Owner of St. Louis Rams plans to build NFL stadium in Inglewood

The owner of the St. Louis Rams plans to build an NFL stadium in Inglewood, which could pave the way for the league's return to Los Angeles.

Rams owner Stan Kroenke, who bought 60 acres adjacent to the Forum a year ago, has joined forces with the owners of the 238-acre Hollywood Park site, Stockbridge Capital Group. They plan to add an 80,000-seat NFL stadium and 6,000-seat performance venue to the already-massive development of retail, office, hotel and residential space, Stockbridge and the Kroenke Group told The Times.

Is there an aerial view of that location right now available?

Not the renderings, but what it looks like today, as of this second?
 
its a horse racing track, they probably have to tear a lot of it down to build, AL Davis had a plan like that at the same location years ago for the raiders but they ended up moving
 
Dope, won't disrupt downtown at all, they are already building so much other stuff down here. Thought that Farmers Field was supposed to replace the LA Convention Center, but Inglewood is a much better location.
 
From the Chargers today:

  • The Los Angeles and Orange County market has been without an NFL team for 20 years.
  • Over those two decades the Chargers have worked diligently to win fans and business partners in the LA/Orange County market.
  • And the Chargers have succeeded. Now, fully 25 percent of the Chargers’ season ticket base comes from the LA/Orange County market (along with the Inland Empire).
  • If another team – or two other teams – enters the LA/Orange County markets, most of that Chargers’ business there will disappear.
  • The Chargers are continuing to work hard to find a solution in San Diego.
  • But we also want to be clear with this Task Force right at the outset: We are keeping a close eye on developments in LA. We do not have a choice but to also monitor and evaluate our options there. Simply put, it would be irresponsible for the Chargers not to be taking every possible step to protect the future of the franchise.

Inglewood...Great Western Forum, a lot of good memories going there as a kid for Laker games.
 
IMO the Chargers need to stay in SD & The Raiders need to stay in Oakland. I really want the Rams to come back to LA.

Q: The announcement indicates that the proposed stadium in Carson would be 100% financed with stadium-generated revenues. If the Chargers can finance a stadium in Los Angeles without public tax dollars, why can’t the team do the same thing here in San Diego?


A: A stadium can be financed in Los Angeles because the LA-Orange County-Inland Empire marketplace is able to support the sale of hundreds of millions of dollars of Personal Seat Licenses (PSLs) or Stadium Builder Licenses (SBLs). These licenses provide a significant amount of funding for the stadium project, as the City of Santa Clara and the 49ers recently demonstrated with the public-private partnership and the record-breaking SBL sales that helped make possible the financing of Levi’s Stadium.
In addition, the LA-Orange County-Inland Empire area is the second-largest media market in the country, and as a result, revenues from the sale of naming rights, advertising, and sponsorships will be significantly larger than they would be in San Diego. Taken together, simple economic realities make a financing reliant solely on stadium-generated revenues possible in a large market such as Los Angeles.
Unfortunately, we do not have the same economic reality in San Diego; if we did, a new stadium in San Diego would have already been built.
