With how disappointing the year was it's easy to forget that that Kroenke is building a world class stadium and development. Will be cool to watch this place come to life in HD.

Who needs a world class stadium? All we need is a football field. This field is in Havre, MT and fans can park their cars on the far side in a tiered lot. Pretty cool during a night game.

Total SMH. Thought we were going to see a bird's eye video of a 3D model or something from the architects. Wah-waaah.
Actually, it illustrates pretty well the FAA's concerns about the stadium -- that fly-by is from a commercial jet. From this, it's pretty easy to imagine the logistical and security concerns they have.

Don't know if that's available on the internet yet. Here are some pics and a video of the presentation.

If I'm still alive and kicking in 2019 I promised my kids and grandson I would take them to Disneyland for a week and take in a Rams game .

 

[Hey Man]

There going to need the Chargers there to bring the fans into the stadium, lol.

 

[Hey Man]

Unless the Rams brass turn this sinking ship around.

Doesn't it seem like you'd get Greenhoused to death sitting in that stadium in August?

It does. The field will be 100 feet underground. I guess that would keep the field level naturally cooler. It's open air so I guess that allows some heat to escape. It will be interesting to see if it all comes together. Here is a quote from an article.

The stadium sits in the flight path of Los Angeles International Airport, and to conform with FAA height restrictions, construction will push the playing field 100 feet below ground, about 50 feet deeper than the Cowboys’ venue. As part of the six to eight entrances to the building, HKS is designing “canyons,” which are heavily landscaped spaces tied to the escalators, stairs and ramps that will take fans down into the seating bowl, said HKS Principal & Dir of Business Development Mark Williams.

“These are beautifully crafted spaces that people will fall in love with as they begin to see the seating bowl and the field,” Williams said. “It will be an incredible journey through a great Southern California landscaped environment, and all of sudden, you’re 80 to 100 feet below ground.”

The stadium’s roof, made of ETFE, a clear plastic material, is similar to the roof at U.S. Bank Stadium, the Vikings’ facility opening in July. In Inglewood, the roof will include a shade component to protect patrons against the sun’s rays while still bringing in some of the cool winds that are part of the regional climate. "It’s a win-win in the greatest climate in the world,” Williams said.

Didn't think of that, but heck yeah that seems like a hot box. Looks sweet though.

 

[bubbaramfan]

Is the field going to be natural grass or artificial?

 

[RedRam]

I drove by the site yesterday. Really not much to see but I did get a chubby.

Why's there a pic of the Riverfront proposal in there? And one of the other pics isn't the Inglewood project. As far as the "Greenhouse" effect, I think with the massive open sides, which will be at the top of the bowl, hopefully heat will dissipate out of the upper sections. Especially if there is a breeze. I would also assume that with the ETFE it will be enough sunlight for natural grass.

Yeah, Raider fans maybe.

The stadium in Oakland is sunken and players are always slipping and sliding.
Of course, it is close to the ocean also. Sunken fields tends to carry a lot of moisture on the grass however.

 

[rdlkgliders]

We have a storage space 25 feet below ground and it is 70ish all year at the depth of that stadium and its proximity to the coast it should be fine.

 

[Rabid Ram]

Sunken into the ground in an earthquake prone area what could go wrong lol

It is the desert of SoCal and about 9 -10 miles from the ocean. It will be artificial turf as well. I don't know about any possible condensation issues that could arise. Something to watch.

With the cost involved I am sure everything will be considered.
