Hollywood Park Sustainability Program

About Hollywood Park Sustainability:

Since its inception, sustainability has been at the forefront for Hollywood Park. The global sports and entertainment destination is committed to a sustainable future by lessening its environmental impact through water conservation, waste diversion and energy efficiencies, with a focus on creating programs that serve Greater Los Angeles and benefit the surrounding community. Additionally, SoFi Stadium is just the second NFL venue to achieve third-party certification for ISO 20121:2012 Event Sustainability Management System, a standard designed to address the management of improved sustainability throughout the event management cycle.

Statement:

SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park are committed to sustainable operations and management practices across its 298 acres and to becoming a leader in environmental, social, and economic responsibility. The landscape features 16.65 acres of total planting area with over 5,000 trees and plants purposefully selected to promote the regeneration of habitats and encourage the return of native wildlife. In 2025, SoFi Stadium completed its ISO 20121:2012 Event Sustainability Management System recertification.

Water Conservation:

• Lake Park, a 6-acre lake adjacent to SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater, functions as a water recycling system by collecting 70-80 percent of stormwater runoff that irrigates the surrounding landscape.
• SoFi Stadium used reclaimed water for over 81% of its water needs in 2025, saving millions of gallons of drinking water.
• In 2025, 27.5 million gallons of recycled water were used onsite.
• Hollywood Park is home to almost 100 percent Southern California native plant species, each purposely selected to be water-conscious.

Waste Diversion:

• Nearly 700 tons of waste were diverted from landfills in 2025 via recycling, composting, use of the onsite ORCA digesters, and food donations.
• SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater donate their excess prepared foods to recovery agencies like Chefs to End Hunger. The venues donated over 4,800 meals in 2025.

Energy Conservation:

• SoFi Stadium generated over 93% of its total electricity consumption with renewable energy in 2025 via the purchase of nearly 38,000 renewable energy credits from a Texas-based wind farm.
• A project is underway in the stadium parking lots to replace diesel-powered light towers with solar-powered fixtures.
• Located less than 3 miles from the beach, Hollywood Park has an ETFE roof canopy that curves designed to allow continuous ocean breezes, naturally cooling the venue.
• The frit pattern on the ETFE roof canopy hinders direct sunlight so the ambient temperature is approximately 4 degrees cooler inside the building than outside.
• Approximately 200 tons of oxygen is produced per year by Hollywood Park’s landscape design.

Public Transportation:

• Over 65,000 people used public transportation for part of their travel to and from the stadium during the 2025-2026 NFL season.
• EV charger utilization increased by 43% in 2025 and is up 181% since 2022.

Social Sustainability:

• Through their partnership, the Rams and CRC have now constructed three gardens and programming in public schools within proximity of SoFi Stadium.
• For Earth Month, the Los Angeles Rams and SoFi Stadium partnered with NFL Green on a school garden build at Centinela K-8 in Inglewood.
• The 10th annual Taste of the Rams raised over $1.2 million to provide essential food assistance to neighbors throughout Los Angeles County.
• Hollywood Park supports Certified Rams House businesses by hosting small business workshops and utilizing them for home game catering.
• Hollywood Park Moves is a free weekly exercise class led by an Inglewood-based fitness instructor.
• Over 100 3rd grade students from Inglewood Unified School District attended a Day of Play event at SoFi Stadium.
• Over 700 students attended the inaugural STEAM Day at SoFi Stadium.
• Food distribution events for Thanksgiving and December’s Season of Giving provided over 40,000 meals to community members.
• Farm Habits weekly Farmer's Market provides local produce and artisanal goods for the community.
• Following the fires in Jan. 2025, Hollywood Park and partners distributed $3 million worth of merchandise to evacuated Angelenos.
