PSG seeks avant-garde stadium: Inspiration from the SoFi in Los Angeles

PSG Seeks Inspiration in US Stadiums for its New Home

Paris Saint-Germain, after the success of its recent victories and the consolidation of its squad, has set its sights on the construction of a new stadium. The club’s CEO, Victoriano Melero, has revealed that the team is being inspired by the success of the avant-garde facilities in Los Angeles. The PSG is exploring options outside the Parc des Princes, a stadium with a capacity of 48,000 spectators. The team’s directors will spend a year studying possible locations in Massy and Poissy, with the aim of offering a variety of entertainment options, according to Melero.

“The next challenge is a new stadium,” Melero commented to Alofoke Deportes in Los Angeles, prior to the PSG match at the Club World Cup in Pasadena.

Melero added that the club feels motivated by what is happening in the United States with sports facilities. The SoFi Stadium is a prominent example, as it is much more than a sports facility, it is an integral part of entertainment and shows, which PSG seeks to replicate to diversify its income.

The SoFi Stadium, inaugurated in 2020, is a technological marvel that houses the NFL’s Rams and Chargers, and has been the scene of concerts by artists such as Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. In addition, it will play a key role in next summer’s World Cup and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. The stadium, costing $5 billion, is located in Hollywood Park, a growing commercial and residential area. This indoor-outdoor stadium with a capacity for 70,000 spectators is located next to the Intuit Dome, the modern NBA arena that opened last year. While the new stadium is being built, PSG will continue to play at the Parc des Princes.
