Carson Olympic Zone
Carson's Dignity Health Sports Park is compact and intense — exactly what you want for rugby and soccer. The stadium holds about 27,000 fans, which means every seat feels close to the action. We've been staffing events here since it opened and we love working this venue. The fans are passionate, the atmosphere is electric, and the surrounding area has gotten way better in recent years.
The South Bay's Premier Sports Destination
Carson's Olympic Zone is centered around Dignity Health Sports Park, a venue we know inside and out. We've staffed MLS matches, international rugby tournaments, concerts, and more here. For LA 2028, this South Bay hub transforms into a dynamic Olympic destination featuring rugby sevens, modern pentathlon, and soccer across multiple competition days.
The surrounding South Bay community offers a welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere with excellent freeway connectivity, diverse dining options, and a growing commercial district. We've built strong relationships in this community and know exactly how to make your brand feel like part of the neighborhood.
