NEW L.A. STADIUM TO BE PROPOSED THURSDAY
Posted by Mike Florio on April 17, 2008, 8:00 a.m.
It was widely reported on Wednesday that Edward Roski, a part owner of the L.A. Kings and L.A. Lakers, will make a “major announcement” on Thursday regarding the possible future of the NFL in Los Angeles.
He’ll unveil on Thursday morning his concept for a new stadium in L.A. PFT Planet gets an advance peek at the venue, thanks to Roski’s group, which sent to us a link to the proposed venue’s brand-new web site.
The site included a computerized flyover of the stadium. Though the graphics are a bit on the N64 level, the video reveals a stunning structure that creates the appearance that it is surrounded by a bowl of earth and grass.
And if you look closely, you’ll notice the obvious ambition of the project. One of the nearby buildings is adorned with a huge sign that proclaims “SUPER BOWL.”
The stadium would be built in the City of Industry, roughly 20 miles east of Los Angeles. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello tells the AP that the NFL will not be involved in Thursday’s press conference. (The computerized mock-up of the stadium, however, sports the NFL logo on one of the background signs.)
If there’s going to be a stadium, there also needs to be, you know, a team (unless the league acts on our idea to play eight neutral-site games each year in L.A., once the regular-season schedule expands to 17 games). Roski plans to announce that the stadium will be ready for play by 2011 (just in time for a work stoppage!).
Some readers already have speculated that the Minnesota Vikings could be sold to Roski and moved into the new venue, but the Vikes are tied to the Metrodome through the 2011 season.
Other possible candidates include the Chargers, the Bills, and the Jaguars.

uneven number of teams shouldn't be a problem. We had an uneven number for a while, then huston got a team and then it became even. I think the thing that's keep L.A. from getting a team, is where they gonna play at?? Nfl is being picky about where to put them, any old stadium won't do. So L.A. has to build a new stadium somewhere so they can get a team. Where in the hell will a stadium fit in the City of Industry?? Looks like either some warehouses or some homes will have to be knocked down to make room.
