They must mean we got 60 days worth in 15 days.

I still call BS on the rain delay thing being the main reason. Ever heard of pumps?

It may not be an only reason but I am rather confident it is a reason.

My experience has been with two of my personal home builds the issue is water saturation, not "pools" of water. And both my homes were delayed because of excavation. Tough to move mud around properly. And thats a fact.

This is where I'm at with it. I can think of worse things than an extra year at the Coliseum.

Been going to Coli since 1974 for USC and LA Rams games. Cant stand the place at this point and the USC "upgrade" project is pathetic. Ive ditched my USC tickets. I purchased LA Rams season tickets mostly as a placeholder for new stadium. I did renew for 2017. This delay does bother me because its more money for seats I really dont want in 2019. However, I do admit that if the team starts to win and becomes a legitimate playoff contender, it wont matter as much.

I also hope the Rams switch Unis ASAP as Im not a fan of this current StL/60s Rams hybrid.

Once you buy PSL's later this Fall, you won't have to renew your season tickets at the Coliseum for 2018 and 2019.

Those have been my thoughts as well.

The key words are "have to". ;)

NFL miffed about L.A. stadium delay, some owners not buying El Nino story

Owners in cold-weather cities are skeptical that heavy rains could cause a two-month delay

Jason La Canfora

There was plenty of chatter at the recently-completed NFL owners meetings in Chicago, as expected, about the announcement from late last week that the Rams' and Chargers' new stadium in Inglewood would be delayed by a year and unable to open for the 2019 season, as expected. Sources told me the NFL was a bit miffed about this, especially given how much work was done behind the scenes to help get these franchises to L.A. and then bestowing them with a Super Bowl on top of that.

The decision not to waive the statute that a stadium must be operational for at least two years before it can host a Super Bowl was seen as a no-brainer -- especially with Inglewood already well behind schedule -- and there was abundant support for moving back the Super Bowl awarded to Los Angeles until after the 2021 season.

The Rams informed the league and the other owners at the meeting that they are currently seven-and-a-half weeks behind schedule on the stadium and blamed the unusually rainy weather in Southern California for the delays. That continues to be met with skepticism by others in the NFL, especially those cold-weather teams who have already constructed stadiums on time in the past decade or two.

"It has to be something else," one NFL exec said. "You're behind eight weeks because of rain and there is no way you can make that up over the next two-plus years? You don't already have some of those contingencies built in? El Nino? That's the story they're sticking with, but we aren't buying it. I think it was probably always am ambitious date from the start and one they probably couldn't hit, but I could see why they would initially want that target out there."

Some other clubs are wondering if the Chargers will really play three full seasons in StubHub Center, given that it currently seats just 27,000 people, and are surmising that in 2019 both the Chargers and Rams will be in the Los Angeles Coliseum as they try to get their fan bases ready for the launch of the new facility in 2020.
