Maxman Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I was looking forward to taking a trip out there this season to see the stadium. So unlikely now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets visit both the Rams and Chargers in that stadium. We've got several months until those games so I'm not closing the door quite yet but the current situation obviously has to improve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxgreen Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Spanos played that perfectly. Got a sweet deal as co-tenant because the Rans needed somebody for the move. Also has "Silent Stan" incur the higher percentage of the costs for the stadium. Then drafted a potential QB with a huge built in SoCal fan base. There are a ton of UO grads who will come out to see Herbert even if they aren't lifelong Chargers fans. For a franchise who were the laughing stock a couple of years ago... they seemed to be playing chess and not checkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcat Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 As nice as it looks, this stadium is a fiscal nightmare. How bad is it? Budgeted at $2.2 billion back in 2016, the actual overall cost will be between 5 and 6 billion dollars. It makes the economics of MetLife look like a great deal. Report: Rams seeking up to $500 million in additional stadium financing Posted by Charean Williams on May 14, 2020, 4:01 PM EDT Getty Images The Rams need more financing for SoFi Stadium, which has a price tag that keeps rising. According to Daniel Kaplan of TheAthletic.com, the Rams’ request for up to $500 million in additional NFL stadium financing and additional time to pay it back is on the agenda for next week’s virtual owners meeting. The request is on top of the $400 million the Rams already borrowed from the league’s stadium lending program. The team also wants to pay the loan back over 30 years rather than the typical 15 years. The stadium has seen cost overruns and slower than expected personal seat license sales, per Kaplan, and all teams anticipate lost ticket revenue this fall. The price tag of the stadium, which the Chargers will share, was $2.2 billion when owners approved the Rams’ Inglewood, California, proposal in January 2016. The estimated final cost of the stadium, which includes a retail and entertainment district, has ballooned to somewhere between $5 billion and $6 billion, according to Kaplan. Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, which also remains under construction, is the second-most expensive stadium in league history at $1.9 billion. SoFi Stadium is scheduled to open this summer, but it remains to be seen how the COVID-19 pandemic will affect that. NFL owners will vote next week to increase the borrowing limit for all teams from $350 million to $500 million in case games are played without fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crimson King Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Shame they couldn't have scheduled the two LA games two weeks apart late in the year, made more perfect if the bye was between them. Could have made nice bookends to a superb parks trip. Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Anza-Borrego, Valley of Fire, Sequoia/Kings Canyon and many others all in shouting distance. Unfortunately, life rarely schedules itself in a nice neat order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live about 10 minutes from SoFi and was in Vegas right before Covid and saw the Raiders spot. Both are top notch and look incredible. LA’s Oculus is really going to be something else. I am not a big fan of sitting in the nose bleeds at a concert but with a screen like that it might be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High rates of hosts going under out here and most are switching to full rentals (which we recently took full advantage of). High risk of your lodging getting canceled if you book over the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetLife was ridiculously loud in 2010 and 2015, the only decent seasons we’ve had there. It’s not the building. It’s the fans. Same Old Jets Fans don’t make noise except when they’re complaining.

When we're good, somewhat good, and winning its not quieter. It still amazes me that people get this worked up over the razor blade look of the outside of he stadium. Once in your seat, sitting down for the game, theres little difference from one new stadium to another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
