So AEG has unveiled images of their vision of Farmer’s Field in Los Angeles. Here are the highlights:
- It will sit right next to the Staples Center and Nokia Theater within the LA Live area.
- Most of it will be made out of translucent material.
- If building started in February 2013, it would be completed in September 2016.
- Cost would be near $1.1 Billion.
- An attachment to the Convention Center would be provided overlooking Pico Blvd.
- It’s meant to house both indoor and outdoor activities, conventions, and events.
- Rather than have a retractable roof, they have opted for a “Deployable Roof” that is said to take mere hours to set up. The roof would be stored underneath the arena.
“Designing a world-class large scale venue, capable of creating the perfect environment to host both indoor and outdoor events, goes far beyond the retractable roof solutions of the past…Our charge is not only to design a stadium that offers the ideal outdoor NFL experience but also to have a fully enclosable facility that creates an equally appealing location and atmosphere for indoor events and conventions.”
So, whether you live in LA or not, what are your thoughts?

The exterior of the building is covered with planks of old Tyrolian wood that in part jut out over the openings in the façade.
11/06/11: Julio Jones Break Out Day
So far, in 20 minutes vs. the Colts today, Jones has two grabs. The first, a ridiculous 50 yd catch, the other an 80 yarder.
(he is murdering my Fantasy team in the process…as in, murder in the worst degree)
