SoFi Stadium doesn't have AC and there's a heat wave
 

A domed stadium that has to delay games during thunderstorms and doesn't have AC.


California.

$5 billion stadium and they don't have AC.

Good,

Dumb ****ing people deserve dumb ****ing prizes. Some check the schedule when are we there?

Really poorly designed stadium. There's some serious corrupt people that made money off this monstrosity

In B4 DC.

LMAO dumbassery

Maybe Aaron Donald can fan people with a helmet.


But in all seriousness, did everyone read the article? It seems to indicate that they use passive cooling techniques.

Wait,

Are you trying to say the headline was misleading?!?! WHAT KIND OF WORLD DO WE LIVE IN!

GO RAMS

The temp at kick off is like 84 degrees. I think they will be fine and sell more beer.

I feel like I should notify someone at Fox Weather. I'm sure they don't want to produce slanted headlines.

They use a breeze from the ocean. Not gonna work when it's 100

Thunderstorms? I've lived in LA for 15 years and heard 2 total thunders in that time, and one of those times turned out to be a space shuttle reentering the atmosphere instead.

And it's been open for two years and I'm sure many people are just now learning it doesn't have A/C... yet it CLEARLY needs A/C for this one time.

And at that point it's like every outdoor stadium in Southern California... hot every once in a while. :shrug:

For 5 billion your stadium should probably have AC

If this doesn't bring Dane out of posting retirement nothing will

This heat wave has sucked shit for sure. I spent most of Sunday at the beach. ****ing fantastic beach weather.

Nah we have to summon him, but the old gods have forbidden such rituals.

But then it would cost $5.3 billion (or whatever) and the cost to run A/C in a stadium is like $15k/day. It's not like they would just throw in a free A/C because they spent so much freakin' money building the thing.

It's like when people bitch about a rear camera being standard on a $20k Toyota, but not on a $60k BMW.... if it was an option on the Toyota, it would be $19,800 without a camera... and if it was standard on the BMW, it would be $60,200.

And guess what... if they spent millions on A/C, people would bitch about wasting money on A/C that's only used once in 2 years.

Chargers fans are unaffected by this due to the fact that they don't exist.

Jaguars look over...

...and laugh at the faux outrage.

Cali is a ****ing shit show of hot ****ing shit.

LMAO
Oh, Rainman...you're cute.

CP is built upon a few principles...one of which is never, ever, reading the article.

Typically when it's hot on the coast it's due to Santa Ana conditions. Meaning the hot air is blowing in from the Deserts traveling over the mountains, compressing and getting hotter as it blows down and out to sea.

Not going to get a cooling effect in that stadium when the wind is blowing out to sea.

Not real hot though, since they almost never have to use A/C.

I had season tickets to their games for a few years when I used to live there and the September and October games were pretty brutal. Guessing it was just as bad or worse in Tampa and Miami.

oh my god you poor guy how did you manage to survive

I want to APOLOGIZE to all the Lounge, I don't know how the DC gimp got out. I will immediately summon Clay to banish him once more.

Yes and I responded. Go back to DC bundle of sticks

Do you do science experiments looking for magnetic sand?

Uh, it is SoFi stadium and California. Explain to us all why we should be surprised or more importantly give a shit.

Lmao, sucks for them. Tomorrow has a forecasted high of 97 and I'm sure the passive cooling doesn't do well in that heat. After Friday it's beautiful weather.

Much of the Miami stadium has shade for the fans, but I don't think Tampa does.

And conditions on/near the coast can really be effected by what type, if any, ocean breeze they get.

As the article on SoFi talks about.

They only need everyone in the state to unplug their electric cars during the game. No big deal.

I read this:

I've seen that bastard sitting in his office...

talking on the phone to the C.E.O.s, spinnin' a ****in' menorah.

I hope the heat draws in a meteor and takes both teams out.

I've lived in LA 22 years. We've had thunder at least once the maybe 4 out of the last 5 years. But yeah maybe 2 times I can think of before that.

Supposedly a storm is coming this Saturday, which never happens this time of year.

Right now it's still and humid. 59% humidity in Redondo Beach where I live. I guess a hurricane is coming to Mexico and we're getting the edge of it.

CA had a record setting heat wave yesterday. Sacramento, for instance, hit 116, the highest temperature for the city ever recorded.

No rolling blackouts.

I'm sure you're terribly disappointed.

FYP

You almost did

Kill shot.

Cosmo go charge your electric car bitch

Not sure why you're all butthurt with me, but I don't have an electric car.

All of this DC animosity over a stadium that's in an amazing climate and has been opened for two years with various summer events that people are just now learning doesn't have A/C because it's going to reach scorching highs in the 90s tomorrow is pretty hilarious in a we aren't going to make it, are we kind of way.

LMAO! Heat wave? Try living in Louisiana! Humidity AND high temperatures! Well the Caesars Dome is well air conditioned and cost WAAAAAYYYYY less! :thumb:

I was walking into a Royals/Dodgers game in LA a few years ago and heard several comments/complaints about how hot and humid it was.... IIRC, it was like 86° with 35% humidity in early July.

They really are spoiled. LMAO

Yes they are! I watch Sam the Cooking Guy on YouTube and he whines about the heat in San Diego! Really? LMAO!

We're practically neighbors bro, go Chiefs!

Gonna be a sick swell!

Thanks I’ll pass

Exactly. High temp in Inglewood, the location of the stadium, is 91 degrees tomorrow. Lots of early season football games are played in 90+ degree weather.

Example of folks that have no clue what they are talking about regarding the climate of Southern California. Inglewood is a few miles from the coast, temperatures are moderated by this big body of water called the Pacific Ocean.

Yeah, a few miles up the 405 in the Valley it's going to be 20 degrees hotter, but SOCAL in general has many micro-climates.

**** California

I didn't realize that while their stadium has a roof, but the sides are completely open (in most areas).

I'm not super updated on stadiums and air conditioning, SHOULD they have AC?? Places like Green Bay and SF( Santa Clara) their stadiums are outdoor and I dont think they have AC either, so they'd be ****ed, no??

I was shocked to hear that AC is not common in many places in California. San Luis Obispo area I know for sure many homes do not have AC built in because it is not necessary most times.

Google says the average high temperature in Inglewood, CA for the months of July and August is 75 and 76 degrees.

I moved out to North County San Diego 35+ years ago from Kansas City and just about every place I've lived doesn't have AC. The first 25 years never had a day that I wish I had it, but the last 10+ we are starting to get hotter and more humid days. I bought a portable AC for sleeping..95+% of the time don't need one though...

Also - went to Sofi a few times...open sides on stadium...no need for AC - it would be like running it at your house and opening all of the windows...

Good for Sac but the rest of the SF Bay Area hasn't been so lucky. Now they are closing schools between 11 and 1:00 to "lessen the load on the system."

We are well aware your state is a shithole

Yeah, A/C is necessary in SoCal for about two weeks out of the year. We just happen to be in those two weeks right now. It's always mid-late August.

We've had many rolling blackouts here in Johnson County, unfortunately. It even ruined dinner a couple times when I was seated at a restaurant.

Agreed, but this really isn't one of the reasons.

What’s wrong with that?

Yeah I don't get it either, my kids are constantly leaving the door open in Houston. I doesn't bother me one bit.........


(Little bastards)

How is that even possible? A shack of a house has air con.

Demons run the Rams franchise, they need it warm in there.

Without air con, Florida would still be a backwater state. It feels like it’s 115 degrees for 5 months out of the year.

In this case it would be more like running AC on your covered patio.

"Passive Cooling System" ...

Is that where they hand out Otter Pops at the gate that you can shove up your ass?

FAX THE CONCERNED

Mr Fax!!!

mmmm....Otter Pops....

Dipped in ass...

Dammit FAX. You should have known that mentioning sticking anything up your ass would summon Billay...

DON'T ****IN' RUIN OTTER POPS

It would have cost another billion :thumb:

AC is one of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind. **** you, SoFi.

The vitriol towards California is a little surprising

I can concede that, as California is the most populous state, it likely contains the highest number of a-holes. However, Texas - as the second most populous state - is surely giving Cali a run for its money.

I'm sure both states have some very fine people.
