Thread: Farmers Field

ed roski is a part owner of staples\anchutz\aeg in staples center and la live.

where there is a will, there is a way...it'll just be one long tedious process.
if it happens, then great, I have a team to root for. If not, then I'll get over it.

What makes Lieweekly think this is going to work? A domed stadium in Socal? Really? Roski's stadium in Industry is a much better location, is closer for folks from OC, Riverside and SB counties and would have plenty of parking for tailgating.

Let's get this **** done, AEG. Tired of seeing Angelenos wear assorted NFL jerseys every Sunday.

Also, are the Trojans gonna move there? The Rose Bowl will undergo major renovations so the Bruins have a permanent home.

the last paragraph:
Rosendahl (city councilman) also wondered if the city could somehow benefit from the $700-million naming-rights deal negotiated for the stadium with Farmer's Insurance: "Can't we get a piece of that money?"

idiots.
