It’s match day in Los Angeles! As the U.S. takes the field at Los Angeles Stadium, one of the world’s most recognizable sports venues is back in the global spotlight.

Known outside the World Cup as SoFi Stadium, this venue reflects the scale, coordination, and design ambition behind today’s major sports environments.

ETS’ work at the stadium is part of that larger experience, helping shape a venue designed for visibility, performance, and unforgettable public moments.

The World Cup begins today, and stadium architecture is already part of the conversation.

Dezeen’s feature on the sixteen host stadiums highlights two venues with ETS connections: SoFi Stadium and BC Place.

From SoFi’s ETFE-clad roof structure to the cable-supported, retractable-roof renovation at BC Place, these venues show how tensile architecture can shape the experience of global sport.

We’ll be sharing more throughout the tournament as ETS projects come into frame across host cities.

With the World Cup kicking off in Mexico City today, we look at the 16 stadiums hosting games at the tournament in USA, Mexico and Canada.

A major milestone for our ETS team was reached at the new Nissan Stadium – the top net is officially pinned!

This achievement is a testament to the precision, coordination, and grit of the crews making it happen high above the field. From the rope access technicians and ironworkers to the teams supporting heavy lifting, cranes, scaffolding, and overall project coordination, every connection represents countless hours of planning and expert ex*****on. Special thanks to our project partners, the Ironworkers Local 492, ZDI Rope Access, VSL, Maxim Crane Works, LP, Solid Platforms, INC, and Tennessee Builders Alliance, for helping bring this milestone to life.

Proud to see the vision continuing to take shape one milestone at a time.

Precision in motion: a single panel lifted, positioned, and secured.

Now that Tropicana Field has reopened, this time-lapse offers a look behind the scenes at the process that made it possible – where coordination, timing, and ex*****on had to align at every step.

24 panels
5,000 lbs each
14,400 sf each

Multiply that across more than 345,000 SF of membrane, and the scale of the effort comes into focus.
