Latest new designs released for a proposed NFL stadium in the
Los Angeles area include simulated lightning bolts for the San Diego Chargers
and a flame honoring late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis.
The thoroughly revamped plans for the $1.7 billion joint stadium
proposal by the two teams came just two months after the project and an initial
set of designs were first announced after it received approval from the Carson
City Council.
The designs were presented in New York this week to NFL
Commissioner Roger Goodell and the league's committee on possibly relocating a
team to greater Los Angeles.
The flowing, metallic modern stadium design features a
horseshoe-shaped seating arrangement that is open on one end.
Another stadium project, whose plans are much further along, is
underway in nearby Inglewood and has St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke as a
partner.
Under NFL rules, the next opportunity for a team to file to
relocate to either stadium would be in January. The move would have to clear a
tangle of league hurdles, including getting support from at least 24 of the 32
teams.
