The LA Galaxy will be honored as an Environmental Innovator of the Year at Green Sports Alliance’s (GSA) Sixth Annual Game Changer Awards in Sacramento, Calif. on June 28, 2017. The Galaxy were selected for their efforts in sustainable stadium operations at StubHub Center in addition to community and fan engagement.
Leading the way in sustainable stadium operations, the LA Galaxy and StubHub Center launched Protect the Pitch, a club and stadium-wide initiative designed to engage the community, save water, conserve energy, and reduce waste. The LA Galaxy’s stadium at StubHub Center was the first soccer-specific MLS stadium to be lit with high efficiency LED sports lights and uses recycled water to irrigate the pitch.
