RIPPA Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Chargers and Rams stadium delayed a year until 2020 Quote According to Sam Farmer and Nathan Fenno of the Los Angeles Times, the opening of the shared NFL stadium in Inglewood has been delayed by a year because of rain. The $2.6 billion stadium was supposed to open for both teams in 2019, but record rainfalls during the excavation for the building pushed back the schedule. “The continuing rains really knocked us for a loop,” Bob Aylesworth, principal in charge of the project said. “It was a very unforgiving two months for the project. And speaking from a building perspective, it really couldn’t have come at a worse time.” The area received 15.4 inches of rain from November (when they broke ground) to February, which is double the normal amount. Rams chief operating officer Kevin Demoff said if only one team were playing there, there’s a chance it could have been ready for at least parts of 2019, but they decided to push the whole timeline back a year. The Rams will remain at the Coliseum in 2019, as their original lease had an option for that already. The Chargers will play another year in the 30,000-seat StubHub Center in Carson. The stadium is scheduled to host the Super Bowl in February 2021, and league rules have said a new building can’t host the game in its first year.

Gonzo Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 On 5/18/2017 at 10:52 AM, RIPPA said: Chargers and Rams stadium delayed a year until 2020 They now each apparently have to "host" a 2019 International Series game as a result of this, because any team playing in a "temporary stadium" has to host an international game. I guess the Vikings got out of that because they hosted an international game in 2013, the year before they moved into TCF Bank Stadium for two years while U.S. Bank Stadium was being built.

Dolfan in NYC Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The NFL has announced that touchdown celebrations are nice and legal again. The ball may be used as a prop again. Celebrations may happen on the ground. And group celebrations are A-OK. http://deadspin.com/humorless-butthole-roger-goodell-concludes-that-fun-is-1795475113 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I turned on Deadspin pretty hard when Why Your Team Sucks veered hard away from good football comedy into "LOL REDNECKS AND PEE" every third line. Plus the Vikings fan that wrote it asked Packers fans to kill themselves because he couldn't come up with a real punchline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 The LA experiment is already doomed, isn't it? And this time, they'll have to find new homes for two teams. Lol. It's only an attractive market if they'll actually support your product. Oh, well. Better luck in 2031 when the... um.... Steelers and Patriots... relocate to LA.

The '23 Super Bowl bidding process is going to be a complete farce, because Las Vegas and the shiny new Raiders stadium is an absolute mortal lock to get it.

Lol. It's only an attractive market if they'll actually support your product. Oh, well. Better luck in 2031 when the... um.... Steelers and Patriots... relocate to LA. It was doomed long before these stadium issues - the best is that the cause for the delay was because of record rainfall - something that it really seems like you could have been prepared for and not cost an entire year delay of a new stadium. That being said - I'm pretty shocked at the crowds the Rams were continuing to draw in the Colosseum last year. While the enthusiasm for the team(s) doesn't exist, the desire for live football is definitely there. And by the time people lose interest, the shiny new stadium will draw them in again. So that should buy the Rams & Chargers around a decade - but yea... then they're fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pats starting QB in 2031 will either be a 25-year-old clone of Tom Brady or Brady in a shiny new robot body. The biggest change will be Bill Belichick. He'll still be coaching the Pats, but he'll be a head in a jar (Futurama-style). "The Dome" will guide the Patriots to 76 more championships through 2130.

Dewar Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Gronk's tax breaks would be on alcohol and Monster Energy drinks. Actual tax breaks that the middle class would benefit from. I hate the Patriots, and don't live in America, but I would volunteer to be an intern to the Secretary of Cocktail Parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Getting back to other stupid football related things Spiking the ball over the goal posts is still banned as it is considered a prop and the potential of delaying the game (still looking at you Jimmy Graham) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
