Rams, Chargers stadium delayed; won't open until 2020

The opening of the $2.6 billion football stadium under construction in Inglewood, Calif., has been pushed back one year to 2020 due to construction delays caused by Los Angeles' uncommonly wet winter.

Los Angeles Rams spokesman Artis Twyman confirmed the delay Thursday for the 70,000-seat stadium, which will be shared by the NFL's Rams and Los Angeles Chargers. The massive project also includes a 300-acre entertainment district.

The stadium was scheduled to open shortly before the 2019 NFL season, but is now slated to open in the summer of 2020, the developers said in a statement. Super Bowl LV already has been awarded to the stadium for Feb.
