# Sustainable Football Stadiums New Los Angeles NFL Stadium Will Be LEED Certified By TopDog | Published 2010-02-04 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/los-angeles-nfl-stadium References: [archdaily](http://www.archdaily.com/48328/los-angeles-nfl-stadium-aedas-sport/) Los Angeles could be the home of the world's first LEED certified football stadium as soon as 2011, and it's a pretty exciting plan. Designed by global architecture firm Aedas, the 75,000 seat Los Angeles NFL Stadium will utilize up to 40% less steel during the build, and includes carbon dioxide-reducing initiatives. The venue also has huge potential for retail, entertainment and recreational facilities, and also meets Super Bowl host qualifications. Let's hope that the Los Angeles NFL Stadium has a team by then. A good bet would be the Jaguars or the Bills. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **LEED Certified Stadiums:** Opportunity for designing and constructing football stadiums that are environmentally sustainable and meet LEED certification standards. - **Reducing Steel Usage in Stadium Construction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to develop construction methods and materials that significantly reduce the amount of steel used in building football stadiums. - **Carbon Footprint Reduction in Stadium Operations:** Opportunity to implement initiatives that reduce the carbon dioxide emissions of football stadiums during operations and events. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture and Design:** Industry that can explore innovative approaches to design environmentally sustainable football stadiums that meet LEED certification standards. - **Construction:** Industry that can develop new construction methods and materials to reduce the use of steel in building football stadiums. - **Event Management:** Industry that can implement carbon footprint reduction initiatives in the operation and management of football stadiums during events and games. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Industrial Landmark Stadiums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerhouse.md) - [Wooden Resilience Stadiums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fukushima-united.md) - [Skyline Sports Arenas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neom-sky-stadium.md) - [Curved Stadium Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xian-international-football-centre.md) - [Dynamic Modern Football Stadiums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manchester-united-3.md) - [Architectural Sports Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xian-international-football.md) - [Largest American Soccer Stadiums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/populous-1.md) - [Adaptive Olympic Stadiums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brisbane-olympic-stadium.md) - [Hybrid Football Stadium Housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tammela-stadium.md)
