Farmer's Field is the proposed billion-dollar stadium that will be home to a potential NFL franchise in Los Angeles.

Recently, the people behind the project released a video with new illustrations of what the stadium will look like.

The stadium would be a part of a new entertainment complex centered around the Staples Center and L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles.

This complex includes a glitzy new hall for the L.A. Convention Center, an outdoor plaza, and much-needed parking for tailgating.

Farmer's Field has competition from rival stadium projects, and still has to clear some hurdles before construction begins. But based on the illustrations, it could be great.

This is what the downtown L.A. complex looks like now

The project would add four new major structures, at a pricetag of $1.2 billion — $275 million of which will come from city bonds

If it's built, four different teams — the Kings, Lakers, Clippers, and NFL Team X – will play just steps from each other

Now let's check out the stadium

The glass roof

The endzone stand, with dueling jumbotrons

YouTube

It will have 75,000 seats

YouTube

The downtown complex would be much livelier than it is now

YouTube

The outdoor plaza would host festivals and markets

YouTube

The rebuilt wing of the convention center would have more space to host things like the L.A. Auto Show ...

YouTube

Or fancy parties ...

YouTube

The stadium itself will come with meeting rooms overlooking the field

YouTube

An ice rink, in L.A.? Why not

YouTube

The video ends with a montage of events that the stadium could hold, like the Final Four

YouTube

Or an outdoor hockey game

YouTube

Or a U2 concert

YouTube

Or even an Olympics (seems unlikely, L.A. just had the games in '84)
