Report: NFL Owners Want Players to Fund Part of $2.5B Needed for New LA Stadium

NFL owners reportedly want to offset the rising costs of SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, which has seen its cost balloon to an estimated $5 billion, by asking the players to offset some of those costs in collective bargaining agreement talks.

Dan Patrick said on his eponymous radio show Wednesday:
"The league is proposing that maybe they give players 49 percent of the revenue, but they want to use the extra money they get—the percentage [point] is about $150 million I was told—they want the players to then help finance the Los Angeles stadium. We'll give you 49 percent of the revenue, but we want to use 2 percent of that revenue—so $300 million over the next couple years—to help the stadium."


Originally projected at a $2.5 billion price tag, SoFi Stadium has seen its cost rise precipitously ahead of its 2020 opening. Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Rams, is privately financing the stadium.

Patrick notes that it's unlikely that the players would agree to any CBA in which they help finance a stadium. Ownership was entirely responsible for approving the plan, along with the Rams and Chargers relocating to Los Angeles. SoFi will be the home for the two L.A. franchises.

Players currently receive 47 percent of revenue under the CBA signed in 2011. That deal is due to expire after next season, but the two sides have been in negotiations about striking a potential compromise early. Patrick said owners have targeted Thanksgiving as their preferred date, which would give them a united front going into renegotiations of the league's television deals, which are also nearing their conclusions.

Owners have also been pushing for an additional regular-season game and/or an expansion of the playoffs as a way to generate revenue. Given there has been no formal agreement on any of these tentpole issues, these goals seem particularly unlikely.

Really. Lol. How's about this.

Stan and Spanos pay down the debt instead of the relocation fee.

Soon enough, the Los Angeles Rams will be running out of the tunnel in their new home, SoFi Stadium. And as of Monday, fans can finally get a feel for what it’ll be like to watch that happen next season.
With the stadium set to open next summer, the first set of seats were installed this week. The official SoFi Stadium account on Twitter posted a photo of the view from inside the lower bowl at one end of the field.

As for the exterior of the stadium, it’s also coming along nicely. The outer canopy has taken shape with most of the metal panels installed already.
Progress has also been made on the roof, which will be transparent and truly one of a kind.
