Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) won’t begin playing in Major League Soccer until 2018 or 2019 as an expansion team, but that hasn’t stopped them from planning one of the premier soccer venues not only in the U.S., but the world.
Recently, LAFC ownership, staff, and Gensler held a Stadium Design & Programming workshop with their future supporters to receive feedback on what they are looking for in their stadium. Included in the workshop were discussions on the design of the supporters’ section and entrance, pre-game festivities outside the stadium, mobile apps, as well as other in-stadium technology.
Read more about the Stadium Design & Programming workshop hosted at Gensler’s L.A. office here. (I’d like to remind you that Gensler is currently working with IAVM on our brand evaluation, too.)
Additionally, in the recently published “LA 2024 Olympic Bid,” the new stadium would serve as the aquatics center, spending US$100 million on the temporary pool as you can see in the renderings.
With new soccer specific stadiums popping up all over North America annually, will you find yourself working in a soccer venue in the near future?
