Good afternoon,
I wanted to show you my experience on Saturday with our first official football game. I had every intention to stay indoors for the start of the game but my daughter got sick so I had to leave out.
I’m very confused on the logistics behind having the parking come down Pincay when that is our ONLY entrance into the Renaissance.
You can access the stadium from off Century, Prairie and Kareem via Manchester, but they had everyone come off of Crenshaw on to Pincay. Attendees parked along Manchester, creating gridlock, and there wasn’t a lane cordoned off to enter either my community, or Carlton Square.
Inglewood needs to figure this out FAST!
Disgruntled taxpayer
*Editor’s note*
Residents had strong complaints about the lack of parking enforcement in residential neighborhoods. Residents are expected to pay to park in front of their own homes, while NFL fans parked there with little to no consequences. One resident calls the traffic issue a “pivotal issue” for Mayor Butts’ 2022 re-election.

It was the same everywhere. People began walking to the stadium from century heading east once you pass la brea. I heard from a friend who lives on the street next to Starbucks on Inglewood/century that his neighbor confronted a group of Colonizers who parked on his street and called an Uber. The Uber driver cancelled the trip because he wanted nothing to do with the situation, and the group of people got in their cars and drove off. Manchester and prairie in all directions were no better. Arbor Vitae heading east from la cienega was also pretty full.
The unfortunate reality is that the only solution to this is street widening and additional parking lots. That means that people would lose their homes via imminent domain. I am SURE that this is what they want and are eventually planning to do, especially when Inglewood residents who aren’t impacted by this traffic are telling those of us who are to suck it up. It really makes me angry that they are continuing to build right next to the stadium instead of using that land for parking.
Really were you expecting anything different?
Not to worry,
Mayor Butts will: ignore your complaints
call you names ala naysayer, obstructionist,
say all your issues are only antidotal no basis in his reality
And THEN tell you that you lack loyalty to his Magnificent Master Plan
What was it his fan club always shouted if you don’t like move out or shut up?
Is this what you vote for?
IN THE LAST SIX YEARS, starting when the Forum reopened, James Butts has repeatedly lied and said that traffic from his clumsy development deals is not even a problem, no matter how much traffic there is, how badly that traffic is managed or how much inconvenience or injury nearby residents suffer.
Not surprisingly, when people come from outside the city for entertainment. when they are rushing in and out, they are not very concerned with the law and the safety of Inglewood’s residents.
