Thousands of Southern California football fans got to watch the Super Bowl in a high-profile setting on Sunday at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. And they were on the field.

Guests got to roam the field in the $5.3 billion arena, home of the Rams and Chargers, at the Verizon Super Bowl Fan Fest and Watch Party.

Attendees also got to meet former pro players, snag some autographs, snap loads of selfies, bond with rowdy Rams mascot Rampage and generally whoop it up, pro football style, at the event. Among the stars on hand were Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk and former Rams quarterback Vince Ferragamo.

More than 3,000 first responders, many of whom worked the recent deadly Los Angeles County wildfires, were given free admission to the Hollywood Park event.
