine. It was weird that you had to go downstairs for the restrooms, luckily there is one set of restrooms with handicap access on the entrance level. We ate before we came, so we didn't have to buy food there. A personal pizza was $19, and a soda was $8.50. Yikes. We only come her for shows where the artist isn't playing anywhere else in SoCal. I would rather drive to Orange County, Riverside, Pomona, or Palm Desert to go to a show, over LA proper.

Crispy, tangy, and absolutely addictive. The burger and fries? Spot on comfort food. To top it off, it was comedy night. I went from cheering for the Dodgers to full-on belly laughs in the same night. Bonus points for having nonalcoholic options--I had a Heineken 0.0 dressed, and it was perfect.
