Looks like a glass and metal origami roof, that can open and close. Large circular video screen just below the lip of the roof. After seeing this one, Jerry Jones will be wanting a new stadium. http://mercedesbenzstadium.com/mercedes-benz-stadium/

Sky box money, and you have to have an experience beyond football for fans to show up. High Def TV- beats high ticket prices and traffic. Tough to get asses in all the seats.
In articles on the Chargers, once you fill the sky boxes, the tv money takes care of the rest. Owners not so worried about the LA locals buying tickets for the rest of the seats. Maybe one day the rest of the crowd can be computer generated. They can try that at any Pitt game.Well then, high def tv will definitely beat these new prices even more.
1.5 billion is a bargain compared to what they have paid in cali.No doubt it looks nice but $1.5 Billion (!) (projected) for a stadium that works just as well as the Georgia Dome but with a few more skyboxes/ bars? The circular scoreboard won't be viewable by a lot of the stadium. Capacity of 75,000 is pretty much unchanged. Public spending $600 million. Personal seat licenses up to $45,000 per seat. Most expensive tickets $385 per game. Jerry world is becoming obsolete.

It is obscene.I haven't kept up with the Rams/ Chargers new stadium. What's the cost there?
EDIT-
Just looked up the LA stadium info. 2.6 Billion (!!!) for an 80,000 seat stadium. Just unreal.
Yep. Even Levi Stadium (49ers) was 1.4 billion and that place is not filled with a ton of bells and whistles. 1.5 billion for a state of the art dome isn't too bad. Although, the Vikings did theirs for just under 1.2 billion. They do not have a retractable roof though.I haven't kept up with the Rams/ Chargers new stadium. What's the cost there?

I agree. I think having two teams in LA is a mistake. At least the Rams have a history in the city and will likely be the preferred team. The Chargers cemented their place as the redheaded step child.Chargers will be a gigantic failure in LA. They will have hardly any fans and will be leasing the Rams stadium. Plus add in the fact that Spanish is a moron and they can't put together a competitive team.

Arthur Blank is worth $3.1 Billion dollars. Why should any city subsidize a stadium for him?Yep. In Inglewood. Isn't that like the North Philly of LA?

Inglewood is not the nicest part of LA. But I don't think it would be fair to compare it to North Philly.
Try the PSU BOT....I'd like to find out. Anyone have a spare $600 million to give me?

What a country
The "folks" are extorted out of $600,000,000 to line the pockets of ego-maniacal billionaires
Yeah, team!!!!!!!

Here in PA, they can be bought for a few grand - - - - just ask Lubert and Dambly
Hell, they bought their "comrades" on the BOT for less than that - - - - - just allow THOSE assholes to chant "409" a couple of times, and they will unanimously elect Stalin and Hitler to the Chairmanship of the BOT
Laugh? Or, Cry?
Buy out that miserable boob Tom McAndrew.How many worthwhile things could you do with $600 million?
They would have been better off moving to Salt Lake City or Las Vegas, IMO. Last night they showed the new Charges logo and a Charges player on the jumbo tron at the Lakers/Clippers game and it resulted in a chorus of boos. Good luck being relavant in a city that hates you from day one.Inglewood is a somewhat large area. Some parts are better/worse than others. I definitely wouldn't choose to live there. I lived in downtown Philly for 5 years. I don't think Inglewood as a whole measures up to North Philly (which is one of the worst areas I have been to...Camden being another).
I am not a Chargers fan at all. Grew up in PA. People out here seem to be very tired of the Chargers and their mediocrity in good years and putridness in the majority of years. I would be very surprised if many SD residents drove to LA to support the Chargers.
I get why the Chargers didn't want to stay in Qualcomm. But I don't really understand why they expected the public to pay for their stadium.
SD is a great place to live and really ought to have a NFL team. Sad that it won't...at least not for the foreseeable future
