Group D

West Coast Loop

Group D hops repeatedly between California and the Pacific Northwest, forcing fans to revisit Los Angeles and the Bay Area. Seattle and Vancouver shine with effortless transit, while SoFi and Levi's remain car-first venues. Pack layers for chilly northern nights before basking in LA sunshine again.
