The NFL will welcome two new stadiums to the mix in 2020 with the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers, and the Las Vegas Raiders both getting new homes. SoFi Stadium is where the Rams and Chargers will play, and it’s set to open in July for a Taylor Swift concert and eventually the 2020 NFL season.
It’s been a long road to this point, but the stadium is now more than 85% done. The Oculus scoreboard is being built, the roof panels are being installed and the finishing touches are coming together.
The stadium’s Twitter account released a video of it going from nothing to 85% completed, and the progress made is stunning.

The stadium was supposed to open in 2019, but it was delayed a year. It’ll eventually host a Super Bowl, 2028 Olympic events and a national championship game, among others, and be the center of Hollywood Park.
Construction on the surrounding area will continue for quite a while, including a hotel, NFL offices and more.
