Brief 

The SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., will host the 2022 Super Bowl on Sunday in a structure built with macrofiber-reinforced concrete from Euclid Chemical. Mike Mahoney, director of marketing and technology for fiber-reinforced concrete at Euclid Chemical, says the material led to “reduced construction costs, less environmental site impact, improved worker safety, and the ability for the contractor to place more concrete faster with less manpower required.”

 

Insight

The 2022 NFL championship football game, featuring the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals, is set to be played at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

Located at the former site of the Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood, SoFi Stadium is the home of the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers professional football teams. In order to get it ready for the 2020 National Football League (NFL) season, the stadium underwent massive construction to transform it into a state-of-the-art facility featuring the latest technology and expanded capacity.

Construction of the building took roughly four years beginning in November 2016 and opening its doors to the public on September 8, 2020. It cost $5 billion.

Now the largest stadium in the NFL, the building sets the new standard in stadium construction. The 3.1-million-square-foot facility is slated to host a variety of iconic events, most recently the NFL’s Super Bowl LVI, the College Football Playoff Championship in 2023, and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Olympic Games in 2028.

The stadium is able to regularly seat 70,240 spectators, with the ability to expand its capacity to accommodate an additional 30,000 people for special events.
