Chalkie Gerzowski Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 CBC-FBN--NFL-Los Angeles, 1st Ld-Writethru,0452 Voters approve bond on proposed SoCal stadium site Eds: RECASTS, adds details throughout. INDUSTRY, Calif. (AP) — Voters approved a bond measure Tuesday that would provide $150 million for infrastructure improvements at a 600-acre site near Los Angeles where a stadium has been proposed to lure an NFL team. Voters in Industry, a tiny town about 15 miles east of Los Angeles, passed the measure 60-1, though city officials have yet to certify the plan. The results support a proposal by billionaire developer Ed Roski’s Majestic Real Estate Co. to build an $800 million stadium if an NFL team agrees to move there. Industry is hosting the latest in a long string of plans to bring an NFL team back to Los Angeles after the Rams and Raiders exited the nation’s second-biggest market after the 1994 season. Majestic, which helped develop Staples Center — home of the NBA’s Lakers and Clippers and the NHL’s Kings in downtown Los Angeles — is convinced a disgruntled football team would jump at the chance to play in a new stadium. NFL officials have said the league is monitoring potential stadium developments in the Los Angeles area but have declined to comment on specific sites or teams that might move to the region.
BillsObserver Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Precisely what I've been waiting for - another LA thread!! I think I'd rather discuss Copeland Bryan's 1 sack. Yes, he actually had 1 sack this season. Only 1 less than Chris Kelsay though. Somehow we need to find some youtube footage of this. I won't believe it until I see it..
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 I just got off the phone the AP, they are lying...the bond issue was trounced by people being foreclosed.

Nothing for Bills fans to worry about. Been there quite a few times - tiny place, but with a thriving Asian community. Long long drive (by heavy-traffic freeway hours, not miles) from LA's 'center' so can't imagine plopping an NFL stadium there and expecting it to do any better than the Coliseum did. Los Angelenos have already proven they're pretty disinterested in an NFL team. Too much swimming, surfing, and bikinis going on to burn a beautiful Sunday afternoon in front of the tube watching NFL football or - even worse - paying good money to drive three hours to watch the Bills.
IDBillzFan Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Putting a stadium in City of Industry? What's wrong, NFL? Oakland isn't a big enough shiitthole to stick a stadium?
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 I didn't say it was anything to be concerned about...just that the AP had the feed.
