Rams unveil plans for ‘transformative' headquarters and entertainment district in Los Angeles

Yahoo09-04-2025

The Los Angeles Rams will build their permanent headquarters and a major new mixed-use development in Woodland Hills, the team announced Monday.
The project, named Rams Village at Warner Center, will transform 52 acres into a sports and entertainment district anchored by the Rams' state-of-the-art training facility, two indoor performance venues, and millions of square feet of residential, retail, office and public space, officials said.
The proposed development is located within the Warner Center 2035 Plan area and will adhere to the plan's land-use provisions, which outlines a sustainable, transit-oriented vision for 1,100 acres in Woodland Hills, focused on adding housing, jobs and services while improving walkability, transit access and bike infrastructure.
'As we embark on our tenth season back in Los Angeles, we remain committed to helping shape the future of this great city,' said Rams owner E. Stanley Kroenke.
The Rams' permanent headquarters will include over 350,000 square feet of facilities, two existing outdoor fields, and a planned 150,000-square-foot indoor practice field that could seat up to 2,500 guests. The team has a temporary facility, which opened in August, and it will remain in use until construction is complete.
Kroenke's organization acquired nearly 100 acres in the Warner Center in 2022, including the adjacent Topanga Village outdoor shopping center, which will remain open during development.
The new neighborhood will link to surrounding areas via landscaping and design elements, officials said.
The broader project, designed by global architecture firm Gensler, will feature two indoor venues seating 5,000 and 2,500 people, along with nearly 2 million square feet of commercial space and more than 3 million square feet of residential space. At least 9.5 acres of publicly accessible open space are included in the plan.
'This proposed project will be transformative — bringing new jobs, new housing and a first-of-its-kind major entertainment venue to the San Fernando Valley,' Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said in a news release issued by the team. She later said on social media that she believed the project would bring about 'new jobs, new housing and economic growth to our city.'
Formal planning applications are expected in the coming months.

Rams Latest Signing Could Point to Major Repeated Issue From 2024 Season

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Los Angeles Rams pulled off a massive rebound during the 2024 season. Despite starting the season 1-4, the team was able to put together a massive 5-1 run to secure a playoff berth. More news: Exclusive: Barry Sanders Reveals New Details on His Heart Attack A major reason for the rough start was the offensive line of the Rams being decimated by injuries. Alaric Jackson, Rob Havenstein, Steve Avila, and Jonah Jackson missed the beginning of the season due to injuries and Jackson being suspended for the first two games. Now, the Rams are looking ahead to the 2025 season, but the team is once again faced with a potential big hit on the offensive line. Alaric Jackson is currently dealing with blood clots, which is a similar issue faced in 2022. #Rams OT Alaric Jackson, a key member of the O-line who just signed an extension, is dealing with blood clots once again, per The Insiders. Similar to what he had in 2022. While the belief is he'll play in 2025, there are still questions. That explains the DJ Humphries signing. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) June 13, 2025 Though multiple reports have indicated that Jackson could play, there is enough concern that the Rams signed former Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman D.J. Humphries. We have signed OL D.J. Humphries to a 1-year deal. ⤵️ — Los Angeles Rams (@RamsNFL) June 13, 2025 The Rams announced that Humphries had been signed to a one-year deal. It's never a bad idea to sign more depth, especially on the offensive line. Humphries coming aboard was the right move, as the Rams saw firsthand what it's like to have thin offensive line depth. However, there also sounds like there be deeper concerns with the blood clot issues that Jackson is facing.

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - JANUARY 19: Jonah Jackson #72 and Neville Gallimore #92 of the Los Angeles Rams walk together prior to the NFC Divisional playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on January 19, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. MoreMore news: Steelers HC Mike Tomlin Offers Major Update on TJ Watt Minicamp Holdout Considering his injury history, the Rams might be preparing for a reality where Jackson is going to miss multiple games. The Rams have a new offense to take care of, which includes the loss of veteran Cooper Kupp, but also the addition of Davante Adams. Adams and Puka Nacua figure to be the new one-two punch combo that can propel the offense in an even bigger way. With running back Kyren Williams also a star, the Rams' offense could be even more dangerous in 2025. The issue is that the offense will sputter again if the offensive line is not in top shape. Losing Jackson for multiple games will certainly put a damper on the offensive line, but Humphries is a nice addition. He is still a young contributor who can replace Jackson in a solid way, should the veteran have to miss multiple games due to the blood clot issue he is dealing with. The hope for the Rams is that no one else on the offensive line suffers an injury, like in the 2024 season.

This past season, Perkins threw for 1,342 yards and nine touchdowns with only two interceptions. The Panthers were tied for the third-best record in the league, going 6-4 with the highest-scoring offense in the UFL.

Calvin Johnson thinks Davante Adams will 'adapt fairly quickly' to Matthew Stafford's arm

Hall-of-Fame receiver Calvin Johnson knows Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford well. The two played together on the Detroit Lions for most of Johnson's legendary career where Johnson made six Pro Bowls and three All-Pro teams. So now that he's seen another great receiver, Davante Adams, join Stafford in L.A., Johnson has some thoughts. All positive, though. Advertisement Johnson told FanDuel TV's Kay Adams that receivers always need to adjust to Stafford's arm strength when they join his team, but Adams should have a much smaller learning curve given how long he played with Aaron Rodgers. 'I saw Davante grow into a very solid receiver,' Johnson said. 'A great receiver from his time in Green Bay to where he is now. 'Even though when a new receiver came to our team, they always had to adjust to the fastball that Matthew throws. I would imagine Aaron Rodgers having a similar arm strength, [Adams will] be able to adapt fairly quickly.' Adams and Stafford have already begun to build a rapport during their brief time together as camps kick off this summer. Both are seasoned pros and understand how to work and adapt to different play styles. Advertisement The hope for the Rams is Adams can pick up the nuances quickly with a new quarterback help build a dominant offense alongside Puka Nacua with Stafford throwing them both the ball.
