INGLEWOOD Noah Fant Jersey , Calif. (AP) — The stadium that will house Los Angeles‘ NFL teams has reached another milestone with its opening less than 16 months away.Officials with LA Stadium at Hollywood Park and representatives from the Rams and Chargers held a ceremony Monday to celebrate the completion last week of the outer shell for the canopy that sits above the stadium’s seating bowl, Champions Plaza and performance venue.The steel roof shell is one of three parts of the canopy. The other two parts are the cables to keep the roof and suspended Oculus scoreboard in place and a single layer of ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluorethylene), which is a lightweight and transparent plastic. It was also used to construct the roof of US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, which hosted the 2018 Super Bowl and this year’s Final Four.“Each time we come here it gets more and more real,” Rams chief operating officer Kevin Demoff said. “When the NFL envisioned coming back to Los Angeles, this is what they had in mind — a two-team iconic stadium that anchors a sports and entertainment district.”LA Sports and Entertainment District managing director Jason Gannon said the stadium is two-thirds complete. When it opens, the stadium will measure more than 3 million square feet and will be the largest in the NFL.“I’ve seen a lot of NFL stadiums, but this is the largest. It’s grand but it’s befitting of Los Angeles,” said A.G. Spanos, the Chargers’ president of business operations. “You need a stadium to match the city.”The seating capacity will be 70,240 but can be expanded to 100,000 for major events. It is already slated to host the Super Bowl in 2022, the College Football Playoff title game in 2023 and the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2028 Summer Olympics.The Chargers have one more year at Dignity Health Sports Park and the Rams are going into their final season at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Both teams have started to bring their staff to the construction site on a regular basis to begin planning game presentation and other details. NEW YORK (AP) — Adam Gase gathered his Jets players for their first team meeting last week and clearly stated their goal for this season.They’re aiming for the New England Patriots.“Pretty much, he’s going for that one team that’s been winning every single year in this division,” linebacker C.J. Mosley said during a conference call Wednesday. “He said that’s one of the main reasons he came here and we all believe that. And, the guys that are new additions to the team http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/dalton-risner-jersey , we’re pretty much here for the same reason.”That, of course, has been the goal for the Jets — as well as the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills — for the better part of the last two decades. And, they’ve mostly been unsuccessful.The defending Super Bowl champion Patriots have won the AFC East 10 straight years, and 15 of the last 16 seasons. Since 2001, Bill Belichick’s bunch has finished atop the division for all but two seasons: in 2002, when the Jets won it; and 2008, when the Dolphins finished on top when Tom Brady missed almost the entire season with a knee injury.“We know what team has been on top for a long time,” said Mosley, who spent the last five seasons in Baltimore. “We feel we have the tools and the players and the game plan to get that done.”Gase understands what chasing the Patriots is about after leading the Dolphins the last three years. Miami was 2-4 against New England under him, including regular-season splits the last two years.The Jets weren’t nearly as successful under former coach Todd Bowles, dropping the last six meetings. But this is a different team with new leadership in Gase and lots of new faces on the field, including Mosley, running back Le’Veon Bell, wide receivers Jamison Crowder and Josh Bellamy, and left guard Kelechi Osemele.“His mindset is that he came here to win Drew Lock Jersey ,” Mosley said of Gase. “At the end of the day, history shows who we have to beat to get to that top spot. Not overlooking anybody else in the division or anybody else on our schedule, but we know if we want to get where we want to be, we know what team we’ve got to knock off.”The Jets began their offseason program last Monday at the team’s facility in Florham Park, New Jersey, and Gase was able to address his players as a group for the first time since he was hired as coach in January. They have held a handful of workouts since, and Gase has certainly made a positive first impression.“I would say he’s very energetic, you know, a pumped-up, hype type of coach,” said Crowder, who played in Washington his first four NFL seasons. “I like him from what I see, just me being here in this short amount of time. I’m just looking forward to growing our relationship.”Bellamy is one of the few Jets players who already had some familiarity with Gase, who was the receiver’s offensive coordinator in Chicago in 2015. Gase was also one of the main reasons Bellamy signed with the Jets as a free agent last month.“He’s a dog,” Bellamy said. “He has a dog mentality. He’s always attacking. He’s a winner and he wants to be a winner at all times in whatever he does. He’s highly competitive at everything he does. You want to play for a guy like that, a guy that wants to win http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/dre_mont-jones-jersey , a guy that’s confident. That’s the kind of dude that I want to play for and everyone around here wants to play for.”Bellamy also has no doubts that Gase will be able to help turn around a franchise that hasn’t made it to the playoffs since the 2010 season.“He’s going to build a culture of just everybody being a dog, having that type of mentality, of being aggressive,” Bellamy said. “He’s ready to win and we all want to win.”While it’s not exactly Rex Ryan’s bold declaration in 2009 that he didn’t join the Jets to “kiss Belichick’s rings,” Gase is clearly confident he’ll be able to get the job done. That approach is reflected in his coaching staff, particularly defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, and can quickly trickle down to the players.“It just starts (from) a mental standpoint,” Mosley said. “You’ve got to know where you are. You’ve got to know where the team is with a new set of coaches on both sides. And, the intensity the coaches (have) themselves trying to get us in the right position, that kind of brings a mentality to the players. We feed off that energy. If they’re confident, then that makes us confident.“When we’re both confident together, especially knowing our game plan and know what we can and can’t do, that can make us a dangerous team.”
