L.A.’s newest stadium is simply unlike any other in L.A., or really anywhere else for that matter. For starters, it’s massive—and as the home of the Rams and Chargers, the largest by footprint in the NFL—and flanked by a lake and a public park. It also somehow successfully translates L.A.’s ubiquitous indoor-outdoor vibes into a 70,000-person stadium (with a capacity that can expand as high as 100,000). A translucent plastic skin over the entire spaceport-like structure allows for plenty of diffused natural light, while its open ends let a current of cool air float across the field.
That setup is a little less successful for concerts, though; the acoustics are remarkably muddy, and they only get more indecipherable the higher up you go. It’s the only thing keeping this one-of-a-kind venue from spectacle-hosting perfection—well, that and the miserable traffic in the area, which should hopefully see some relief with the arrival of dedicated bus lanes by 2028.
On the food side, you’ll find concepts first hatched by local faves Jon & Vinny. If you don’t feel like shelling out for concert tickets or a game (the FIFA World Cup in 2026, Super Bowl LXI in 2027 and Olympics and Paralympics in 2028), the stadium itself is worth a visit (you can book a tour for $57). You’ll also find the YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park, a 6,000-seat theater on the southeast corner of the stadium.
