SoFi Stadium is the orst indoor-outdoor stadium
ever constructed and the NFL9s largest at 3.1 million sf. The open-air venue is the centerpiece of
a new 298-acre mixed-use development that also
includes two other state-of-the-art venues4American Airlines Plaza and YouTube Theater. All three
are situated under an independently supported
translucent canopy constructed of ETFE panels
with embedded LED lights for displaying images
and videos visible from planes flying into LAX.
Inspired by the Pacioc Ocean and its coastline, the
architecture and landscape were designed to create
the feel of an outdoor venue while providing the
flexibility of a traditional domed stadium. The
stadium and Hollywood Park beyond are a yearround community destination providing muchneeded open space for Inglewood as well as a boost
in tourism revenue by attracting world-class events.
