04/19/2008 2:53 PM - With all the suites located on one side and a clamshell seating-bowl design, developer Ed Roski Jr. has proposed a most unusual design for a new $800-million stadium located in the Los Angeles suburbs.

The new stadium would be built into the existing land layout, which Roski says would cut down on construction costs. But it also forces a rather unusual design where the stadium would be built into the side of a hill, placing most of the seats in an unusual clamshell arrangement and stacking the 175 suites up on one side of the stadium. (Stacking the suites is not unusual; it's actually cheaper and easier to do this than wrap them around the stadium, as many architects working on the college level have known.) The stadium would seat 75,000 and be expandable to 80,000 seats for Super Bowl games. Like many new sporting facilities, this one would be built according to environmentally sensitive "green" specs.
