SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California (US), home of the National Football League (NFL) teams Los Angeles Chargers and the reigning Super Bowl Champion Los Angeles Rams, partnered with the software company CLEAR to bring an expedited entry lane to the stadium, making it easier and faster than ever for guests to get to their seats.

‘SoFi Stadium’ stated that as part of the partnership, CLEAR was named the exclusive identity technology partner of the state-of-the-art venue. The SoFi Stadium is located at Hollywood Park, the 300-acre mixed-use development being built by Los Angeles Rams Owner/Chairman E. Stanley Kroenke.

The SoFi Stadium, the home of the reigning Super Bowl Champion Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers, is located at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California, US.
