#9 StubHub Center (LA Galaxy)

Capacity – 27,000 (planned 30,000)

The league’s second-ever soccer-specific stadium, the StubHub Center makes the list at #9. The home of the 5 time MLS Cup champions (3 of which were won there), LA Galaxy, has hosted the Western Conference side since 2003. Additionally, former MLS club Chivas USA also called the stadium home from their debut season in 2005 to their final game in 2014.

The stadium holds up to 27,000 fans, which is the fifth highest MLS setting capacity in the league. It reflects a similar look to Children’s Mercy Park, however, the Galaxy have a second level of seats on one touchline of the stands.

Despite its looks and history, there are some criticisms surrounding the stadium. The StubHub Center is not actually in Los Angeles, rather it is in the city of Carson. Additionally, the Galaxy have acquired a new roommate prior to the 2017/18 NFL season when the Chargers made the move to LA.
