7 unreal features of the new Los Angeles Stadium

The San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders presented their Carson stadium plan to the NFL last week, and on Monday shared their trailer with the public. The Chargers spent that first season, in 1960, in Los Angeles before moving to San Diego, while the Raiders played in L.A. from 1982 to 1964.

The presentation was led by former 49ers executive Carmen Policy and the teams are going all out in this endeavour, even getting Kiefer Sutherland to narrate the video. Outside of it, fans would be able to watch other games on jumbo screens. Football in LA is already a match made in heaven, but you know the city needs the stadium to match.

Below are some of the highlights of this stadium which is unlike anything we have ever seen with the video provided by RaiderCentral.

The stadium would be able to accommodate 65,000 people.

The renderings show an open-air stadium wrapped in steel bands, its seating shaded by canopies, with features that range from a nearby stage for live music performances to an authentic farmers’ market.

“Sunshine. Beaches. Hollywood. Where anything is possible”, he says.

The plan includes a NFL campus with a football field just for fans.

One prominent feature from earlier versions vanished.

Previous plans called for a tower that extends 115 to 120 feet through and above the main concourse of the sleek, futuristic stadium.

Backed by St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke, the Inglewood proposal used a ballot measure to avoid the environmental review process, too. The $1.8 billion venue on the site of a former horse track would be part of a sprawling development of homes, parks and office space. The NFL owners and the league are clearly in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act and we fans are confident that a judge will honor an injunction on this proposed complaint, and we fans will have our day in court. “No wonder the Chargers want to leave”, he said. Under current rules, the next opportunity for a team to file to relocate would be in January 2016.

The NFL owners meet again in October in New York, but no relocation vote is expected at that meeting.

A report commissioned by Carson earlier this year found the stadium project on the 168-acre site of a former landfill had “some increased environmental and land use related impacts” but offered “significant fiscal benefits” to the city.
