Groundbreaking on the stadium is planned for December of this year. The site is being prepared for a 298-acre mixed-use project that could include a football stadium, as well as "1 million square feet of retail space, 1 million square feet of office space, 2,500 housing units, a 6,000-square-foot performing arts theater, movie theaters, open space and a boutique hotel," Inglewood's mayor says. Not audible in the video are the football fans who were reportedly chanting "LA Rams" as the venue collapsed on itself. The big bang took place on 6 am on Sunday (apparently to reduce disruptions in the neighboring areas), and a rapid succession of explosions felled the stands in under 30 seconds, a video from the event shows. The demise of Inglewood's Hollywood Park Racetrack has been looming for years now (racing ended in 2013), but yesterday morning it really happened: Hollywood Park's grandstands were demolished, says the Daily Breeze, to clear the way for a new NFL stadium.
