The NFL announced Tuesday that the Los Angeles Rams’ forthcoming Inglewood stadium will host Super Bowl LV in 2021. For anyone paying attention throughout the relocation process and, especially, during the team's relocation announcement, that news didn't come as a surprise.
That's because Rams' owner Stan Kroenke's $2.6 billion stadium and development project will become the most lavish stadium project in North American sports the day it opens. Tuesday's Super Bowl announcement was a mere formality, but perhaps more important, it's also all but certain to be just the first of many such declarations in the coming years.
