BACKGROUND:
The Los Angeles Stadium and Entertainment District at Hollywood Park (LASED) is transforming the site of the former Hollywood Park Racetrack into to a year-round sports and entertainment destination — created for the enjoyment of people throughout Southern California, as well as visitors to the region.
The centerpiece of the 298-acre sports and entertainment district, the LA Stadium, provides a seating capacity of 70,000 and expandable up to 100,000. It includes 260 luxury suites, more than 13,000 premium seats, and almost three million square feet of usable space. The project will also consist of a 6,000-seat performance venue located under the same roof canopy as the stadium.
LA stadium will be the home field for the Rams and Chargers starting in 2020. It will host year-round sports and entertainment events and has already secured Super Bowl LVI in February 2022, the College Football National Championship game in 2023 and the Opening & Closing Ceremonies of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games.
Adjacent to the stadium and performance venue, the project anticipates more than 1.5 million square feet of retail and office space, 1,500 residences, a hotel and more than 20 acres of parks. The long-term plans offer the possibility of developing additional phases over time.
