600 acre site near LA where a new stadium has been proposed, voters approved a bond that would provide $150 million!

I went to the web site and the proposed stadium is sweet.

So which team is going?
New Orleans?
Buffalo > No, they have Toronto
Minnesota?

St. Louis? It'd be hilarious if the Rams went back there.

Saints have a contract with Louisiana through to 2010 season. Which is probably when the stadium would be finished.

Al Davis claims he still owns the LA market, should be interesting to see if he wants to move the team back there or not.

That spot is right next to my church. It should be pretty cool as they would build the stadium into the side of a big hill.

Word is that the Bills ownership would move in a heartbeat. too bad. passionate f-ball town. I think the only way the Bills stay there is if they do what Green Bay did and have the people/town buy the team.

Bills aren't going anywhere...

-i hope -

rams ?

A lot of people here in St Louis thought that Chip was letting the team fail because he might want to take the team back to his home market of LA.... he told us that was 'definately not the case' and he would prove it this year. So we finally got the two dipwads out of the front office (Zygmunt and Shaw), got a better GM in Devaney, and now have a promising head coach to be excited about. Them picking Linehan over Rivera was retarded, they thought he was the next coming of Martz though. I can't wait to see what Spagnuolo does. I loved our high scoring offense for years, but the defense always made me sick. But shoot, the offense was worse than the defense this year.

City might go crazy if we lost the football team though... people are still pissed at the Bidwells and the Cardinals. We are more of a baseball town, but we love our football too.

Not true I'm in L.A. there was no such Bond nor was the site approved guys, we didn't pay for the Lakers stadium or the Kings were not paying for an NFL team with tax dollars. there has been a site mentioned but the NFL hasn't approved the deal yet. and Ed Roski is going to front the cash like he did in down town L.A. were he built L.A. Live.

Voters approve bond on proposed SoCal stadium site

INDUSTRY, Calif. (AP)—Voters approved a bond measure Tuesday that would provide $150 million for infrastructure improvements at a 600-acre site near Los Angeles where a stadium has been proposed to lure an NFL team.

Voters in Industry, a tiny town about 15 miles east of Los Angeles, passed the measure 60-1, though city officials have yet to certify the plan.

The results support a proposal by billionaire developer Ed Roski’s Majestic Real Estate Co. to build an $800 million stadium if an NFL team agrees to move there.

Industry is hosting the latest in a long string of plans to bring an NFL team back to Los Angeles after the Rams and Raiders exited the nation’s second-biggest market after the 1994 season.

Majestic, which helped develop Staples Center—home of the NBA’s Lakers and Clippers and the NHL’s Kings in downtown Los Angeles—is convinced a disgruntled football team would jump at the chance to play in a new stadium.

NFL officials have said the league is monitoring potential stadium developments in the Los Angeles area but have declined to comment on specific sites or teams that might move to the region.

Majestic agreed with NFL officials not to make any formal overtures to team owners until Industry officials certified the plan, which they could do on Thursday at a City Council meeting.

Neighboring cities worried about traffic and noise have threatened lawsuits to stop the stadium. And there is no guarantee the National Football League would condone Roski shaking loose a team from its current home field.

The $150 million was proposed to improve streets, lighting and sewers on the site, with repayment coming through ticket sales and parking fees. It was included in a ballot measure that called for the city to raise a combined $500 million through the sale of general obligation bonds to funds street repairs and other enhancements throughout the city.

City Clerk Jodi Scrivens said the voting results were unofficial but appeared solid. Industry has 84 registered voters, mostly old-timers whose homes were grandfathered into the city when it was incorporated five decades ago. It is zoned primarily for business and industry.

Check out the stadium, pretty cool looking.

I just don't get the idea that people would vote through something like this without having a team lined up to take residency. Just like the KC stadium that is now trying to land an NHL team, if you build it...they don't always come.
