YouTube Theater is a 6,000 seat music and theater venue inInglewood, California, United States, located under the same structure that housesSoFi Stadium, the home of theNational Football League'sLos Angeles Rams andLos Angeles Chargers. It is part of theHollywood Park entertainment complex, a master planned neighborhood in development on the site of the formerHollywood Park Racetrack.
Plans for a 6,000-seat performance venue go back as far as 2015, whenStan Kroenke, owner of the then-namedSt. Louis Rams, announced his plan to build an NFL stadium and entertainment complex on the former Hollywood Park Racetrack.[1] Construction on the stadium and theater broke ground the following year in November 2016.[2]
On June 28, 2021, it was announced thatGoogle's video-sharing platformYouTube had acquired the naming rights to the theater for 10 years.[3][4]
The venue opened on August 9, 2021, with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony. Mexican rock bandCaifanes held the first event at the theater on September 4, 2021.[5][6] The venue hosted its firstesports event in late March 2022, with theRocket League Championship Series (RLCS) Winter Major, marking RLCS's first live event in two years.[7]
YouTube Theater was designed by Dallas-based architectural firmHKS, Inc.[8] The 227,000 square foot, three-story venue can seat anywhere between 3,400 and 6,000 spectators. The venue also features six luxury boxes and a 3,500 square foot club with 140 premium seats. The theater is designed to be an intimate venue, with the furthest seat being situated 164 feet from the stage.[9] The venue features a sound system designed byL-Acoustics.[10]
The 70,000-seat stadium and adjacent 6,000-seat performance venue will be covered by a sail-shaped roof that's twice as big as the structure. The roof over the playing field will be made of a transparent material that's as clear as a car windshield.
The performances were the first to use L-Acoustics's L-ISA Hyperreal Sound, a new immersive technology that takes live music to its most elevated sonic experience yet.
