The University of Texas stadium should just be a recreation of the walls during the battle of the Alamo.

Well the Raiders were supposedly originally going to be called Seņors, they should've just used this one again.

And the Lord said, "Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.
It's a pity that stadium couldn't be built since there isn't any way to incorporate the huge block of luxury boxes that every stadium needs to have.

It looks like a mission twist on the Spectrum (or whatever that mall East of the highway is just south of LA).

How much of a cash cow is a stadium in LA? According to this LA Times piece AEG paid $27 million for just the environmental study for a stadium that's probably not going to happen.

That's not that much if you think about it. CA has a shitton of regulations that need to be covered in EIS documentation as is, but LA is also incredibly expensive to develop in and incredibly sensitive to a lot of environmental things. Anything that is going to use a lot of land and cause a lot of traffic is going to require hydrodynamic/atmospheric/transportation/etc. modeling. You can also throw a lot of money (which they're obviously doing) to cover every aspect in order to streamline the EIS process. They'd probably be losing money in the long run if they didn't rush the approval and ground breaking. 27m is peanuts even over 10 years of stadium activities (or even the construction costs).

It's been dead in the water for a while. I work for Farmers and we had a state of the company simulcast. Someone asked about Farmers Field in light of the LA news and it was like a Jim Tomsula press conference. You could tell they knew it was dead but couldn't say it.

Build the stadium out of marble, and instead of the black eyed peas, throw on hans zimmer in between plays. Legit want a roman themed team now.

I'm just going to go ahead and assume this is a grudge match between Donkeykong Suh and Hayden Christensen.

I thought it was dead too, which is why I was surprised they trotted out the Terror Target: INGLEWOOD crap, days before they dropped it altogether.

The San Diego stadium advisory group has narrowed their efforts to focus on the Qualcomm site rather than downtown. A funding plan will be put together by late May.

The Chargers representative in attendance at the announcement of this today? Shawne Merriman. Still love you, Lights Out.
