SoFi Stadium

SoFi Stadium

Los Angeles, USA Capacity: 70,240

Opened in 2020 at a reported cost of $5.5 billion, the most expensive stadium ever built. The signature feature is a translucent ETFE canopy that floats above the bowl, keeping the venue technically open-air while shading every seat from the LA sun. Home of the Rams and Chargers, neighbour to The Forum and the new Intuit Dome. The Metro C Line drops you a mile out at Inglewood station; on match day the walk down Prairie Avenue is part of the experience. Worth arriving early to see the Oculus screen overhead before kickoff.
