Rooftop soccer complex opens at the Americana at Brand

A new rooftop sports complex has opened in Glendale, transforming part of the Americana at Brand into an open-air soccer venue.

The 25,000-square-foot installation, called Skyline Pitch, occupies the top level of the shopping center’s parking structure and features two small-sided soccer fields, a panna cage, futsal tennis court and lounge spaces overlooking the city.

Developed by Chicago-based marketing agency Elemento L2, the temporary venue aims to bring small-field, urban-style soccer to Los Angeles.

“L.A.’s soccer community is incredibly vast and diverse,” said Ivan Lopez, founder of Skyline Pitch and managing director of elemento L2. “We set out to create something truly unique—a space where the game meets the city skyline.”

The facility will host pickup matches, youth camps, training sessions and competitive leagues.

Organizers say they expect the venue to serve as both a playing space and social gathering point, with programming that includes watch parties and cultural events ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Officials from the Americana at Brand say the partnership is part of a broader goal to engage with the local community. “We jumped at the opportunity to partner with Skyline Pitch to reimagine our space and bring the thrill of rooftop soccer to LA fans,” said Corey Conrad of Caruso, the parent company of the shopping center.
