## Resource

SoFi Stadium stunned the world with its FIFA World Cup run, hosting eight electrifying matches on a pristine natural grass field—something it rarely uses for NFL games. Spain’s thrilling quarterfinal win over Belgium capped a spectacle that drew over half a million fans, celebrity sightings, and raves from players like New Zealand’s Darren Bazeley, who called it the best pitch he’s ever played on. The stadium’s transformation—from NFL turf to FIFA-ready grass—proved its versatility, while its future looks even brighter: Super Bowl in February, then Olympic swimming in 2028. The World Cup didn’t just pass through Los Angeles—it left a global legacy, cementing SoFi as the ultimate multi-sport arena.
