Chivas USA - Stadium

Stadium

  • The Home Depot Center; Carson, California (2005–present)
  • Harder Stadium; Santa Barbara, California (2006) 1 game in US Open Cup
  • Titan Stadium; Fullerton, California (2008, 2010) 2 games in US Open Cup and North American SuperLiga

Chivas USA plays its home games at The Home Depot Center, on the campus of California State University, Dominguez Hills in Carson, California, approximately 10 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. The venue's title sponsor is home-improvement retailer The Home Depot. Built in 2003 as the home stadium for Los Angeles Galaxy, the "HDC" is a 27,000-seat soccer-specific stadium, the second of its kind in the MLS, but has hosted other sports such as rugby and football. Since they began play in 2005, Los Rojiblancos have shared the stadium the Los Galacticos, with whom they compete for the Honda SuperClasico. This arrangement and those of the NFL Jets and Giants in the MetLife Stadium and NBA Lakers and Clippers in the Staples Center are the only cases in the major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada of two teams of the same league sharing a venue.

Chivas USA have occasionally held home games at Titan Stadium on the campus of California State University, Fullerton, and at Harder Stadium on the campus of UC Santa Barbara, such as in the US Open Cup when both they and Los Angeles Galaxy have been drawn to play at home on the same day, but this is generally a rare occurrence.

Famous quotes containing the word stadium:

    It’s no accident that of all the monuments left of the Greco- Roman culture the biggest is the ballpark, the Colosseum, the Yankee Stadium of ancient times.
    Walter Wellesley (Red)

    In their eyes I have seen
    the pin men of madness in marathon trim
    race round the track of the stadium pupil.
    Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)

    The final upshot of thinking is the exercise of volition, and of this thought no longer forms a part; but belief is only a stadium of mental action, an effect upon our nature due to thought, which will influence future thinking.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
