NFL in LA?


You've heard this many times before, but at least we had a step in the right direction towards getting the NFL back in Los Angeles.

In a 5-0 vote, the city accepted an environmental plan for an $800million professional football stadium proposed by Majestic Realty President and billionaire Ed Roski, Jr.

The privately funded stadium will be near the intersection of the 57 and 60 freeways and has so far received strong regional support. But there has also been opposition from Diamond Bar and Walnut, whose residents are concerned about traffic, noise and pollution impacts.

Officials can start negotiating with football teams as early as next month, said Majestic Realty Vice President John Semcken. But Semcken acknowledged that lawsuit threats posed by Walnut and Diamond Bar could delay the project. More here
