A new football stadium for the San Diego Chargers may look more like a scene out of a sci-fi movie than a sporting venue.

Architecture firm [Populous](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/populous-1) has unveiled plans for a [modern, interactive stadium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houston-dynamo-fc) that in and of itself is worth the price of admission. The open-air stadium will complement exciting football games by providing multi-use spaces such as a "fan park" for children. Also, a massive screen facing the exterior of the stadium will change as the the wind blows -- an homage to the area that mimics the ocean.

A skate park will also be built near the stadium, as well as a new trolly station and walkway. The proposed stadium may work to revitalize the entire area, becoming an [immersive destination](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-fan-communities) rather than just a football venue.
