Hi Kendra — exciting choice to make! I’ll keep this practical so you can pick what fits your life.
Quick summary of your options
- Stanford Stadium (May 16–19): earliest option. About a 5–6 hour drive from LA depending on traffic (so ~10–12 hours roundtrip). Good if you don’t want to wait and can take time off.
- Las Vegas (May 23): also early, similar travel time (4–5 hours each way from LA). Might be easier as a one-night trip.
- SoFi Stadium (Inglewood) (Sept 1–6): local, no long drive, more convenient — but a long wait.
Factors to consider (use these to decide)
- Time/energy: Can you do a long drive and be up for a big show the same day? Would you rather be rested? If you’re not into long drives, SoFi is easiest.
- Time off and schedule: Do you need to take work/school days off? Stanford and Vegas are in May; SoFi is in September.
- Cost: Driving 5 hours roundtrip = gas, plus parking and maybe hotel. Flights to SFO/SJC can sometimes be inexpensive and save time. Las Vegas could mean cheaper hotels and quick overnight stays. SoFi is lowest travel cost.
- Tickets & availability: Earlier shows can sell out/resale prices vary. Check official presale/Ticketmaster and resale fees.
- Companions: Are you going with friends? Teaming up makes long drives easier and can split costs.
- Safety & comfort: Long drives at night can be tiring; consider staying overnight near the venue.
Pros/cons — short version
- Stanford (May): Pro — you get to see them now; energy/excitement of an early show. Con — long drive, higher fatigue and travel cost unless you fly or stay overnight.
- Las Vegas (May 23): Pro — doable weekend/quick trip, fun city vibe. Con — still travel/time off required.
- SoFi (Sept): Pro — closest/easiest, no long drive, more time to plan and cheaper travel. Con — long wait if you really want to go ASAP.
My recommendation
- If you really can’t wait and you can take at least one night off or split the drive, go to Stanford (or Vegas) in May. Make it less stressful by staying overnight near the stadium or flying up if affordable.
- If the drive/energy/cost is likely to be a problem and you prefer convenience, wait for SoFi in September.
If you want, I can:
- Check approximate travel times/costs from your exact neighborhood in LA;
- Compare drive vs cheap flights to the Bay Area or Vegas for the Stanford/Las Vegas dates;
- Help you plan a low-stress itinerary (leave times, where to stay, what to pack);
- Or look up current ticket availability/pricing (you can tell me whether you already have tickets).
Which would you like me to help with next?
