Overview
The Home Depot Center is a jack of all trades: home of the LA Galaxy and Chivas USA soccer teams, the official training site of the US Track & Field team as well as USA cycling, the US Soccer Federation, and the US Tennis Association. Not to mention it’s one heck of a rockin’ concert venue.
The Home Depot Center is definitely up to the task of becoming a world-renowned sporting venue with its 27,000 seat capacity soccer stadium, 8,000-seat tennis venue, a track-and-field stadium, a boxing ring, a 3,000-square-foot weight room, 30 tennis courts, nine soccer training fields, and a three-mile jogging trail. And speaking of attractions, The Home Depot Center has the best bathroom and food stand layouts around: they reside in a wideopen perimeter that is above not only the action on the field, but a majority of the seating, so the occasional trip to the bathroom or to go buy a margarita means that you’ll miss none of the action. And let’s not forget the parking: there’s so much parking, you might just decide to stick around and enroll at Cal State Dominguez Hills, the university campus where HDC is housed.
