Los Angeles is famously known for its sun, surf and celebrities, but the city’s rich history in sports is the cherry on top. Since its opening in 2020, SoFi Stadium has continued to set the standard for the fan experience.

SoFi Stadium is the home venue for both the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers, with the Rams playing the most home games here each season. It also hosts the annual LA Bowl and, in 2026, several World Cup matches. Here is what you need to know before your visit.

Parking: There are several parking options. You can book parking in advance via ParkWhiz, an app that lets you purchase a parking pass for specific events. Buying a pass in advance helps you avoid higher rates on site. Parking can cost between \$50 and \$100. Tailgating (在停车场聚餐) is

permitted at the “pink” lots: H, I, J, P and Q.

Transportation: For fans hoping to avoid parking, the City of Inglewood Park and Ride program offers off-site parking with a shuttle that runs every 15 minutes to and from the stadium. GTrans, Torrance Transit and the Metro C Line are also convenient options.

Hotels: There are plenty of hotels nearby. For a prime location, check out Sonder Lum Hotel, right across the street from the stadium, or the USC Hotel, a couple of miles north. Other options include the LAX airport hotels, all within three miles of the stadium.

23. What do you need to do if you want to park at the stadium?

B

Not long ago, my son Kevin asked me about the meaning of a word in a novel he was reading. “Look it up,” I responded automatically. We were sitting next to a bookshelf holding at least three dictionaries. Kevin sighed dramatically. “Can’t you just use your phone?”

A terrifying thought occurred to me. “Do you even know how to use a dictionary?”

“Of course,” he scoffed. “Every chapter is a different letter.” I laughed out loud. I had never thought of the dictionary as something read from beginning to end.

We pored over a paperback dictionary together. It took Kevin a few tries to find the word, and he was overwhelmed that an entire page could be devoted to words sharing the same three beginning letters. “How can there be this many words?” he asked, with alternating horror and awe.

I was just a bit older than Kevin when I decided to learn as many words as I could, marking every entry I looked up with a small penciled dot. The dictionary was a gift for my 13th birthday. Although neither of my parents went to college, they made clear that my education was a family priority. I marked up my dictionary because I enjoyed the process. I did it for the experience, not the result.

The dictionary was stolen at the end of my freshman year of college. When Kevin asked to see it, a small pain gripped my chest. “The book is gone,” I said.

“That is so sad,” he said. “But you still know all those words, even without the book.”

I realized this was true. It was not the dictionary that got me there. It is not about the words themselves or how we learn them, but the wanting to know them--the curiosity (好奇心) and the

appetite.

New York City is planting tens of thousands of trees each year. They provide shade, lower surface temperatures, absorb airborne carbon, and offer wildlife habitat along with just plain beauty. What could go wrong?

Actually, something could, according to a new study. Oaks and sweetgums, which account for a majority of the city’s trees, produce huge amounts of volatile compounds called isoprenes (异戊二 烯). Harmless by themselves, isoprenes interact rapidly with nitrogen oxides emitted by vehicles to form ground-level ozone, a prime factor in many respiratory ailments such as asthma.

The research found that if the city maintains past species patterns, isoprene production in Manhattan will rise by about 140%, and summer ozone levels by as much as 30%.

“We’re all for planting more trees. They bring so many good things.” said study coauthor Roisin Commane. “But if we’re not careful, we could make air quality worse.”

But isoprene from trees alone is not to blame. Ozone cannot form without nitrogen oxides, emitted during the burning of fossil fuels by vehicles and industry. Many city dwellers remain oblivious to this connection, assuming trees can only ever clean the air. “If we lowered emissions significantly, trees would not be a problem,” said lead author Dandan Wei. “It is the cars.”

The Parks Department is aware of the issue. Like the study authors, scientist Novem Auyeung said trees should not be viewed as the enemy. “We could plant any trees we want, if we just rethink our car-centric lifestyle,” she said.

In fact, the department has already reduced the proportion of oaks it plants in favor of a more diverse mix, mainly to protect against pests. Oaks are keystone species, providing food and habitat for native insects and birds. Importantly, northern red oaks can function in high temperatures when other trees shut down. “There are still wonderful reasons to have them around,” said Commane.

Since the dawn of philosophy, thinkers from Plato to Kant have considered how beauty affects the human mind. Now, a new study from the University of Cambridge suggests that contemplating the beauty of artistic objects boosts our ability to think in abstract ways and see the bigger picture.

Researchers say engaging with beauty helps us escape the mental trappings of daily life and break our everyday patterns of thought, shifting us into a more expansive state of mind.

A team of Cambridge psychologists used the University’s modern art gallery as a living laboratory. For the study, 187 people visited an exhibition of handmade clay objects. “Ceramics (陶 瓷 ) were ideal,” said Professor Simone Schnall. “A glorious painting would be too striking. We needed art subtle in form, requiring focused contemplation.”

Participants were split into two groups. The beauty group was asked to give a rating of how beautiful each object was, while the control group simply matched a line drawing with the artwork. The rating task, though simple, made all the difference.

The beauty group scored almost 14% higher than the control group in abstract thinking, and reported greater interest in life’s bigger questions. They also felt more moved, enlightened and inspired.

Importantly, however, the beauty group felt no happier than the control group. The researchers asked about these feelings on purpose: by ruling out mood, they could pin down the true factor behind the improved thinking. It was the engagement with beauty itself, not the difficulty of the task or any passing good mood.

“People today are often tethered to their devices, thinking in very concrete terms,” added Schnall. “Admiring beauty may be the ideal way to trigger the abstract, critical thinking increasingly lost in a world of screens.” The findings, she suggests, point to a simple lesson: encouraging people to slow down and engage with beauty can sharpen the way they think.

Museums, once silent halls of the past, are now using artificial intelligence (AI) in surprising ways. Walk into many modern galleries today and an AI-powered guide can chat with you, answer your questions, and share fascinating stories about the works on display. 36

The ways in which AI assists visitors are truly surprising. 37 Virtual guides can respond in dozens of languages and adjust their tone to suit each listener, whether a young student or a lifelong art lover. They make every visit feel personal.

AI can also examine artworks in fine detail, far beyond what is possible with human eyes. 38 Moreover, it can predict how a fragile painting may age over the years, allowing experts to step in before any visible damage appears.

Beyond preservation, AI creates tailored experiences for individual visitors and their families. 39 For instance, a curious child and a trained art expert standing before the same painting might each receive a completely different guided tour.

Yet the growing use of AI also raises concerns. These systems depend on collecting vast amounts of personal information through their data-driven algorithms. 40 Strict rules are therefore needed to ensure that every visitor’s privacy is fully protected.

When I was two years old, my family moved from Cincinnati to a little town in northeast Ohio called Cortland. The 41 that people only really knew Ohio for the three C’s-Cleveland, Cincinnati, or Columbus (not Cortland!)-came quickly when I decided to go to school in central Pennsylvania.

When I was two years old, my family moved from Cincinnati to a little town in northeast Ohio called Cortland. The 41 that people only really knew Ohio for the three C’s-Cleveland, Cincinnati, or Columbus (not Cortland!)-came quickly when I decided to go to school in central Pennsylvania. The truth is, I never considered myself “Midwestern” until I left Ohio. You’d think that people would realize that we were neighboring states, but the people at my “East Coast” school thought of Ohio as a whole different world. Half of my peers didn’t even realize I lived a 42 three and a half hours away. “Do you have to fly home? Do you live on a farm? Is there even anything in Ohio worth seeing?” The 43 are never-ending. I was a unicorn in their eyes, a 44 Or, on second thought, maybe just a country hick. Don’t even get me started on the “pop” versus “soda” debate...

As I grow older, I’m more and more 45 for my small town roots. Sure, my friends and I loved to 46 about how bored we were in the middle of nowhere, 47 , as I finish up my junior year of college, I’m convinced that it took 48 our small town to realize how much we actually did love it and what exactly we loved about it.

We grew up amongst corn fields, spent summers by Mosquito Lake, and learned to ride our bike on the hill with the rest of the kids in the neighborhood. We played kick ball and Red Rover in the empty lot down the street, caught snapping turtles in the creek and snakes in the shared vegetable garden behind the fence, and spent many an afternoon exploring the woods behind our houses. We counted the days until the county fair, prayed for snow days (inside out pj’s and ice cubes in the toilet, anyone?), we’re forced into corn hole competitions by our dads, never viewed burnt out headlights as anything other than padiddles, and have all run a red light at some point at one of the five stoplights in town. I might be showing my affinity toward the midwest lifestyle, but all of these things have taught me important life lessons.

For one, the pace of life isn’t anxiety provoking and people really 49 connecting to each other. That means that you do more than just talk to your next door neighbors-in a lot of cases, they’re truly an 50 of your family. So much of this 51 revolves around being outside and knowing the ins and outs of the town, being present and mindful of your 52 is a critical part of the culture. The gift of being able to grow up slowly is another invaluable treasure that I was given by my small town. Sure, there will always be a little bit of “keeping up with the Jones’,” or rather the “advanced” girls, but I never felt pressure to rush through my childhood or to act older than I was-heck, I was still playing with American Girl dolls in middle school!

As I move through my college years, I 53 the visits to my little hometown.
