The Los Angeles Stadium at Hollywood Park is a sports and entertainment district under construction in Inglewood, California, United States. It will be located about 3 miles (5 km) from Los Angeles International Airport and adjacent to The Forum. The stadium will serve as the home to the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers of the National Football League (NFL). It is planned to open for the 2019 NFL season. On May 24, 2016, the stadium was announced as the host of Super Bowl LV in 2021.
The stadium will be the second NFL stadium after MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey to be shared by two NFL teams: the Giants and Jets. It will be the second in Los Angeles after Staples Center, home of the National Basketball Association (NBA)'s Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers, and the third facility to house two teams from the same sports league in the United States.
The stadium is a component of the City of Champions Revitalization Initiative, the working title of the development on the site of the former Hollywood Park Racetrack. Hollywood Park Casino opened on the lot on October 21, 2016, becoming the first establishment to open on the property.
The stadium site was previously home to Hollywood Park, later sold and referred to as Betfair Hollywood Park, which was a thoroughbred race course from 1938 until it was shut down for racing and training in December 2013. The casino remained open, containing a poker card room. Most of the complex was demolished in 2014 to make way for new construction with the rest demolished in late 2016 after the new Hollywood Park Casino was opened. The current stadium project was not the first stadium proposed for the site. The site was almost home to a NFL stadium two decades earlier. In May 1995 after the departure of the Rams for St. Louis, the National Football League teams approved by a 27-1 vote with two abstentions, a resolution supporting a plan to build a $200 million, privately financed stadium on property owned by Hollywood Park for the then Los Angeles Raiders. Al Davis, who was then the Raiders owner balked and refused the deal over a stipulation that he would have had to accept a second team at the stadium.
