Honestly, find a hotel along the Metro line and just ride in. I used Metro for the first time for the USC game because my new place is right next to a station, and it’s super convenient. Similarly, when LSU came out here, my friend PodKATT from ATVS used Metro for everything and found it worked great.

In OC, Amtrak (and Metrolink - which is the "local") stops at Anaheim ARTIC - which has lots of free parking and is almost never full (unlike Santa Ana and Fullerton stations which can have parking issues). From ARTIC to Union Station on Amtrak is ca. 33 minutes (Santa Ana station is a bit farther/Fullerton station a bit closer) while on Metrolink, its more like 50 mins (more intermediate stops)

Metro is great. If you drive you need to leave about 4 hours early.
Thanks to everyone for all the advice.
Looking at flight prices I probably will fly into OC and stay there and then catch a taxi to the Amtrak into Union Station and Metro to the game.

Sounds like a good plan. Just allow plenty of time and buy your Amtrak tickets in advance.
Hey, don't miss the Rose Parade. It really is spectacular!
I'll make sure to arrive early for the parade.
