SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California is a state-of-the-art facility that boasts some of the most cutting-edge technology in the sports world. The stadium, which was completed in 2020, is the home of the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers and is one of the most expensive facilities ever built. The stadium has a seating capacity of 70,240, making it the largest stadium in the NFL, and the first ever to have two retractable roofs.
The stadium features a unique 360-degree video board that is the largest in the NFL, as well as over 2,500 HD TVs located throughout the stadium. Additionally, the stadium is equipped with a variety of luxury amenities, including 250 suites, 9,000 club seats, and 50,000 square feet of retail space. SoFi Stadium also features a 6,000-seat outdoor amphitheater for live music, as well as a performance venue for e-sports tournaments.
Built on a 298-acre site, the massive sports and entertainment complex required 13,500 cubic yards of precast concrete, 2,375 tub and riser pieces, 368 vomitory walls, and up to 400 ADA, camera platforms (floor slabs) to construct. The lightweight concrete products used for the YouTube Theater also added to the complexity of the project. The installation process was made seamless thanks to the strength and flexibility of precast concrete. Up to four installation teams worked simultaneously to bring the vision to life, and the project was completed in record time. By choosing precast concrete, the team was able to save time and money, while creating an awe-inspiring structure.
This 298-acre site accommodates 13,500 cubic yards of concrete, 2,375 tub and riser pieces, 368 vomitory walls and other wall-type pieces, as well as 400 ADA, camera platforms (floor slabs). Seating over 70,000 people, the stadium is equipped with lightweight precast concrete products for easy installation. Furthermore, the site includes a YouTube Theater with additional precast stadia pieces.
Precast Benefits
SoFi Stadium, located in Inglewood, CA, stands as an unparalleled exemplar of the formidable strength and resilience inherent in precast concrete construction. Engineered to accommodate over 70,000 spectators, this architectural marvel required an astonishing 13,500 cubic yards of concrete. This material was intricately transformed into 2,375 tub and riser pieces, 368 vomitory walls, and an additional 400 ADA-compliant features, camera platforms, and floor slabs.
Precast concrete emerged as the most viable choice for this multi-faceted project due to its lightweight properties, coupled with the remarkable efficiency it offers during the construction phase—enabling deployment of up to four installation teams simultaneously. This innovative approach not only streamlined the construction process but also enhanced the structural integrity of this expansive development.
Adding to its allure, the stadium encompasses the YouTube Theater, further solidifying its status as an iconic and multifunctional structure sprawled across its massive 298-acre site. The employment of precast concrete has endowed SoFi Stadium with unmatched durability and reliability, securing its position as one of the most robust structures worldwide. This project underscores the boundless potential of precast concrete in facilitating large-scale, complex infrastructural endeavors.
