NFL eyes Hollywood Park....Again

[Rudeboyelvis]

>>> Like most ideas in Los Angeles, it is unlikely to happen.

Three NFL sources said that at least two teams have spoken with the owner of the soon-to-be-closed Hollywood Park horse racing facility in Inglewood to see if the team can either buy the 260-acre property or get the owner to build a stadium.

In addition, the league itself likes the Hollywood Park site because it believes it could easily house two teams as well as studios and offices for NFL Network and possibly a west wing of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

According to all the sources, Oakland, San Diego, St. Louis and Jacksonville all have the ability to get out of their lease agreements either after this season or after the 2014 season. While those teams have all said publicly they would like to stay where they are, that hasn’t stopped them from doing research in Los Angeles.<<<

How many times does Professional football need to fail in Los Angeles before they get it?

NFL failed in LA when it wasnt "the NFL". I dont see any way it fails now if they make it happen

Stan might actually go for it. He did build a soccer field here in the middle of nowhere surround by Barrio and people do go out there for games. I know the area along Crenshaw is worse but a few people still made it out to Hollywood.

I'm having flashbacks to when Schaefer Stadium was next to Foxboro Raceway.
