Adam Duvendeck was named General Manager of Dignity Health Sports Park

Over the past six years, Duvendeck held the positions of Assistant General Manager and Vice President of Operations, where he has been central to executing hundreds of events annually, including MLS Cup Championships, three NFL seasons as the interim home of the Los Angeles Chargers, the 2025 HSBC Rugby Sevens World Championships, the Ultimate Tennis Showdown, the 2024 Pan American Track Cycling Championships and numerous community events. His leadership has driven key infrastructure upgrades; advanced sustainability efforts focused on reducing food waste and enhancing energy efficiency; and strengthened community engagement through youth sports clinics and local partnerships. Duvendeck, who joined AEG in 2011, has served as Interim General Manager since June.

“Adam has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership, operational expertise, and a strong commitment to our organizational values,” said Dan Beckerman, President and CEO of AEG. “As a two-time Olympian and five-time U.S. Track Cycling National Champion, he brings a unique perspective to this role, blending athletic insights and executive expertise. Adam’s passion for our campus makes him the ideal person to lead Dignity Health Sports Park into its next chapter. We are confident that under his guidance, the venue will continue to thrive as a premier destination and community cornerstone.”

As General Manager, he will oversee all facets of the day-to-day operations, venue management, event booking, and strategic planning for the entire complex, which includes the 27,000-seat stadium that serves as home to the six-time MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy. In addition, Duvendeck will oversee facility operations for multiple venues at Dignity Health Sports Park which has recently been selected to host five Olympic competitions during the 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. Duvendeck, a two-time Olympian (2004, 2008), first became familiar with Dignity Health Sports Park (then the Home Depot Center) while training and competing during his professional cycling career.

“Stepping onto this campus more than two decades ago, I knew Dignity Health Sports Park was a special place,” said Duvendeck. “Today, it’s an honor to lead this iconic venue and the incredible team behind it. From hosting the LA Galaxy to world-class events, this stadium is where community, competition, and culture meet. I look forward to building on its legacy and delivering unforgettable experiences as we head toward the 2028 Olympic Games.”

“I want to congratulate Adam on his well-deserved promotion,” said Tom Braun, President of Business Operations and Chief Operating Officer for the LA Galaxy. “He has been a tremendous partner and resource to the Galaxy, and his leadership has played a major role in our efforts to deliver best-in-class fan experiences at our games. We are thrilled to continue our partnership with him.”
