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.

The stadium has always been LA's problem. I think its a good idea and many teams wish they could play in LA.

LA is the largest or one of the largest television markets in the USA. that = $$

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?


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.

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.

So Yahoo out scoped the L.A, Times? and all they approved were street improvements. there is no deal with the NFL yet.

I think its just a formality. The NFL wants to bring a team to LA, but they didn't have an adequate stadium that was up to NFL standards. This is the giant step forward that LA needed. I think we get a team once they start building the staduim.

I here you, and I do agree its good start, but I also heard Ed will not start to build any part of the Stadium until he gets a solid commitment from the NFL. He doesn't want to be left holding the bag for all these teams that threaten to move here in order to get new stadium deals with there city's. Its not like we haven't been through this before. LA already has a NFL team in there eyes its SC., who draw over 80-90 thousand a game.

I know it. I actually like not having a team in LA. SC gets national attention with nobody to steal it.

And we get to watch all the NFL games every week not just 2, also the bars and restaurants in our city get to put on events for all 4 games weekly and a Sunday night game as well as Monday that's a ton of revenue for the Bars restaurants City's and CHP.
