SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California may be known as the home of the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers but the players on the field at Stan Kronke’s palace at Hollywood Park Friday night will be coming from homeroom instead of Hollywood.
Downey High School and Warren High School will play to a sellout crowd, according to the game’s organizers LA Bowl.
The two schools are cross town rivals in the Los Angeles suburb of Downey and according to KABC have had large crowds for games before.

Long Beach Press-Telegram reporter Anthony Ciardelli posts that the game had upwards of 18,000 fans in attendance. SoFi holds over 70,000 fans.
Big crowds but high school football is bigger in Texas
While the bright lights of Hollywood will focus on prep football, the home state of the game has seen throngs turn out for prep football.
According to Lone Star Gridiron, the duel in SoFi has to pack them in to compete with the biggest crowds in Texas.
The record was set in 2013 when 54,347 fans turned up to AT&T Stadium in Dallas to see future Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray lead the Allen Eagles to a 63-28 victory over the Perland Oilers.
Three championship games drew over 30,000 attendees last year according to the Dallas Morning News, though the schools participating aimed to break the 60,000 threshold.
