In just over two weeks from now, the Rams will be taking the field for their last home game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum – barring a playoff miracle. Next summer, they’ll be moving into their new home in Inglewood, which has since been named SoFi Stadium.
Construction is coming along well and progress is being made at a fairly rapid rate with the roof nearly finished and seats installed inside. One of the best features of the stadium is the video board that hovers above, which has been nicknamed the “Oculus.”
The roof is still coming together, but the Oculus is also under construction inside the stadium. John Kay shared a video of the stadium recently, which features photos of the Oculus.
And here’s a drone video of the stadium and scoreboard, which can be seen from directly above.
SoFi Stadium will open for its first event in July when Taylor Swift performs two shows there. While there is still plenty of work to be done, it’s easy to see how magnificent the stadium will be once it’s complete.

The Rams know which teams they’ll host at SoFi Stadium in 2020, and there are a few strong candidates to play in the home opener. The Cowboys and Patriots would be outstanding opponents for the Rams in their first game at the new stadium next year, as would a rival such as the Seahawks or 49ers.
