St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke plans to build an NFL stadium in Inglewood, California, which could pave the way for the league's return to Los Angeles.
Hollywood Park developer Chris Meany said the stadium plan can accommodate two teams.
Los Angeles hasn't had an NFL team since 1994, but Kroenke's real estate development firm, the Kroenke Group, and Stockbridge Capital Group told the Los Angeles Times of their partnership to build a stadium.
Stockbridge Capital Group, which owns the 238-acre Hollywood Park site, already had plans for a mixed-use community on the land that formerly housed the famed thoroughbred racing track, which closed in late 2013. Those plans will now include an 80,000-seat stadium and a 6,000-seat performance venue, the companies told the newspaper. Kroenke had purchased a 60-acre parcel of land in early 2014 that is adjacent to The Forum, the former home of the Lakers and Kings.
The city of Los Angeles lost both the Raiders and Rams after the 1994 season, but none of the previous stadium plans were ever backed by a current NFL owner capable of moving his team into the country's second-largest market.
According to the report in Monday's Los Angeles Times, the Rams want to convert their lease at St. Louis' Edward Jones Dome to a year-to-year agreement later this month. If the team and the city fail to come to an agreement to build a new stadium, the Rams could move back to the area it called home from 1946 to 1994.......
