Video of Proposed new LA NFl stadium

[Nuclear Bear]

Looks pretty neat and its seems like they are going for a place like Dodger Stadium.....but


seems a little low budget compared to Jerry world

So Super Bowl 46 presented by Bank of America is going to be in LA?

 

[CHETOLONGHORN]

Home of the Saints or Chargers? I wish San Antonio got a team.

 

[HornGrandioso]

I love the idea of building a stadium "into" a hill, but I would imagine it's been done before. Anyone know?

 

[DeadHeadHorn]

It's gonna take 2 hours to get there from LA on gameday. It's way out there.

And it's going to be hot as ****.

 

[Ramathorn]

Hotter than Texas stadium or Jacksonville?

 

[l00p]

My family will be only a few miles from there. A short drive from East LA and the barrio. But they are all Raiders fans and that won't change, sadly.

Many stadiums are 'sunk' into a hill (Rose Bowl, Jack Murphy/Qualcomm, etc) but I don't recall a stadium dug out from the middle of a hill....and I don't think this stadium qualifies for that either. IMO it almost looks like this stadium is to be built like any other with some extra dirt added to make it look like it was dug out of a hill...kinda of how they add a bunch of dirt when building overpasses and such.

There's a soccer stadium in Mexico being dug out of the middle of a hill right now.

The old Stanford stadium was at least half underground; Jones Stadium in Lubbock and I believe the Big House have playing fields that are below grade.

I agree with whoever said it looks kinda cheap. You can see their economic emphasiss, too, with all the luxury boxes on one side and that huge bank of endzone seats. When you look at the stadiums for the 2008 and 2004 Olympics and Bayern Munich and Wembly and the Stade de France, you quickly see how awful this thing is.

I'd have to believe that there were at least a couple of other stadium designs that were much nicer.

Seems like UTEP stadium is built into a mountain. There is a whole highrise of skyboxes in that LA stadium. I was wondering when it will come to an entire stadium of skyboxes to maximize profits. They might have to build microphones into the skyboxes to get crowd noise though.

 

[Steel Shank]

Reminds me of venerable Floyd Casey.

 

[netslave]

Man, that place screams "LA"

They'd need a new team for that stadium. The LA Pansies or something along those lines.

Yes the Sun Bowl in El Paso is built into the mountains. I thought most here would know that. Also, LA already has two football teams, I doubt they will get another right now.
The question is do you pull for the Galaxy or Chivas?

 

[random horn]

that looks like ***. and wtf is up with those stands - the upper deck looks like it's a mile away from the field

That Location is horrible

 

[GatorHorn]

Looks like they copied some design elements from the new Solider Field.

 

[groverat]

I think that place looks unique in a good way.

As far as the location, this Texas boy wouldn't know.

 

[KingKoopa]

never been in, just passed it en route to LA for a pair of rose bowls. very cool looking from the highway.
