The Rams should hire these engineers to FIX THE HORNS ON THE HELMET!!! 🇺🇸

[@edwardalexander2492]

Those horns remind me of a 'crescent moon' 🌙

[@JoseNavarro-gd9sb]

😂

[@otherworld11]

why did they tinker with that!!!! that old helmet was the best in the NFL.

If there is no breeze, it’s turns into a sauna. I was at today’s game. 90F n the humidity was disgusting in there.

[@chrismorris9418]

I’ve been saying this since preseason but I don’t get much traction ha. The roof seems to intensify the sun not provide protection from it.

[@97934VDG]

I went to the chargers Rams preseason game and it was awesome! I actually was cold because of the breeze… but the cardinal game at 1…never again will I go to a warm day game there

[@brolee500]

But, why did patrons complain about the heat in Bills vs Rams......Raiders vs Chargers in that stadium?......why then was the air stagnant? And panels not opened.?

[@RamsHouse102]

Truly an amazing stadium to say the least

[@seanlauer2399]

Sofi Stadium is TRULY a MASTERPIECE

[@NotTheBot]

The breeze going through the stadium was so perfect. Bright sunny day to evening in warm LA September was completely comfortable in the packed house. Great design work! Thank you!

The roof LEAKS. I went to the Billy Joel / Stevie Nicks concert there last year, and it was raining hard during much of the concert. The roof was leaking in multiple places throughout the stadium.

My 🐏 will win the Superbowl in their beautiful 🏟 this year

I love you very much beautiful song
Are you okay tour football

[@shaolinman]

With certain parts of the roof opened and with the ocean breeze flowing through the sides, there is no need for HVAC. It is truly an indoor/outdoor stadium that you can smell the ocean breeze six miles away.

[@hello-vs4me]

Thanks 😊

[@littlesame]

I love our stadium, especially working with our climate change and sustainability was amazing 💙💛

[@paigedavis8761]

Typical dumb California thought process 🙄 Went to a game at 1PM, had to take my sister to the hospital for heat stroke. It felt like a greenhouse in there.

[@toddmanger7194]

I forget that this is a stadium where the chargers play in. Definitely rams house, and that’s coming from an eagles fan.

[@TanEbear]

About to go to a game in this rain...roof is a yes for tonight

[@Clodrock]

Hey Santa Clara Niners... THIS is how you build a stadium!!!

[@andreawhite7375]

That’s why that stadium should be ours and ours only, we paid for it all, we’re the team with all the fans. Not the Chargers. Get out of OUR stadium.

[@tom20152]

no rain, no snow, and no bad weather in LA, why roof is needed.

[@hollybrackeen9759]

😊

[@DavonA11]

Being at the stadium was great

[@arinka1018]

Amazing Design! I am here now looking at the roof! Wow

[@kaybyrne6014]

Amazing! So did the designers allow for the panels to open during optimal weather?

[@andyhornhornhorn]

Has to be the best sports stadium in the world. I wonder what design could possibly beat that in the future?
