Book ‘Em, Ryan!
• On Saturday, the new Banc of California Stadium in downtown Los Angeles hosted its inaugural concert event — the iHeartRadio Wango Tango by AT&T. This week, Adam Friedman, the recently named President of Banc of California Stadium (BOCS) Entertainment & EVP of LAFC Sports, LLC, announced the appointment of Ryan Northcutt as Senior Vice President of Booking. In his new role, Northcott will focus on booking all concert and sports events at Banc of California Stadium, with the exception of the games of the MLS Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC).
Northcott was most recently GM of Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, CA. He previously spent eight years with Anschutz Entertainment Group and AEG Facilities in the national booking department and, more recently, as Director of Booking for Oracle Arena and Oakland Alameda Coliseum in Oakland, CA. Northcott will be based in BOCS Entertainment’s downtown L.A. offices and work closely with Annie Benson, Director of Special Events and Angel Custodio, Manager of Special Events.
Located on the site of the former Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, the $350 million, 23,000-seat Banc of California Stadium is the first open-air stadium built in Los Angeles since Dodger Stadium in 1962.
