Location: Inglewood, CA

Client: Wilson Meany

Budget: $5.5 Billion

Completion Date: Fall 2020

As a result of working with Wilson Meany on the master planning of Hollywood park, our firm was approached by the Dallas office of HKS, the stadium Architects to assist in Construction Administration effort of the New Los Angeles Stadium.

The SoFi Stadium campus is a world-class entertainment destination that is at once both a tourist attraction and revenue driver. It is a site that will cater to sports and non-sports fans alike, with the ability to host events ranging from soccer matches to concerts to high-profile award shows.

Also in association with HKS, QDG has been providing design services from SD through CD’s and Construction Administration services for the 6,000 seat premier concert venue. This project has huge scheduling implications in which the entre team has been challenged. Many design components were required to be defined very early in the design process due to the common roof structure that covered both the stadium and the performance venue.

The crown jewel of the site, though, remains the 70,000-seat SoFi Stadium. Designed and built to provide the ultimate fan experience, those inside SoFi will experience an array of 21st Century sights and sounds including the world’s largest videoboard, a circular dual-sided operation that weighs 2.2 million pounds, features 80 million LED pixels and at 120 yards in length, is longer and wider than the field below it. In addition, the stadium’s sound system will use 260 speakers that are the equivalent of 1,500 home entertainment systems. And even in the unlikely event of rain, patrons and athletes will be protected by a roof made of ETFE held down at four corners to create the world’s first true indoor/outdoor stadium.
