After more than two years of construction, the Los Angeles Chargers have moved into a new training facility and headquarters campus in El Segundo.

The complex, known as "The Bolt," spans approximately 14 acres near the intersection of El Segundo Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway. The 150,000-square-foot facility was developed for the Chargers by Continental Development Corporation and Mar Ventures, Inc. on land that was once part of Raytheon's South Bay campus. It includes three natural grass practice fields, training and rehabilitation centers, a media center, meeting facilities, and a dining room.

Gensler Sports designed the complex, which also includes a parking lot and seating for spectators.

“Today is the culmination of almost three years of visionary collaborative efforts and we’re amped up to officially welcome the Los Angeles Chargers to El Segundo,” said El Segundo Mayor Drew Boyles. “This world-class facility represents more than a new home for the Chargers, it’s also a symbol of our City’s commitment to innovation, fostering strategic partnerships, and promoting economic development across industries. Further solidifying El Segundo as the most important five square miles economically in Southern California and the premier training ground for professional athletes.”

El Segundo, which has long touted the roster of Fortune 500 companies which have offices in city limits, now bills itself as the only city in the United States which is home to the headquarters and practice facilities for NBA, NHL, and NFL teams. In addition to the Chargers, the Lakers and the Kings also call the city home.

The Chargers are not the only professional sports franchise building out a new home in Los Angeles County.  The Los Angeles Rams, which share SoFi Stadium with the Chargers, is setting up a new headquarters and practice facility in Warner Center.
