The college football championship game will be held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, a community that continues to grow into a sports and entertainment hub.
The College Football Playoff Championship is coming to Los Angeles as Georgia faces TCU Monday at SoFi Stadium, but along with the game comes a week of events to get fans ready.
"It's really about what do these major events bring to the city. They bring these free events that the community can participate in, number one," said Kathryn Schloessman, president and CEO of the Los Angeles Sports and Entertainment Commission. "They bring opportunities, jobs, business opportunities to our local diverse businesses, number two, and I think the biggest thing that we're most proud of is the legacy that they leave behind.
"Everyone's happy," said Karolyn Plummer, owner of Sweet Red Peach, a bakery that sits across the street from the stadium. "It's a little skepticism, but when you see the revenue coming into the city and just getting Inglewood back on the map, it's a great thing." Inglewood teachers and students are also benefiting. Through the College Football Playoff Foundation and the L.A. Host Committee, Morningside High School students are getting a new e-sports lab.
