AECOM Hunt

Johnson is the leader of the firm’s sports practice and has over 35 years of industry experience, including 23 with AECOM Hunt. He is leading the development of UBS Arena, the New York Islanders’ future home; the new Class AAA Polar Park in Worcester, Mass.; and a new arena in Savannah, Ga. In the past 20 months alone, Hart completed SoFi Stadium; Las Vegas Ballpark (the most expensive minor league ballpark ever built); Hodgetown ballpark in Amarillo, Texas; a modernization of the San Francisco Giants’ spring training facility in Phoenix; and renovations at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and Arizona State’s Sun Devil Stadium. He is overseeing the construction of the Los Angeles Clippers’ new arena (the most expensive arena ever built) and University of Texas’ Moody Center. Following a promotion in February, much of Hoberg’s focus is on developing strategic alliances and establishing best business practices with the firm’s regional offices. He counts the firm’s 2014 construction of Sloan Park, the Chicago Cubs spring training facility in Mesa, Ariz.; the recently completed $45 million Phoenix Suns training facility; and SoFi Stadium as his favorite projects. — D.B.
