Delay in opening of Rams' and Chargers' new home due to record rainfall in Los Angeles affecting construction
The Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers will have to wait longer than expected to move into their new digs.
The Inglewood stadium, scheduled to be completed by 2019 and house the recently relocated Rams and Chargers, will be delayed one year and should be ready for the start of the 2020 NFL season, the teams announced Thursday in an e-mail to fans.
The delay is due to record-setting rainfall from January through March in the Los Angeles area, per the Chargers.
The Rams and Chargers will play at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and StubHub Center, respectively, through the 2019 season, per The Los Angeles Times.
