ATLANTA -- The Rams do not have a place for the Lombardi Trophy -- yet. But, if they do win Super Bowl LIII, rest assured that they will build the most fabulous trophy case anyone has ever seen.

The team offered a virtual reality tour of the stadium under construction in Los Angeles on Thursday, and you didn’t need to put on the goggles to know this: The place is going to be insane. It is a 70,000-seat venue that is sunk into the ground with a clear roof but no walls and a futuristic, dual-sided video board called the “Oculus” that hangs above the entire field.

I can’t even begin to describe it. Look at the photos.

“It is basically a 22-acre patio,” Rams CEO Kevin Demoff told me. This palace will not only be the home to the Rams and the Chargers starting in 2020, but will be the centerpiece of an entertainment complex that is three and a half times the size of Disneyland that will remake a corner of the city.

The franchise wanted the “wow” factor that fits in with the glitzy of its city -- and not just from the ground, either. “It needed to be an iconic structure from the air,” Demoff said. “You have 100 million people flying over this building a year coming or going to LAX. We wanted people to be able to look down and see it for the architectural grandeur that it is.”

If you are a Giants or a Jets fan and starting to get little jealous, well, get used to it. That new showplace will host the Super Bowl in 2021, just the latest in a long line of new venues that have put MetLife Stadium -- our East Rutherford albatross -- to shame.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the retractable-roofed site of this year’s Super Bowl, is a fantastic venue. So is U.S. Bank stadium, the viking-ship-shaped dome in Minneapolis that hosted the big game last year. I’m not sure MetLife would have cracked the list of the top-10 best stadiums in the NFL even when it opened, but it is steadily falling as teams around the league open eye-popping new venues.

MetLife? More like MehLife.

This is not just my opinion, either. I posted a simple Twitter poll on Thursday, asking Giants and Jets fans if they liked the place their teams call home. The overwhelming response and vitriolic comments that followed didn’t surprise me.

Giants/Jets fans, help me out and answer this question for a column I'm writing: Do you like MetLife Stadium? — Steve Politi (@StevePoliti) January 31, 2019

Eight-three percent of the more than 3,500 voters answered “no.” One fan called it “a giant, overpriced tin can.” Another said it was “more like a warehouse than a stadium.” Fans called it a “lifeless concrete-colored donut” that “looks like an air conditioner” or a “prison toilet.”

And those were the polite responses.

Look, we all know what happened. The Jets wanted their own stadium in Manhattan, and when that dream fell apart, they joined the Giants on a partnership with the two teams disagreeing on just about everything outside of the need to have seats. The result is a gray $1.6 billion monstrosity with no personality that made no one happy besides the teams' accountants.

And, as one fan tweeted, "We’re stuck with that thing for another 40 years.”

I’ve been to 23 of the current NFL stadiums. Outside of the outdated venues in Buffalo and Miami, most of them have some defining characteristic. The new buildings in Atlanta, Minnesota and (soon) Los Angeles are every bit a part of the attraction of seeing an event.

One of the greatest mysteries of life: How did AT&T Stadium, the massive football wonderland that Jerry Jones built in Dallas, cost $400 million less to build than MetLife?

“You walk into (MetLife) Stadium and have no idea the Jets/Giants play there,” a fan named Jason Abrams wrote on Twitter. “No promotion of team history, iconic players in the franchise, etc. It’s just a very cold stadium. Also, compared to other places, food options are generic and repetitive.”

That’s really the shame of MetLife Stadium. The struggle to make sure it didn’t favor one team made its blandness the defining characteristic. Maybe, if you never step foot in another building, you won’t notice what we’re missing in New Jersey.

But the moment you see the venues in other cities -- the ones that just opened and the ones that will open soon -- it’s kind of depressing.

“We wanted a uniquely Los Angeles building,” Demoff said. “You start with the fact that it is the world’s first indoor/outdoor stadium. We wanted to have weather protection so we could host every event under the sun, not only Super Bowls but the Grammys, the Academy Awards, concerts, everything you can imagine.”

Los Angeles is going to have a stadium that is going to blow people away, just like the folks in Atlanta and Minnesota already do. For $1.6 billion, New Jersey has -- and, yes, I’m stealing this -- a lifeless concrete-colored donut.

When the cameras scan the venues at the upcoming Super Bowls, get ready to be jealous.
