Banc of California Stadium, Los Angeles, CA –
Home of the Los Angeles Football Club

Project Description
The Banc of California Stadium located in Exposition Park is the first open-air stadium built in Los Angeles since Dodger Stadium in 1962. It hosts the 23rd team in Major League Soccer, The Los Angeles Football Club, which made its debut in 2018. The massive building is a 22000-seat soccer-specific venue and is as impressive as some of the club’s star-studded ownership group, which includes the likes of actor Will Ferrell, former Unites States Women’s National Team player Mia Hamm and former Lakers player and current President of Basketball Operations Earvin “Magic” Johnson.

The MLS expansion team built its $350 million new home in about 18 months, using cutting-edge design to create a throwback feel for the new club’s fans. Gensler was the Architect of record and Lighting design was managed by California design firm, First Circle Design.

A Versatile Player

The Pyros Projector was used in multiple areas throughout the Coliseum. The Pyros Projector mounted on exterior poles provides the ideal amount of luminance and projection to provide guests with area and site lighting as they enter the stadium. It is also mounted inside the coliseum above common areas.

Designing with Light

DuraTape ES provides the perfect thin and flexible solution that allows lighting to become part of the architectural accents in the interior walls in the hallway that leads to one of the stadiums luxury bars on the Field Level Club.

Lighting in Tight Spaces

Throughout the hospitality areas of the Stadium you can find DuraTape ES beautifully illuminating spaces that only a flexible and high quality tape can fit. DuraTape can be mounted in channels and via self adhesive tape to provide designers with complete flexibility for installation and illumination affects.
