Stan Kroenke Owner of Los Angeles RAMS Just Announced that Sean McVay is no Longer
The Los Angeles Rams have declared their intention to construct their first permanent training facility and headquarters since moving back to California.
The Rams plan to construct in Woodland Hills, a LA community located in the San Fernando Valley’s southwest corner. The group will relocate to its new location in the following year, first using modular trailers that resemble the makeshift complex they have been housed in Thousand Oaks since 2016.
The Rams’ plans have been well known for the past two years, ever since owner Stan Kroenke started purchasing roughly 100 acres of land in the neighborhood, which includes two nearby malls, even though the announcement was made in Woodland Hills on Wednesday. The squad plans to move before training camp opens in July, so they have already started planting grass for their new practice fields.
Ever since Kroenke relocated the Rams from St. Louis back to the Los Angeles region in 2016, the club has been practicing and working out of that makeshift facility near the edge of Cal Lutheran University’s campus in Thousand Oaks, an outer suburb of Los Angeles.
Working out of empty, modular trailers on a location without any indoor practice fields as shelter from the severe winds in the area, coach Sean McVay assembled a team that made it to two Super Bowls and won the championship after the 2021 season—among many other typical comforts in the modern league.
The SoFi Stadium, which opens in 2020, is around 50 miles away from the Thousand Oaks complex. The distance between the Rams’ magnificent home stadium and the new training facility will be around half that.
At last, Kroenke is embarking on a project that should elevate the Rams to the caliber of training facilities attained by other NFL teams. Like he did with the stadium, the billionaire real estate developer plans to incorporate retail, business, and residential spaces in the complex.
The Los Angeles Chargers, who play with the Rams in Kroenke’s SoFi Stadium, will unveil a brand-new 150,000-square-foot training facility in El Segundo, a seaside town located a short distance from the stadium, early in 2019.
