SoFi Stadium construction on course, but completion date not assured

Construction continues on SoFi Stadium — shown on March 19 — in Inglewood, where the Rams and Chargers will be playing. Kevin Demoff, Rams chief operating officer, said Thursday he’s optimistic SoFi Stadium will be finished on schedule for this NFL season, but left open the possibility that the COVID-19 pandemic could impede construction. “ The $5-billion stadium in Inglewood is scheduled to open July 25 with a Taylor Swift concert, followed by the Rams and Chargers moving into their new home venue. “Our stadium, and I believe the Raiders’ stadium as well, will both be amazing when they are finished and when they will begin play, which will certainly happen in the near future, whether that’s in July, August, September, in 2021,” Demoff said. Jeff Pash, general counsel for the NFL, echoed Demoff in saying the league is optimistic about the construction schedules but left wiggle room on both the Inglewood and Las Vegas venues.
