The city of angels is known for its bustling streets, world-renowned arts, diverse culture, and the worst traffic on the planet. Every Los Angeles resident understands that it could take an hour to go 10 miles at times. On Friday night, that devastating bumper-to-bumper pace could slow to an absolute standstill.
With numerous venues hosting sporting events across Los Angeles tonight, the amount of cars on the road could be unlike anything locals have ever seen. To make matters even worse, there are also two concerts taking place at the Kia Forum and the Intuit Dome.
It’s expected to be so bad that the Los Angeles Lakers even tweeted a reminder to fans who plan on attending their game against the Phoenix Suns.
Here is a full list of the sporting events taking place in Los Angeles tonight.

What time are each of the sporting events?
Thankfully, many of the events tonight are staggered. The World Series starts at 5:08 p.m. local time. The Lakers’ game starts two hours later and the USC game an hour after that.
That said, the Dodgers’ game is expected to end around 8 p.m. PT, which could cause a lot of problems for people trying to get to LA Memorial Coliseum for the USC game.
Tomorrow won’t be much better either, as both the Lakers and Dodgers have home games on Saturday as well.
