The New Orleans Saints are set to open the 2020 calendar of events at SoFi Stadium in a preseason game with the Los Angeles Rams, and the NFL’s new $5 billion venue just passed a big milestone.

Designed around an innovate wrap-around Oculus videoboard, SoFi Stadium is centered on a unique 120-yard display that will display scores, stats, and highlights for fans in attendance. And now it’s up in the air, and anchored into position. That’s an important big step towards putting the finishing touches on the stadium and, one day soon, opening doors to fans.

See it for yourself:

The Rams will share this venue with the Los Angeles Chargers, in much the same way as the New York Jets split rent with the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. Check out the Oculus videobard from a few different angles:

The exact date of the preseason kickoff between the Saints and Rams at SoFi Stadium is unclear, but it’ll take place some time between August 13-17 (depending on NFL national broadcast rules, which will be determined later). So stay tuned for details as the 2020 NFL season inches closer.
