Debuting tomorrow (17 June), when LA Galaxy meet Houston Dynamo, the globe will remain a permanent fixture for the length of the partnership.

“Bringing together two internationally recognisable brands such as the LA Galaxy and Universal Studios Hollywood is the perfect partnership to promote the excitement, family atmosphere, and entertainment that we create for Galaxy fans at StubHub Center,” said LA Galaxy president Chris Klein. “We are constantly looking for ways to enhance the guest experience and this partnership will help to raise the bar even higher.”

As part of the partnership, Universal Studios Hollywood, the LA Galaxy and the StubHub Center will carry out a variety of cross-promotional content across both social and digital media platforms in addition to a range of in-stadium signage.
