Stan Kroenke's $5-billion Sports Stadium Masterpiece
I have been documenting the construction of the SoFi Stadium at Hollywood Park in Inglewood for the past several years. Now that the construction is completed and my contract is finished, I can share some of the pictures.
In the beginning, I was sad to see the Hollywood Park Race Track torn down. I remember going to Hollywood Park in my younger days and it always felt like an LA landmark. When construction started I didn't know what to expect at the Hollywood Park site since the primary phases of the construction were the excavation of a large hole where the old race track used to be. But as soon as the stadium structure started to take shape, I knew this was going to be an impressive, new LA landmark at Hollywood Park.
