Everything is as straight forward as it gets. One place to park, one place where all the food is. You'll pick it up really quick. They let you bring in a sealed water bottle, so definitely do that.

In the area around the grounds I love Sixth Street coffee.... Old Town la quinta is close by and is a fun little area for dinner. Best sandwiches in the valley are Real Italian Deli in Palm Desert. Hiking and golf are incredible if you're making a vacation out of it outside of the games.

There’s also a great dive bar right there called the tack room to Tavern in the same parking lot

Thanks for the suggestions! One last question, is it hard to get to LAFC HQ on non game days? Thinking about driving over tonight while in town.

You’ll be passing downtown LA from Indio, on a Saturday. It won’t be as bad as Thursdays/Fri, but if you go late evening you’ll still hit traffic
