SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park, the new home of the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers has appointed Pechanga Resort Casino as its newest Founding Partner of the new 70,000-seat stadium and 298-acre development being built by Rams Owner/Chairman E Stanley Kroenke

As a part of the agreement, Pechanga Resort Casino, owned and operated by the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians, will be the official California casino partner of the Rams, Chargers, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park. It is the first Southern California-headquartered company to announce a sponsorship with SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park.

“We are thrilled to partner with the Chargers and the Rams, and to be a part of SoFi Stadium,” said Tribal Chairman Mark Macarro. “This isn’t just a Los Angeles stadium, it’s a Southern California stadium, and Southern California has always been and will always be our home.”

In honor of the holiday season and as a new member of the Inglewood community, Pechanga tribal leadership is donating $100,000 to Morningside High School in Inglewood and the Inglewood chapters of non-profits School on Wheels and US Vets. 

“We are building a global destination that will be the pinnacle of sports and live entertainment,” said Jason Gannon, managing director, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park. “Pechanga is a company that not only shares Stan Kroenke’s vision to build a world-class facility and fan-first development with Hollywood Park, but also shares our passion for our surrounding communities.”

The casino operator will have an extensive presence across the stadium, and when SoFi Stadium opens in July 2020, it will feature select Pechanga-branded spaces, including the Pechanga Founders Club, a 14,000 square-foot premium club space located on field level. The space will be creatively branded throughout, and guests will be up close to all the action happening on the field.

“We are proud to be the first Southern California-based Founding Partner with SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park,” said Jared Munoa, President of the Pechanga Development Corporation. “This is a natural partnership between two of the top entertainment destinations in Southern California. We can’t wait for fans to experience the new Pechanga Founders Club and a lot of the other great amenities here.”

Fans coming to SoFi Stadium will interact with the major resort/casino’s brand across many areas and levels of the stadium, including an 11,500 square-foot activation zone on level 8. The activation zone will provide special branding and experiential opportunities for Pechanga to utilize for guests.
