The expansion Los Angeles Football Club will play its home opener at Banc of California Stadium on April 29 against the Western Conference champion Seattle Sounders.

Team President Tom Penn said Monday the team’s $350-million home will be completed a couple of weeks ahead of schedule and is expected to open on budget. That’s a break from recent history in MLS, which in the last 14 years has had the opening of 10 soccer-specific stadiums delayed until at least a quarter of the league schedule had been played.
