History and description
Dignity Health Sports Park, until 2019 known as Stubhub Center and until 2013 as The Home Depot Center, officially opened on 7 June 2003 with a match between the LA Galaxy and Colorado Rapids (2-0).
Dignity Health Sports Park is part of a $150 million development that includes tennis, athletics, and cycling facilities.
Until 2014, Dignity Health Sports Park was the home of both LA Galaxy and Chivas USA, but then became the sole home of the former when the latter ceased operations. Los Angeles’ newest franchise, LAFC, does not play at Dignity Health Sports Park but instead at the new Banc of California Stadium.

Bus 52 connects the stadium directly with downtown Los Angeles, however the area the bus passes through some rough areas hence care should be taken especially at night.
