Dude, I don't know where you read that but that's certainly not in any plans that I've seen.
Yes, they're going to raze one side of the L.A. Convention center (which is a piece of ****ing shit) to make room for the stadium, then remodel and add square footage back onto the other side.
It'll all tie in to Staples and L.A. Live but I haven't seen plans anywhere at all that show a shopping mall attached or part of the stadium, which will include a retractable dome.
But all that said, this thing was dead in the water the minute AEG went on the block.
