As I understand it, they were going to move the LA convention center, and build the stadium there, litteraly across the street from the staple center. Thing was, it wasn't just a stadium, it was going to be an outdoor mall too. Fans would have to traverse a maze of overpriced shops to get to their seats.

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. |

Why on earth would they spend money on a retractable dome with weather like you have in LA?

I'm thinking Ed Roski gets a piece of the Raiders. That's my guess right now. |

The only place that makes sense is the AEG complex next to Staples. There's a subway stop, tons of young people living downtown within walking distance, easy freeway access and lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Farmer's is already locked in for $20 million a year for naming rights. The City of Industry is a steaming dump. |

Do you realize that the City of Industry is 33 miles from Hollywood? Do you know how long that would take to travel on a typical Sunday morning, driving through downtown, let alone someone driving from Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, Pac Palisades or Malibu?
You're talking 90 minutes to two hours. Hardly anyone that will be able to afford a ticket will drive for two freaking hours to City of Industry. I'd rather catch the Amtrack, take a cooler of beer and go watch the Chargers. |
