The stadium’s transformation—from NFL turf to FIFA-ready grass—proved its versatility, while its future looks even brighter: Super Bowl in February, then Olympic swimming in 2028. The World Cup didn’t just pass through Los Angeles—it left a global legacy, cementing SoFi as the ultimate multi-sport arena.
