HomeDepot Center 01-03 Construction Pictures Looks like they already starting to put the roof together and the seats are already going in. LARIOTSQUAD
The most important part of those pics is that the sky looks blue and the smog looks minimal, if not non-existent. More to the point, that stadium looks like it's going to be a killer.
It's really starting to come together. I'm so jealous!! Next time I'm in California I have to check it out.
I was just going to suggest that that would be awesome, but seeing as how it is the National Training Center, I don't think it'll happen. The next stadium needs to do this. And yes, the stadium is looking hella cool
The stadium club looks like it will be a great place. Lamar should reconfigure the south end of Crew Stadium with something similar.
looks great...might just have to make a trip out there. when i pull in my first few million <when i win the damn lottery!> i am going to have to donate a few million to get a roof put on CCS and upgrade the damn seats, it would make that place much better...
You are from SoCal flash - how much smog is there typically in the middle of the winter, not much. It is going to be smoggy and dirty come summertime, as it always is. And that area is typically worse than most others. The farther you are from the hills and the ocean the crappier the air quality is. james
It's very hard to find a day that looks smoggy in the LA area in winter. Also, often there are days when what we call haze is confussed by some as being smog. It's just moisture in the air from the sea. Smog has decreased a lot in recent years and is much less than 20-30 years ago despite population growth because of the strong measures taken to deal with it and the catalitic (sp?) convertor for cars. The area where the stadium is going to be is even less subject to smog than the valleys or the areas out by San Bernardino. You can have beautiful blue days here all year round. The most likely period for any smoggie looking days is late summer and early fall but it will never be much a problem where the stadium is. At least from the perspective of someone here. http://www.transportationca.org/research/cleaner_air.shtml Here's something from an article: "Fifty years later, smog levels in the Los Angeles Basin have decreased substantially. Even as the population has tripled since 1950, the air is only one-third as polluted. Perhaps outlawing trash burning and strict limitations on factory emissions has led to this healthy change. Catalytic converters and computerized engine controls, along with the introduction of electric cars, also contribute to the improvement. However, the quest for clean air is by no means over. Even as 1999 was the first year in more than a half century that the entire basin has not experienced a full-scale smog alert."
Bingo, I live in the Inland Empire (where the horrible smog is), and I've driven down the Cajon Pass (either coming back from the High Desert or Las Vegas) and I can't believe what I see when the smog is bad, it's just a huge brown layer. At least we have great weather, except for those 100 mph winds out here a week ago.
6/7 I would love to be there on June 7th to see the first home match... any ideas when tickets go on sale?
Ticket Info. I just called it is likely that individual tickets, if available at all... will go on sale in April. The suggestion was to utilize the 5 game mini plan but there was no info. on that yet. Just thought I would share...
Re: Ticket Info. When you say they said "if available at all" where they implying that season ticket sales were going so well that they may sell them all out or that the opening day tickets may be given to so many "special people" that there will be none available for the general public? That needs clarification! Thanks..
LOOKING GOOD! Was or is this stadium suppose to be the blueprint for the one they are going to build in Rochester for the Rhinos? LA is looking good for their new stadium. All the seats are going to be either a dark or that teal green. Maybe they should have put the Yellow stripe across the middle of the seats and make it go all the way around.
The stadium looks nice. I can only imagine what it would be like if all the teams had places like this to play in. I'm 21 so maybe I'll be alive when and if this happens. -VON
Re: Re: Ticket Info. I think that season ticket holders get first crack at tix and as a season ticket holder, I'll be bringing about 10 people in addition to myself, since it will pretty much a day that will go down in the history books for American soccer. If you have trouble getting tix, feel free to PM me - - I'll be happy to sell you some tickets at a 300% markup. Topper
This is the best info at this point from the Galaxy office.. May be off by 1k at most. This year.. 22K but as many as 24K depending on use of bleachers when needed at the unused end of the stadium. The unused end will eventually have permanent seating bringing capacity to 27K..
