Los Angeles Sparks Announce $150 Million Training Facility
Los Angeles Sparks have revealed their plans to build a state-of-the-art training facility with a $150 million investment. The center, which will span 55,000 square feet, is scheduled to open its doors in El Segundo, California, in 2027.
This project represents the largest investment made by a single team in the history of women’s sports.
We are building a place where Sparks players can perform at their best on and off the court. From state-of-the-art training and recovery spaces to family and community areas, every corner of this facility was designed with them in mind. It reflects our commitment to our team, our fans, and the city of Los Angeles, and sets a new standard for what a professional sports organization can provide to its athletes.
Eric Holoman, Governor of the Sparks
La instalación de entrenamiento planeada por los Sparks tendrá 55,000 pies cuadrados y contará con un “santuario para jugadores” con piscina y salas de siesta, dos canchas de baloncesto reglamentarias, un vestuario circular, un gimnasio y áreas de entrenamiento.The initiative to build new training facilities marks a new stage in the WNBA. Several teams have already built dedicated training centers in recent years, while others have announced plans to build their own.
The Sparks’ new facility represents a significant investment in the franchise, which had historically lagged behind in providing resources for its players.
The center will feature the WNBA’s first indoor-outdoor “player sanctuary,” which will include an outdoor spa pool, nap rooms, and wellness spaces; two regulation courts; a circular locker room; and a state-of-the-art gym and training areas.
