Sofi Stadium

An Unrivaled Sports & Entertainment Destination. SoFi Stadium is the home of the LA Rams, LA Chargers, Super Bowl LVI, the 2023 College Football Championship, and the 2028 Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Olympic Games.

ZAHNER, the premiere architectural, engineering, and manufacturer of metal facades, finishes, and sculptures, was brought on board to consult and collaborate with the HKS team. This collaboration process, referred to as Zahner Assist, allowed HKS to ultimately prove its' design and materials regarding the stadium's magnificent independently-supported canopy.

During the Zahner Assist phase, ZAHNER was asked to develop an anodized finish with a white tint, which did not exist in the marketplace at that time Using ZAHNER'S expertise in metallurgy, ZAHNER developed a "Frost White" anodized finish on aluminum, which provided solutions to key challenges and demands on the project. Some of these challenges were perfecting the amount of light, transparency, and airflow through the perforated ZAHNER metal skin.
