We're working to build a state-of-the-art sports stadium, entertainment, and premier convention center in downtown L.A. by 2016. The Farmers Field project will create jobs for our community, boost our economy, and finally bring NFL football back to our city.

Immediate Impact

When completed, Farmers Field and the expanded convention center will immediately position downtown L.A. as one of the nation’s premier destinations for sports, entertainment, and conventions.

Farmers Field allows Los Angeles to finally compete for many of the top 50 conventions the current Los Angeles Convention Center is too small to host. The dramatically improved event space will attract an estimated 80 annual event days and increase economic activity in the downtown core.

The Los Angeles Convention Center currently ranks 15th in the United States by size, However, with the addition of Farmers Field and the New Pico Hall, the LACC would be in the top 5 in the U.S.

Our entire city will benefit from higher hotel occupancy rates, more jobs, and better access to important, innovative industry events.
