About SoFi Stadium

SoFi Stadium is a sports and entertainment complex in Inglewood, California, occupying the former site of the Hollywood Park Racetrack. It is shared by the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers of the National Football League (NFL). Opened in 2020, it is the most expensive stadium ever built.

The stadium features a fixed, translucent ETFE roof designed to cover the stadium bowl and the adjacent plaza while allowing for outdoor air flow. The centerpiece is the "Infinity Screen" by Samsung, an ovular, double-sided 4K HDR video board suspended from the roof, weighing 2.2 million pounds. The stadium sits below ground level to adhere to flight path restrictions from nearby LAX.

SoFi hosted Super Bowl LVI in 2022, where the Rams won the title on their home turf. The venue is a masterpiece of engineering and design, anchoring a massive mixed-use development comprising retail, office, and residential space. It represents the future of integrated sports entertainment districts.

The venue is owned by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, the Denver-based holding company of billionaire Stan Kroenke, who acquired majority ownership of the Rams in 2010 and financed the entire 5.5-billion-dollar construction personally without any public subsidy from the City of Inglewood or Los Angeles County. Kroenke is married to Ann Walton Kroenke, an heir to the Walmart fortune, and their combined net worth exceeds 20 billion dollars. The Chargers organisation, controlled by the Spanos family since 1984 through their Dean Spanos-led holding, pays Kroenke annual rent of approximately 1 dollar under a partnership agreement finalised in January 2017, but contributes to shared operating costs proportional to home-game usage. The SoFi Technologies naming-rights deal signed in September 2019 for 400 million dollars across twenty years is currently the largest active naming contract in the NFL.

🛰️ Satellite Identification Tips

At zoom 16, SoFi Stadium is an enormous, futuristic structure in Inglewood, California, immediately recognisable by its swooping, translucent ETFE canopy that extends far beyond the stadium bowl — creating a massive covered area visible from satellite. The adjacent Hollywood Park development (shops, residences, and a lake) surrounds the venue. The nearby LAX airport runways are visible to the west (planes regularly fly over during games). The stadium's distinctive flowing roof shape, resembling a giant sail or wave, makes it one of the most architecturally distinctive sports venues on Earth.

Additional features refine identification. Hollywood Park Casino, a card room and horse-racing simulcast facility, occupies a compact triangular building at the northwest corner of the SoFi property. The former Great Western Forum arena, still operational for concerts and boxing events, appears as a distinctive circular pavilion two kilometres east of SoFi as an unmistakable retro landmark associated with the 1980s Lakers dynasty. The Kia Forum's teal-and-white exterior contrasts with the surrounding urban grid. The Intuit Dome, home of the LA Clippers, occupies a curved diamond-shaped roof structure 1 kilometre north of SoFi as a newer 2024-opened neighbour. The Los Angeles County Century Boulevard passes immediately south of the venue as a broad palm-lined arterial connecting to LAX. The Baldwin Hills Overlook rises 500 metres to the northeast as a distinctive elevated open-space with a wooden observation deck.

🌍 Did You Know?

SoFi Stadium cost an estimated $5.5 billion to build, making it the most expensive stadium ever constructed in human history — the final price tag exceeded the cost of some entire NFL franchises and would rank as a Fortune 500 company's annual revenue.
The stadium is technically below street level — the playing field sits 100 feet below ground, and the translucent ETFE roof canopy floats above without touching the bowl structure, creating an open-air feel despite appearing enclosed.
SoFi is the first NFL stadium shared by two teams in the same metro area from different conferences — the Rams (NFC) and Chargers (AFC) share the venue, though the Rams are considered the 'primary' tenant and the Chargers are essentially subletting.
The stadium hosted Super Bowl LVI in 2022 (Rams vs Bengals) and will serve as the main venue for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics opening and closing ceremonies — it is also equipped with a 70,000 square-foot Oculus video screen, the largest in any sports venue.
The venue's construction required excavation of 5.8 million cubic metres of soil, which was subsequently transported to nine separate disposal sites across Los Angeles County using a fleet of 850 trucks operating on a 24-hour rotation across 30 continuous months; the excavated material included ancient marine sediments containing occasional fossilised whale vertebrae dated to the late Miocene epoch
The stadium's paddock includes a special members-only lounge called The Perch on the ninth level, accessible only to holders of Personal Seat Licences priced between 100,000 and 500,000 dollars; the lounge features a bar staffed by two-time James Beard Award-winning bartender Julian Cox and a curated wine cellar of 3,200 bottles of California-only vintages
During the 2022 Super Bowl LVI post-game ceremony, the venue's public-address system played a specially arranged version of the Los Angeles anthem 'I Love LA' by Randy Newman performed on the field by a 40-piece brass ensemble from the University of Southern California marching band; the performance was subsequently released as a limited-edition vinyl record by Warner Music Group in support of local youth-music charities
