Title: L.A. Stadium Builder Has Had Talks with Five NFL Teams Post by: Marshal Dillon on June 10, 2011, 07:45:10 PM Well, apparently 5 NFL teams are looking to move to LA. I wonder if this isn' a tactic to scare their cities into building them new stadiums along with other incentives?

I think that may be true for four of the five, but the Jaguars have less fan support than the Marlins. I'd wanna move if I were them.QUOTE The head of the sports and entertainment firm that wants to build an NFL stadium in downtown Los Angeles has been in talks with officials from five teams about the proposed venue, a company official said Friday.

The have been needing a modern stadium for a while, especially with luxury boxes and other conviences. Title: Re: L.A.

Pictures of proposed new LA stadium. 3 years ago then Gov Arnold Schwarzenegger and state legislature pass bills into laws prohibiting environmental groups from running impact studies at the site of proposed stadium in LA. The studies would have delayed stadium construction for years. Environmental groups would have imposed restrictions on project and mandated strict guidlines to follow during construction to minimize any damage to the environment. The proposed stadium would only seat 70 thousand fans, and the architecture style is modern with one side of the stadium with a large sweeping grandstand and the other side is a small grandstand and hundreds of stacked sky boxes. It is kind of like the way the architect designed Phillips Arena, only for an outside NFL stadium. I just love Bryant Denny. It is the best college stadium in all of the country, and it rivals many NFL stadiums with the 159 sky boxes. This last addition to Bryant Denny for the South Zone, plus the 4 flat screens, sound system, renovations to rest of stadium including bathrooms and concession stands, etc. cost $86 million. 8) Title: Re: L.A.

The entrance through that man-made hillside into the stadium is actually kind of cool. I'm just not sure that I like the dimensions of the stadium. Title: Re: L.A.

Of course it is, but they're dealing with politicians, almost none of whom know ANYTHING about business. Then, the politician gets spooked, votes for outrageous funding and benefits for an owner who may be a billionaire, and the fans (taxpayers) are stuck with the bill. It has happened countless times. I expect to see more and more taxpayers voting against these stadiums, whether it's NFL. NBA, or MLB. |
