Complete mine A short tour of Southern California This afternoon, my wife and I visited the beautiful new home of the Los Angeles Rams and another team squatting there. That is, SoFi Stadium.
SoFi cost Rams owner Stan Kroenke a modest five Billion — Yes, that is one billion — U.S. dollars. For something that is essentially a large concrete oblique ellipse, this seems to be a huge sum of money, but after visiting this place, it is easy to understand why its price is so amazing.
The stadium is large and compact, with each deck (all five) tilted sharply, so not only can you easily see the people sitting in front of you, but you also feel as if you are at the top of the action. Who are you.
SoFi is not the most reasonable facility. My father once joked that the main characteristic of my mother is that she has no sense of direction and might get lost in the elevator. At SoFi, you might actually get lost in the elevator because our tour guide shyly admitted that he did it the next day at work. A little bit easier, he let us understand how the facility switched the identity from the Rams to the charger, and vice versa: vigorously cleaned the end zone and midfield signs, then repainted them and brought out the large blower to speed up the drying process. This will be tested in the upcoming season, when the Rams will play their home games on Sunday, and the Chargers will host a Monday night football game the next night. Players from both teams will be instructed to stay focused, play the game and avoid all wet paint signs.
Since luxury suites are where the stadium makes money, SoFi is full of them. The tour went through four different suites and/or clubs at different levels of the stadium. The actual rooms and furniture are surprisingly practical. Good, but not immersed in high-level dating. Everyone’s favorite athlete LeBron James has a suite, although he has to share it with Bugs Bunny every time he turns right in Albuquerque.
This trip usually includes a stroll in the Rams locker room, but since it is used for rookie meetings today, we enter the Chargers locker room instead. I was surprised by its somewhat compact nature, and the room is made up of multiple angles, so probably players can hide from each other. The actual lockers are not lockers at all, but essentially small compartments. The shower is located in a corridor separate from the dressing room, so players can get a little privacy when they need it.
Considering that the stadium is 500 feet away from the active fault line and is directly in the flight mode of Los Angeles International Airport, appropriate adjustments are needed, which will help increase the cost of the stadium. In order to reduce the height of the stadium so as not to leave tire marks on the roof, the entire structure was buried a hundred feet below the surface. Whenever the Broncos enter the city, this is an advantage for the Chargers, because Denver players will feel suffocated by the heavy air. If the above seismic fault clears its throat, in the hope of keeping things intact, the three main components of the stadium—the bowl, the roof, and the outer wall/structure—are built independently of each other, so that when the shaking starts, each part will Move separately from the other two parts. However, when Aaron Donald places the opposing quarterback on the artificial turf, there is no guarantee that those present will not tremble.
Ah yes, the roof. It is the largest structure in the world without internal support because it is completely supported by columns along the edges. Although there are multiple panels that can be opened to allow smoke to enter, it is not retractable. It contains an LED display, the purpose of which is to allow people flying into the night of LAX to be dazzled by the light show. The real reason is that a huge arrow is there along with the airport and can be shown to the dizzy pilots, otherwise they might mistake the parking lot lights for the lights on the runway.
The scoreboard must be mentioned. In a word, it’s crazy. A huge oval hanging from the roof, full of LEDs inside and out, is almost a good thing, and may distract fans on the upper deck. Said fans are also known as people who watch the game live, and everyone in the first three levels is busy watching and being watched and has no time to pay attention to sports events.
You have it.For those of us, even though the alliance has try my best In order to drive us away, SoFi Stadium is the crown jewel of the stadium. The former fans will not care, but it is still an impressive structure.
