Protecting a Landmark Sports & Entertainment Destination 

Home to two NFL teams, SoFi Stadium anchors the larger Hollywood Park development in Inglewood, California. The complex also includes YouTube Theater, the 2.5-acre American Airlines Plaza, and the 12-acre Lake Park. 

We worked with the SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park security team to perform a threat, vulnerability, and risk assessment (TVRA) across Hollywood Park. The assessment supported a broader effort to strengthen protection for this prominent sports and entertainment destination.

Protective Design for SoFi Stadium & YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park 

Our scope focused on security at and around SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater, while taking into account that Hollywood Park is publicly accessible and will continue to evolve through ongoing development. The TVRA systematically evaluated the risks and consequences associated with a range of attack scenarios, paying particular attention to explosive and vehicle-ramming threats.

Strengthening Security Measures & Supporting the SAFETY Act Application 

We also worked with the security team to identify enhancements that would improve the site’s overall level of protection. The assessment supports SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park’s SAFETY Act application by identifying and evaluating anti-terrorism mitigation measures incorporated into the project’s design and security program. 

The result is a clearer, stronger security framework for one of the country’s most renowned sports and public assembly venues.
