Rams owner, Stan Kroenke, is aiming to bring his team back to Los Angeles after two decades. Kroenke has already broken ground for the huge stadium on the former site of the Hollywood Park racetrack, which is around an enormous mixed-use development that will include a hotel, housing, office space, retail, and a lake which covers an area of 300 acres.
Kroenke is co-developing the project with Stockbridge Capital Group. Curbed reported that, "If developers get the green light from the league, they say, stadium construction can begin within a couple of weeks." The project was approved about a month just after Kroenke announced it.
The seating area of the stadium will hold 70,240 seats, additional space for 30,000 in standing-room only condition, plus 274 suites and 16,300 premium suites.
As the stadium is just a mile of a future Crenshaw Line rail stop, it is located also on "the most parking-rich location in the Los Angeles basin," agreeing to the development manager of Hollywood Park and Co. That means that there are 9,000 on-site parking spaces around the area, and will include 1,000 more spaces reserved underneath the stadium for VIPs.
An additional 3,000 spaces at the neighboring Forum, and another 41,000 more parking spaces within the area of a mile and a half from the stadium is available. According to the Rams, the stadium should be ready in 2019.
The CS Monitor reported that Stan Kroenke has plans to build an 80,000-seat stadium in Inglewood in Los Angeles County. The Rams owner has partnered with Stockbridge Capital Group, which owns Hollywood Park and the nearly 300-acre land that will be used as the site of the stadium.
Kroenke's plans will bring an NFL stadium back to Los Angeles after many years, and he is the first to get involved in a piece of land big enough for a stadium with parking areas.
