EspañolTHE HOME DEPOT CENTER
(Redirected from Home Depot Center)
'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 13 miles south of Downtown Los Angeles. Its title sponsor is major hardware retailer The Home Depot. The $150 million complex was developed and is operated by the Anschutz Entertainment Group.
The 27,000 seat main stadium was designed specifically for soccer, and is, in fact, nicknamed "The Cathedral of Soccer." It is home to both the Los Angeles Galaxy and Chivas USA of Major League Soccer, and was the second stadium designed specifically for MLS teams.
When the stadium opened in June 2003 as the new home of the Galaxy, a number of special events took place in celebration. Pele, the world's most famous player, was in attendance at the opening match along with many dignitaries from the soccer world, and L.A.-area celebrities.
Both the United States women's national soccer team and the United States men's national soccer team often use the facility for training camps and select home matches. It was the site of the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup final. It hosted the 2003 MLS All-Star Game and the MLS Cup in 2003 and 2004.
The soccer and tennis stadiums of the Center are main venues each year for ESPN's Summer X Games. X Games events held each year at "the HDC" include dicsiplines in skateboarding, in-line skating, auto rally racing, motorcyle racing, and BMX bikes skills competitions.
The Home Depot Center hosted the first three editions (2004-06) of the USA Sevens, an annual competition in the Sevens version of rugby union that is part of the IRB Sevens World Series.
The soccer stadium is sometimes referred to by fans as Victoria Street, the major access road they take to reach the stadium (the stadium itself is on Avalon Boulevard). Opposing fans often refer to it as the Toolbox, a play on the stadium's name.
In addition to the soccer stadium, The Home Depot Center features a 2,500-seat velodrome, a 13,000-seat tennis stadium and an outdoor track and field facility that has 2,000 permanent seats and has seated up to 22,000. The Los Angeles Riptide of Major League Lacrosse play their home games at the track and field stadium. It is also the home of the adidas Running Club, a member of the USA Elite Running Circuit, and the Adidas Track Classic.
Several concerts have been held at The Home Depot Center, including the Vans Warped Tour, The Cure, Green Day, and Dave Matthews. An upcoming show is the KROQ L.A. Invasion (formerly the Inland Invasion in San Bernardino).
