Super Bowl LVI to draw 'way north' of 100,000 people to Los Angeles, organizer says

Ready for a whole lot of visitors to LA during Super Bowl LVI festivities? The president of the Super Bowl Host Committee Kathy Schloessman is expecting "way north of 100,000 people."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The Super Bowl is coming to SoFi Stadium this weekend, and traffic throughout Los Angeles County has already increased ahead of the game. 

The city of Inglewood on Monday announced planned road closures for the event. Many of the roads surrounding SoFi will either be closed to all but resident and local traffic, or will have one or multiple lanes closed for most of Sunday.

Mayor James Butts said the city worked with the NFL and SoFi officials to limit the biggest pro football game of the year's impact on neighborhoods near the stadium.

"This is the first time the Super Bowl has ever been held in the city of Inglewood, and we are thrilled for the opportunity to feature our beloved City on a global stage," he said in a statement. "We have been laser focused on making sure this event is a positive experience for residents and stakeholders alike. Hosting a premier event like the Super Bowl is an honor, and one that we are well prepared for. You can be sure that the spirit of Inglewood will be center stage."

Estimates from event organizers expect Super Bowl LVI to bring "way north" of 100,000 people to Los Angeles.
