Angelenos hoping to make it to the match between Paraguay and The United States Friday without hitting major traffic snares have a new tool handy to help guide them to SoFi Stadium without major delays.
TomTom – the digital mapping, navigation, and location-based services platform – launched a new website right before the World Cup to help drivers out on the roads.
In addition to SoFi Stadium, TomTom also shows traffic for other World Cup stadium across North America.
“Dive into live and historical data for play-by-play traffic patterns and insights as matches take place across 16 stadiums in Canada, the USA and Mexico, and see which cities best tackle congestion and which drivers into extra time,” the site proudly displays.
Congestion level, the distance driven in 15 minutes, and average car speed are all shown.
With eight World Cup matches being scheduled to be at SoFi Stadium, the tournament is projected to bring in an astonishing $594 million in economic impact to Los Angeles, according to Bookies.com.
Nearly 180,000 visitors are expected to come, with visitors projected to spend nearly $60 million from food to entertainment.
Despite the opening game for Team USA being at 6 p.m., congestion level at SoFi is already at 47% as of 10 a.m. (29% higher than what is normally is at).
Tickets on the primary market have been sold out, but fans searching for any last-minute deal can expect to pay around $1000 for nosebleed seats on secondary marketplaces like SeatGeek.
