BMO Stadium is the premier outdoor arena in the Heart of Los Angeles, and we will continue to work together to create more incredible lasting memories there.”

“March 26th marks the next chapter of our journey, and we cannot wait to host our team and our incredible fans at the newly renamed BMO Stadium,” said Julie Uhrman, Co-Founder and President, Angel City Football Club. “As one of our newest partners, BMO has already demonstrated how committed they are to making an impact in the community.

A kick-off celebration was held March 3, 2023, for the newly renamed BMO Stadium. BMO, LAFC, and Angel City FC leaders were joined by special guests Earvin “Magic” Johnson and Mia Hamm for the event. A youth soccer clinic, presented by BMO, was also held on the pitch for children from the Los Angeles Unified School District.

The celebration continued into the evening with an LAFC supporters’ event at BMO Stadium. Supporters had the opportunity to enjoy food and drinks and connect with BMO leaders and other LAFC supporters. To culminate the evening, LAFC supporters were treated to a 500-drone light show above BMO Stadium. The performance was created by BMO to show support for the club, celebrate the start of a new season, and a new partnership at BMO Stadium.
