Filming Locations, LLC and Major League Soccer have reached a licensing agreement that will showcase the league's stadiums to the film industry. All 14 MLS venues are connecting to Hollywood as filming locations via www.FilmingLocations.com with photo galleries of these state-of-the-art parks.

The unique venues that have been custom-made for MLS teams create an authentic soccer atmosphere and are ideal locations for filming movies, television shows, commercials, photo shoots, and music videos. After the League’s inaugural 1996 season, MLS clubs began building soccer-specific stadiums that borrow design concepts from revered soccer venues around the world. Seven such facilities, the year they opened, and the MLS teams that call them home are below:

Crew Stadium, 1999 - Columbus Crew
The Home Depot Center, 2003 - LA Galaxy and Chivas USA
Pizza Hut Park, 2005 - FC Dallas
Toyota Park, 2006 – Chicago Fire
Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, 2007 – Colorado Rapids
BMO Field, 2007 – Toronto FC
Rio Tinto Stadium, 2008 – Real Salt Lake.
