The StubHub Center, formerly the Home Depot Center, is a multiple-use sports complex located on the campus of California State University, Dominguez Hills in Carson, California. It is located approximately 10 miles (16 km) south of Downtown Los Angeles. Its title sponsor is online ticket marketplace StubHub, replacing hardware retailer The Home Depot. The $150 million complex was developed and is operated by the Anschutz Entertainment Group. With a set capacity of 27,000, it is the second-largest soccer-specific stadium in Major League Soccer. Its primary tenant is the LA Galaxy. The Los Angeles Chargers of the National Football League will use the stadium from 2017 until they move into Los Angeles Stadium at Hollywood Park with the Los Angeles Rams, which is currently scheduled to be open in time for the 2019 NFL season.
For a decade from its opening the complex was called the Home Depot Center. It was renamed StubHub Center on June 1, 2013.
The 27,000 seat main stadium was the second American sports arena designed specifically for soccer in the MLS era. When the venue opened in June 2003 as the new home of LA Galaxy, a number of special events took place in celebration. Pelé was in attendance at the opening match along with many dignitaries from the soccer world and other celebrities.
In addition to the soccer stadium, StubHub Center features a 2,450-seat velodrome, an 8,000-seat tennis stadium and an outdoor track and field facility that has 2,000 permanent seats and is expandable to 20,000. Soccer stadium building costs within the $150 million complex were around $87 million.
