I guess....if they're already booking stuff they must be fairly confident.

The Rams were smart and didn’t go with a labor intensive and expensive retractable roof that has delays like Atlanta or Indianapolis.

You forgot the Kenny Chesney concert scheduled for August 1st.

They'll be ready for the Stadium itself. However, it's gonna be surrounded by construction and lack of fit and finish for several years after.

And may take longer for parking lot trees...

Actually looks like they are really pushing parking lots so we wont be parking on dirt. I wonder if they will try to get all the other streets done and just have empty lots? Such a large project its going to be different every year for a while which should be pretty fun. If I park on the South side it will be much more fun walking through this development than it is at the Colosseum.

Not having everything done at the start will be annoying. It took the St. Louis Cardinals nearly a decade to get around to really start building Ballpark Village. And what they are doing now is a cluster eff. Or the 4 years of construction around Wrigley Field has been a pain.

I think it's gonna be new and pretty exciting.

For example, they demolished the Sports Arena and built the LAFC stadium next to the Coliseum while the Rams have been back and maybe sometimes i had to walk a little farther than usual to get to the tailgates but it was always exciting to see the progress. I was never annoyed...

Fair point. The towers going up by Busch are cool. Just that for the last few weeks they’ve been working on sewer lines and it stinks, literally.

So I see we can pre sale Kenny Chesney tickets next week. So it begins...
Anyone have any idea though if it will be in the actual stadium or the performance venue? Is that performance venue going to get a different name rather than SoFi? I would think so. If the area outside is American Airlines Plaza I would think the other venue would get yet another name.
I'm just curious as I am not really into him but my coworker is. It will be a little bitter if he gets to experience the stadium before me though.
