Los Angeles Rams reveal first full look at sweeping Inglewood stadium roof
New renderings have emerged of the recently commissioned stadium of National Football League (NFL) franchise the Los Angeles Rams, which features a vast swooping roof designed by architects HKS.
In January 2016 the team – formerly known as the St Louis Rams – was granted NFL permission to relocate from Missouri to LA, where it played before 1995.
The Rams will begin playing at their new US$1.86bn (£1.3bn, €1.69bn) stadium in Hollywood Park, Inglewood in 2019.
The 80,000-capacity ground will form part of a new mixed-use development which also features a hotel, retail space, a possible branch of the NFL Hall of Fame and a man-made lake.
The new renderings, published on the Rams’ website, give a first hint at the scale of the lightweight, semi-transparent roof, which will be twice the size of the arena it covers.
They also reveal the lake and a tree-lined public park surrounding the ground’s perimeter.
In moving to Los Angeles, the Rams turned down US$150m (£103.7m, €138.6m) of public money from Missouri to build a US$1.1m (£760.5m, €1bn) development in St Louis.
Owner of the franchise, Stan Kroenke, said the deal had been “multi-years in the making”, but added that the move from the Missouri city would be “bittersweet” due to opposition from some of the team’s fans.
