New: Latest on Kroenke, Rams and NFL in STL

[Legatron4]

Man I keep looking for the big horn around it and I can't for the life of me see it. Where is it?

The top of the stadium. It's shaped like the horn on the Rams helmets.

I'm lost. What does this mean?

It means that the legislation that Ryan Silvey was trying to get was denied. The governor has the authority to convert the bonds over to the new stadium.

The newest Carson drawings are way, way cooler than Inglewood...

I must have donned my dunce cap again because, as much as I like this from a conceptual perspective, why is there always a piece of me that thinks....1993.....flood....when I see these renderings of the new stadium 2 feet off the riverfront.

Somebody tell me that possibility has been accounted for.[/QUOTE]
Yes it has I read somewhere I can't really recall but it said something like the stadium sits like 2 feet above the flood stage of 1993. Or more can't recall really lol

It looks like it will float. If not they should talk to the Carson engineers.

Rams COO Kevin Demoff joins The Fast Lane in studio to talk about the Rams stadium situation and some football talk as well.

Listen to Demoff Interview

Is there another Legatron4 on here? Because I didn't say that.

I disagree. While I like it more than the crap they first came out with, I think the Inglewood project is much better. The only thing I really like more about Carson is that it is open air. The closed half doesn't look too bad, but the back half, I'm not digging. Honestly it looks like something the Chargers designed more than the Raiders.

I think this stadium looks better at this point. It really is beautiful, IMO. The one thing Inglewood has over it for me is the roof with the advertisements on it. Other than that, this one wins hands down to me.

 

[dbrooks25]

I listened to this live and it was a pretty decent interview. They didn't grill Demoff, but he answered the questions as best he could. He did confirm that the Rams did have input in the changes made to the Stl stadium and that most of the changes won't be seen in the renderings.

I wasn't sure. Sorry to misquote you. I quoted a quote that had your name. I guessed wrong.
When I looked back you changed your Avi again and it threw me .. lol

No problem man. I was just confused.

It looks way better than the arc they through out on the fly. I too love the natural grass, open air experience except for the smell of methane / egg. lol
One thing I didn't notice in their renderings were the freeways and all the oil refineries that will surround it. Clever chaps.

What's that mean?

Maybe they cropped them out?

 

[Hacksaw]

Probably best for their pitch.

 

[bluecoconuts]

Probably best for their pitch.

Its interesting with the lack of buzz on twitter, both this and the announcement of its approval have been kind of quiet.

If Stan came into a meeting in beachwear and sunglasses with Demoff and Fisher on each side holding him up I'd lose it.

here you go Goose:
