Los Angeles Stadium
Los Angeles, CA
For more than a decade the second largest city in the United States, Los Angeles, has been without a NFL team. Professional football in Los Angeles dates back to 1946 when the Rams moved from Cleveland to the city and the Los Angeles Coliseum. The city was home to two NFL franchises after the Oakland Raiders moved to Los Angeles for the 1982 season. However, both franchises relocated after the 1994 season, the Raiders back to Oakland and the Rams to St. Louis. In 1995, professional football almost returned to the city when the Seattle Seahawks announced they planned to move to Los Angeles. The NFL blocked this move and the Seahawks remained in Seattle. In the late 1990s a group of investors tried to get the NFL to expand to city but failed when the league's 32nd franchise was awarded to Houston. Since then, numerous groups have tried to lure a NFL team to the city and have proposed stadiums in Anaheim, Irwindale, Inglewood, Carson, at the Rose Bowl and the Los Angeles Coliseum. None of these efforts have succeeded.

In April 2008 developer Edward P. Roski Jr., part owner of the Los Angeles Lakers and Kings, announced plans to build a NFL stadium 20 miles east of Los Angeles. This plan calls for a 75,000 seat stadium to be constructed on a 600 acre site at the intersection of the 57 and 60 freeways. No public money would be spent for constructing the $800 million stadium. The cost of construction is $400 million lower than what it would normally cost because two-thirds of the stadium would be built into a hillside, therefore it using less steel and concrete. Construction would not begin until a team agrees to move to Los Angeles. Environmental studies have already been completed at the site allowing for possible construction to begin if a team were to commit to moving. Teams that could possibly move include the Minnesota Vikings or the San Diego Chargers. However, no discussions on any team's relocation have been discussed.

The earliest the stadium could open is in Fall 2011. It is designed to seat 75,000 fans and expandable to 80,000 for future Super Bowl games. The stadium would use the latest in environmental technology, creating a new stadium for NFL stadiums. It would feature all the modern amenities that current NFL stadiums have including 11,000 club seats, 175 luxury suites, a team store, restaurant and a NFL attraction. Furthermore, the stadium would be surrounded by retail and offices.
