I was generalizing and realize that I can see where 100% it is not true 100% east and 100% west. And neither is Century Blvd. I know that sounds argumentative but I am just saying as it is.

The coast can be deceptive . Orange County airport runways are much closer to North/South than East/West. I know many would argue that but it the absolute truth.

The stadium will certainly by measurements lean more toward true northwest than west. As the year goes on the sun will slowly begin setting more to the north than it does in the summer. Therefore when we play football at the stadium the shadows will certainly change. Those who are on the home side of the Rams at the Coliseum know how later in the season many seats become shade protected when they were not in August. Two reasons. One, the sun moves south towards the winter solstice and two, the time change.

I am one of those seat holders in sun to shade.

Away from that, any seat in the Stadium RAMS HOUSE is going to be a good seat IMO.

We really will never know with an absolute until they finish the Palace and we see and feel a season. We are all guessing but those with an educated guess may fair better. Or may not. 8-)

GO RAMS!!!

I hope they got the sun/shade alignment right at Inglewood. Some of those late afternoon games in November and December at Jerruh's World in Arlington are absolutely brutal.

Chargers sideline is the Southwest side. That's 105-118. It's the left side on that diagram.

Chargers will be in the shade. Rams will be on TV.

I am a tad bitter because I got 116, but I wanted 225, which would have gotten shade for September games. My lady doesn't care about the sun (black don't crack). She wants to be closer to the field.

The stadium certainly goes NW to SE from what I can see.

I too believe that the Rams chose the side to be on with great thought. There may be something that is not obvious to us that will when we are able to see the place first hand. But it looks like the Rams sideline is on the sunny side vs the other.

I too agree that this stadium has many elements to it that makes it too unique to second guess.

My seats are behind the bench and up a bit in the middle of the field. The canopy is almost impossible to know its exact effects with shadowing and filtering of sunlight.

I would believe it would be judged an epic failure if there was discomfort for the home side of the field. Which leads me to believe more than enough thought has been given to this important element.

Congrats Dan. Rocking dead center..



BTW love that photo of the stadium. It's really taking shape. And you can even see Santa Catalina Island in the back round.

Using some aviation math compared to landing at LAX with its courses on final being about 250 degrees to magnetic north and applying the correction for true north brings it to 260 degrees then just a plain look at all the pics I can see where a conservative consideration for the stadium being NW to SW for purchasing tickets would be wise if the sun is a player for some. (AV Geek off) It is for me.

Right now I am scheduled for one landing at LAX between now and the end of next month. And its a night landing. I am curious with the height of the stadium now and this time of year of how the shadows are playing out.

I would be interested to hear if anyone has any of these answers to this question.

As with others have or may have said, I too am hoping this is all moot for all.

GO RAMS!!!

Anybody else get emails regarding their booking appointment for premier/reserved seats? Also, how long was the window if you already got it? Not sure how the waves work because I was in the first wave the first time for vip/club, but I'm still waiting for my invite this go-round :( I'm anxiously waiting!

Since I already have two seats in new stadium, I was contacted by my rep and was able to get two non VIP seats before they went on sale to the public. Got section 545 row 2.

Received an email this morning to select seats. All done over the phone and computer. I was able to get the last 2 seats in row 1, section 347. Premier 10K SSL (Orange). I didn't like view from the light blue 7.5K seats and couldn't pass up this front row opportunity. GO RAMS!!!
