Opened in September 2020, the fixed-roof stadium is home to the National Football League (NFL)'s Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams, as well as the annual LA Bowl in college football. The facility is a component of Hollywood Park, a master planned neighborhood in development on the site of the former racetrack. The stadium hosted Super Bowl LVI on February 13, 2022, and is scheduled to host the opening and closing ceremonies (as well as soccer and archery events) of the 2028 Summer Olympics.

SoFi Stadium

 The FC Dallas (Football Club) Soccer Complex is home to a professional soccer team as well as 19 practice fields for school and amateur teams. Dozens of soccer leagues fill the fields with running players throughout the season. The sculpture, Frisco Flyer, was commissioned to mark the center of the practice fields. Mercury`s winged foot, encouraging the players speed, is rendered in stainless steel and gold. A plaster cast of a human foot was sent to a medical imaging company that put it through an MRI scanning device. The resulting layers were then reformed into the image of the foot in a configuration that is similar to a topographic map. The winged foot is made from 25 paneled sections of &frac14;&rdquo; stainless steel plate, held apart in 3&rdquo; increments. These vertical contours are welded together into one rigid form. Seen as a solid from most vantage points it will become more ghostlike and ephemeral when seen through the axis of the foot, toe to ankle. 42 Aluminum feathers are inserted between the foot plates. They are gilded with 23 carat gold leaf. The base is 15` in height, 3` in diameter. It is at a 15% angle to the ground. A ring of light emitting diodes (LED`s) baths the flying foot in changing color. An 18" tall 24` across Star platform base surrounds the column. It is made from concrete and clad with one inch thermal finish granite. Engraved into the top of the granite are the word "soccer" in numerous languages accompanied by maps of countries where the game is played and language spoken.

 Located in the heart of Las Vegas Boulevard, Crystals is the 500,000-square-foot retail and entertainment space, which is the connective center of the MGM MIRAGE City Center project. It is a vertical city within a city that includes 2,400 private residences, two boutique hotels, and a 61-story resort casino. The crystalline &amp; metal-clad fa&ccedil;ade signal to visitors well in advance of arrival that Crystals is not a traditional retail environment. An entryway into the retail area from the Strip will draw pedestrians into the public arcade, covered by a spiraling roof structure. From the interior, the roof`s dramatic angles and skylights become a backdrop for the luxury retail and dining it houses which include Louis Vuitton, TIFFANY &amp; CO., and Bulgari as well as concept restaurants from Wolfgang Puck and Todd English. The public spaces allow for a variety of urban experiences: a water feature at the entry, cafes and a grand staircase leading to Casino Square at the end of the arcade, animating the entire space. The design and construction of Crystals employed the most environmentally conscious practices and materials. In November 2009 it was announced that Crystals achieved LEED&reg; Gold Core &amp; Shell certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), making it the world`s largest retail district to receive this level of recognition.
