The Inglewood City Council voted unanimously in favor of the
80,000-seat stadium planned as part of a larger mixed-use
development project for the Hollywood Park site, the newspaper
reported.
Stan Kroenke, who owns the St. Louis Rams which played in Los
Angeles before relocating to the Midwest some 20 years ago, is
among the developers behind the estimated $1.86 billion stadium,
the Times reported.
Last Thursday, the San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders
proposed a plan that would have the teams share a new stadium in
the Los Angeles-area city of Carson if they fail to solve their
current venue dilemmas.
Both teams have struggled for years to reach deals on new local
stadiums, and their owners have repeatedly expressed a
willingness to move to Los Angeles, which has not had a NFL team
of its own for years.
