SoFi Stadium to serve as voting center in NFL vote initiative
NEW YORK -- One of the NFL's two new stadium sites will serve as a voting center as the Los Angeles Chargers and Rams are making SoFi Stadium a venue for election support.
The NFL also announced Tuesday on National Voter Registration Day that it is joining with two groups to recruit workers for polling places and to get out the vote.
The Rams and Chargers increase to 14 the number of NFL franchises allowing their sites to be used for the upcoming election. A voting center outside their stadium will open Oct. 30.
Other teams providing such election help are the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Washington Football Team.
"With 41 days until the election -- and the voting period officially starting in some states -- we encourage everyone in the NFL family, including fans, to register if they are eligible to do so," said Kenneth Edmonds, NFL vice president of government affairs. "The clubs who have made their facilities available to host polling activities help to make it even easier for fans to participate in our democratic process and make their voices heard in the upcoming elections."
