Chargers’ state-of-the-art facility is impressive

The Los Angeles Chargers are entering a new phase with Jim Harbaugh taking over as head coach. That is not all that is new for the franchise, as they will kick off training camp next week in their new state-of-the-art facility.

Located in El Segundo, the 150,000-square-foot headquarters called The Bolt is everything one could expect and more from an NFL facility. The Chargers will head into the Harbaugh era in style and are now fully engrained into the Los Angeles community after formerly holding training camp in Costa Mesa.

The heart of the location features three beautiful natural grass regulation practice fields adjacent to their indoor-outdoor weight room area. A three-story building overlooks the fields, and there is everything inside to entice players to spend as much time perfecting their craft as possible. There will be no real reason to leave the premises during training camp other than to go home, rest up, and spend some time with the family.

The facility is equipped with a full cafeteria by Wolfgang Puck Catering, a sauna, steam room, pool, hydrotherapy room, barber’s area, ping pong table, BBQ with a firepit, and even a golf simulator.

Ideally, teams want their players around the facility as much as possible, and the Chargers should have no problem with that for the foreseeable future. With over 250 televisions on site, there will be no shortage of entertainment.

The second and third floors have a vast array of team and positional meeting rooms for the players and coaches to prepare and study film. Los Angeles got creative with the remaining space on the top floor by adding a members-only club with a bar and view of the practice field for private events.

There is not much more that can be said about The Bolt other than that it is impressive. With the NFL business being what it is, one would expect teams to have nice facilities, but it is hard to imagine just how imposing they can be.
