Dignity Health Sports Park is a multi-usesports complex located on the campus ofCalifornia State University, Dominguez Hills, inCarson, California. The complex consists of the 27,000-seat Dignity Health Sports Park soccer stadium, the Dignity Health Sports Park tennis stadium, a track-and-field facility, and theVELO Sports Centervelodrome.[8] It is approximately 14 miles (23 km) south ofdowntown Los Angeles, and its primary tenant is theLA Galaxy ofMajor League Soccer (MLS). The main stadium was also home to theLos Angeles Wildcats of theXFL in 2020. TheLA Galaxy II ofMLS Next Pro play their home matches at the complex's track and field facility. For the 2017 to 2019 seasons, the stadium served as the temporary home of theLos Angeles Chargers NFL team. For 2020 and 2021, the stadium served as the temporary home of theSan Diego State Aztecs football team.
Opened in 2003, the $150 million complex was developed and is operated by theAnschutz Entertainment Group. With a seating capacity of 27,000, it is the second largestsoccer-specific stadium in the United States, afterGeodis Park inNashville, Tennessee, and the third-largest among its kind in MLS, after Geodis Park andBMO Field inToronto. During its first decade, the stadium was known asHome Depot Center through anaming rights deal with hardware retailerthe Home Depot. In 2013, the name was changed toStubHub Center after naming rights were sold to online ticket marketplaceStubHub. The current name, from healthcare providerDignity Health, debuted in 2019.
In addition to hosting LA Galaxy games since its opening, the stadium also served as the home of the now-defunctChivas USA MLS team from 2005 to 2014. The stadium was the temporary home of theLos Angeles Chargers of theNational Football League (NFL) from2017 to2019, being the smallest NFL stadium over the course of those three seasons. When the Chargers played at the stadium, the facility was known as ROKiT Field at StubHub Center as part of a "multi-year" agreement with ROKiT.[9]
Originally opened as Home Depot Center in 2003, it was renamed StubHub Center on June 1, 2013.[10][11] It became Dignity Health Sports Park on January 1, 2019, after California-basedDignity Health signed a new naming rights agreement.[12][13][14]
The 27,000-seat main stadium was the second American sports arenadesigned specifically for soccer in theMLS era. When the venue opened in June 2003 as the new home of LA Galaxy, a number of special events took place in celebration.Pelé was in attendance at the opening match along with many dignitaries from the soccer world and other celebrities.
In addition to the soccer stadium, Dignity Health Sports Park features the 2,450-seatVELO Sports Center (velodrome), an 8,000-seat tennis stadium, and an outdoor track and field facility that has 2,000 permanent seats and is expandable to 20,000.[15]Soccer stadium building costs within the $150 million complex were around $87 million.[16]
The Los Angeles Chargers funded a $10 million renovation to the stadium in 2017 to prepare for their temporary tenancy.[17] The capacity was increased by 1,000 seats by adding bleachers to the northern grass berm and in two corner sections. A concession area withfood trucks andportable restrooms was added to the north side, while stands in the adjacent tennis stadium were opened for use. The luxury suites and press box were also renovated to add capacity.[18]
Two new radio booths were built outside the south side of the press box, and a large new booth on the north side to serve as a security command post for police and NFL officials was constructed. Two booths were added on each side of the press box for the NFL-mandated 20-yard-line television cameras, and a stairway allowing access to the roof of the main box was built to accommodate the 50-yard-line camera. To accommodate 53-man NFL rosters, four small locker rooms were converted to two larger ones with 60 cubicles in each. Also added were small postgame news conference rooms for each team and rooms for game officials and the chain gang.[18] After the Chargers left for Inglewood, the football facilities were taken over by the Wildcats when the XFL team began operations in 2020.
