Expand tickets are cheap compared to the rest of the NFL so I'm not even sure where this thought is coming from.

Expand Well they legally couldn't do anything until the approval happened. They could have just sat around until June 1st for the ground breaking ceremony. So the fact that it's not technically construction stuff is still happening now, literally, to start building the new stadium. Quote

SoCal Deek Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 People…please! Everything isn’t a controversy. The groundbreaking CEREMONY is just that…a ceremony. It’s not at all unusual for this sort of thing to occur many weeks after actual construction activity has commenced. For example, with the new stadium there are asphalt parking areas that need to first be removed. That activity is not conducive to having public officials turning dirt with a gold shovel. There’s nothing to see here! Sheesh 1 1 Quote
