Thirteen miles south of Downtown Los Angeles on the campus of California State University, Dominguez Hills in Carson, California, the Home Depot Center hosts two Major League Soccer (MLS) teams -- the Los Angeles Galaxy and Club Deportivo Chivas USA. With the nickname "The Cathedral of Soccer," this 27,000-seat sports and entertainment complex opened in June 2003 with a celebration of events. The Home Depot Center Track Field hosts the Los Angeles Riptide lacrosse team.

One of the 10 founding teams of the league, and a two-time winner of the MLS Cup, the Galaxy is now the home to the biggest star in soccer today, David Beckham.

Founded in 2004, Chivas USA shares the red, white, blue, and gold colors of Club Deportivo Guadalajara, a popular Mexican team.
