Tuesday’s Column

The nation’s most prolific soccer-specific stadium architectural firm Rossetti is based here in LA (actually El Segundo) and is the subject of this week’s column.

A comprehensive look at soccer-specific stadiums is here.

Check out Rossetti’s work below. From top to bottom, are the Rossetti stadiums in Chester (Philadelphia), Sandy (Salt Lake City) and Harrison (New York City).

Minor revelation: The Home Depot Center has 25,500 “seats.” Add another 1,500 people on the grass berm and you get the purported capacity of 27,000, according to Rossetti principal Tim Lambert.

Now you know.
