AEG, Gensler reveal new stadium renderings
Los Angeles-based architectural firm Gensler has released new images of the latest design scheme for the Farmers Field stadium and event center. The unveiling of the new images was part of a stadium project update by AEG and ICON Venue Group.
The Tuesday afternoon press conference included a project update from Tim Romani, President and CEO of ICON Venue Group, which serves as AEG’s Owners Representative for Farmers Field. Romani praised Gensler’s work on the stadium’s design:
We have really challenged the Gensler team to create a unique design for Farmers Field that is destined to become another distinguished signature building for Los Angeles and at the same time a remarkable achievement in venue functionality and sustainability…This stadium and event center will be like nothing you’ve ever seen or experienced.”
Farmers Field will serve as the home of Los Angeles’ new NFL football team while providing conventions booked at the Los Angeles Convention with an additional indoor configuration should they require more space.
Gensler, ICON Venue Group, and AEG are taking a highly innovative approach to the process of converting the stadium to an enclosed environment, with the goal of creating a revolutionary deployable roof solution without unnecessary conversion durations. According to Gensler Principal Ron Turner:
“Designing a world-class large scale venue, capable of creating the perfect environment to host both indoor and outdoor events, goes far beyond the retractable roof solutions of the past…Our charge is not only to design a stadium that offers the ideal outdoor NFL experience but also to have a fully enclosable facility that creates an equally appealing location and atmosphere for indoor events and conventions.
Farmers Field remains on schedule to file a draft Environmental Impact Report with the City of Los Angeles in 2012. Ground will break on the stadium and event center later in the year, with design and construction complete and ready for the 2016 NFL season.
