It is suppose to look and "feel" like a Californian themed place so one of those things is that the stadium was placed with the ends to get the breeze off the ocean, that is why it is open ended. I know might sound dumb, but it is a very unique stadium.
Thanks for posting.

Did they not consider retractable doors, even if they would be left open 90% of the time?

Wild fires are a yearly occurrence in California and I suspect the L.A. air quality might still be suspect even without them. And will there not be numerous activities at the stadium where being able to have the site completely enclosed would be preferred?

I'm just surprised, given the price tag, that SoFi stadium can't be completely sealed up.

They never mentioned that they considered it. I think because of how earthquake conscious it is that it might have been too risky. especially with the earthquake-proof columns close to it. Also might explain why there is no retractable roof they have some sliding panels like multiple sunroofs instead.

Step 1: What worked in 2019? What didn't?

Step 2: Work off Kellen's foundation. Add wrinkles from McCarthy's 12-year study of passing game.

Step 3: Run it by Dak. Inside the making of McCarthy-Moore offense + what you can expect from Cowboys tonight:

Number 2 is what i'm wondering about - excited about, i really wanted some McCarthy wrinkles in the run game and RB pass game added.
Kellen and Columbo did not

What particular about McCarthy offensive mind can be added to Moore ? i loved Kellen's huddle pace, route design, pre -snap motion/multi-formations
and the way he pushes the ball downfield.

Is trying to confuse the defense allowed? I thought we were supposed to do what we do, and make it clear to the defense what that would be.
“I would say we married up our pass looks and our run looks a lot more so we’re less predictable,” running back Ezekiel Elliott said. “I think that’s probably the (biggest) change.”​
