One of my best friends works for AEG. You're flat out wrong.

You put at team 50 miles from the "money", i.e. Pac Palisades, Malibu, Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach or even 35 miles from the Hollywood Hills, and you can expect those people to stay away.
With ticket prices as they are, why in the ****ing world would you believe that a city in North San Gabriel Valley could support an NFL team?
You might as well put an NFL team in Manhattan, Kansas and call it the Kansas City whatevers.
Not working. Ain't gonna happen.

You're talking out of your ass. The plan was demolish one side of the L.A. Convention Center, build a stadium with parking, then rebuild the entire convention center (which needs to be done, anyway).
Furthermore, there's a dome for this stadium (and $20 million per year in naming rights sold to Farmer's Insurance) to host Final Four's, World Cup Soccer, the eventual return of the Olympics, etc.
That will NOT happen 35 miles from downtown LA. You might as well build it in Utah.
