About Hollywood Park
Hollywood Park is a premier, nearly 300-acre global sports and entertainment destination in Inglewood, California. Owned, operated, and being developed by Los Angeles Rams Owner/Chairman E. Stanley Kroenke, it stands as the largest urban mixed-use development currently under construction in the Western United States. The vibrant "city within a city" features sophisticated residences, a dynamic outdoor retail and lifestyle district, creative office spaces, public parks, and a scenic lake. Anchored by the world-class SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater, with Hollywood Park Studios and a luxury boutique hotel forthcoming, the district creates the ultimate Live, Work, Play environment.
Home to the Los Angeles Chargers and Super Bowl LVI Champion Los Angeles Rams, the 3.1 million-square-foot SoFi Stadium is the NFL’s largest venue, and the first indoor-outdoor stadium. It seats approximately 70,000, expandable to 100,000, with more than 260 luxury suites and over 13,000 premium seats. A proven global leader that consistently ranks among the world’s top venues in ticket sales, the stadium has already hosted iconic events like eight FIFA World Cup 2026 matches, Super Bowl LVI, the 2023 College Football National Championship, WrestleMania 39, the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final, and numerous record-breaking concerts. SoFi Stadium is set to host the Super Bowl LXI in 2027, the Olympic and Paralympic Opening Ceremonies for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games (LA28), along with being converted into the largest Olympic swimming venue in history.
Adjacent to the stadium and under the same sweeping translucent roof canopy sits the 2.5-acre open-air American Airlines Plaza and the 6,000-seat YouTube Theater. As an intimate, state-of-the-art venue, YouTube Theater hosts a diverse line-up of chart-topping superstars, iconic comedy acts, awards shows, esports competitions, community gatherings, and corporate conferences. Named the “Top West Coast Club or Theater” by Billboard, YouTube Theater is a must-play destination.
