The entire Los Angeles region seems to be under construction. From North Hollywood to downtown, from the Miracle Mile to San Pedro, the place is under one giant transformation. Perhaps a reflection of the economy, or more a mad push toward the maximum “I’m ready for my close-up” potential in time for the 2028 Olympics, L.A. is a crane manufacturer’s dream right now.

While 2028 is still a decade away, 2020 in Inglewood is seemingly just tomorrow as far as many are concerned, for that’s when the new football stadium that will be home to both the Rams and the Chargers will officially open its doors. Originally planned to debut for the 2019 NFL season, construction slowed during last year’s massive rainy season.

In any case, it won’t be long before bombs will be thrown, touchdowns will be celebrated and draft beers will sell, even at $15 a pop.

While the most affordable views might be from your airplane seat as you fly into LAX, for now you can enjoy this free angle from Hollywood Park’s parking structure.

The new stadium is surely going to be a special place, even if most Angelenos will need a bank loan or a winning lottery ticket to afford a decent seat. I’m counting on the latter so that I won’t only have a chance to catch the action live just as the flight attendant tells me its time to put my seat into the upright position. Otherwise, like most football fans in the Southland, I’ll be viewing the games in my den on my widescreen, which isn’t quite as wide as the 120 yards long video behemoth planned for Stan Kronke’s future NFL playground.
