Over the weekend, Rams owner Stan Kroenke revealed initial images of a two-team NFL stadium proposed for Hollywood Park in Greater Los Angeles.
It's the first time Kroenke and his development partner, Stockbridge Capital Group, have given an indication that the stadium planned for the Inglewood community could potentially house two teams.

On his own, Kroenke has not made a commitment to move the Rams to the West Coast and there's been no word from his camp of a a second team under consideration. But the initial plans call for two home locker rooms and two owners suites as well as other spaces mirroring each other inside the $1.86 billion facility.
HKS, the same Dallas architect designing the Minnesota Vikings' new stadium after completing stadium projects for the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys, prepared the renderings.
In Los Angeles, the design calls for a fixed roof to accommodate major sporting events such as the NCAA Final Four, Super Bowl and stadium concerts. The same concept holds true for the Vikings' stadium in the Upper Midwest.
In addition, the roof cover gives Kroenke the ability to use that space as a giant digital billboard visible to the more than 35 million travelers flying in and out of nearby Los Angeles International Airport.
HKS' early sketches in Los Angeles call to mind a few design elements incorporated into the Cowboys and Vikings stadiums.
The seating bowl's multiple levels are similar to AT&T Stadium, home of the Cowboys. Perforated metal panels on the stadium's exterior walls under consideration in Los Angeles are among the primary features at the Cowboys' facility in Arlington.
The use of ETFE, a translucent material for the roof cover is the same material being used for the glass roof at the Vikings' $1 billion stadium in downtown Minneapolis.
Kroenke plans to discuss the project during this week's NFL owners meetings in Arizona.
