The league spent an extra $3 million to redesign elements and install a cutting-edge air filtration system, “touchless” doors and faucets, plexiglass barriers, and, in the employee cafeteria, an extra chef station instead of a salad bar.ĭespite the challenges, the NFL faced a hard deadline to finish its project before Thursday’s regular season kickoff. The two-year construction was complicated by the coronavirus pandemic.
NFL executives declined to disclose the cost of building the new complex, but Jurenka acknowledged it was “hundreds of millions of dollars.” “This facility was designed for the world that we are in now, and what we think the world will look like in the future,” said David Jurenka, NFL Los Angeles general manager and NFL Media senior vice president. The complex, which opens Wednesday, also includes a podcast studio and a camera-ready newsroom. The stage features 360-degree camera views, a catwalk for talent and a revolving neon red-white-and-blue NFL logo - hauled in from Nashville after the 2019 NFL Draft. There are five soundstages, including a 5,970-square-foot space for NFL Network’s “Total Access” and “GameDay” shows. Its control room is anchored by a 12-foot wall of high-definition screens that can simultaneously display 253 different video feeds, including shots from the 30 NFL stadiums. The NFL’s new West Coast home, part of Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke’s $5-billion, 298-acre Hollywood Park mixed-use development, boasts the latest in technology.
