After breaking ground on the state-of-the-art stadium in
November 2016, the joint venture has overseen a team that
encompassed approximately 3,000 workers daily at peak, with more
than 17,000 people in total contributing to make the NFL’s largest
stadium a reality. This included excavating more than seven million
cubic yards of dirt to build the field level 100 feet below
grade.
“It has been a pleasure to partner with all of the contractors
on this landmark project,” said Richard Bach, Turner Senior Vice
President. “I am incredibly proud and sincerely thank all of the
workers and everyone who played a part in the stadium's
development. Their hard work has paid off.”
Bach continued, “The success of this project is due to the
visionary leadership of Stan Kroenke. His passion for design,
experience in construction and his praise and support for our
workforce is what got us here. I appreciate the trust placed in us
as we collaborated to realize his incredible vision. It was great
to see the Los Angeles Rams win their home opener after all of the
planning and work to make this stadium a reality.”
“We are thrilled that the world will be finally able to
experience this state-of-the-art stadium,” said Jay Badame,
president of AECOM’s Construction Management business. “We’re proud
to have been part of bringing SoFi Stadium to life and to setting
the new standard in stadium construction with our partners at
Turner, and the thousands of passionate, hardworking, and skilled
workers who built this newest icon for Los Angeles.”
A key element of SoFi Stadium is its integration of the latest
technology, ensuring a truly unique fan experience. The centerpiece
of the facility is a double-sided video board that sits 120 feet
above the field and contains panels as tall as forty feet. The
video board is the largest in the league, longer than the playing
field, and weighs approximately 2.2 million pounds.
A signature feature of the stadium is the opened-ended,
semi-translucent, one million-square-foot roof, which helps define
the facility as the only open-air, indoor-outdoor facility in the
NFL. The design of the roof enables the sun to shine inside the
stadium and breezes to be felt from the ocean five miles away. The
roof structure is the biggest of its kind and is comprised of
35,000 unique panels, contains 17 miles of cable, and weighs 500
million pounds.
The stadium is slated to host a variety of events including
Super Bowl LVI in 2022, the College Football Championship Game in
2023, and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Olympic Games
in 2028.
