There is room to build in Los Angeles?


Wait....There is actually room to build new things in Los Angeles? Where? Or shall I say, when did the city of Los Angeles extend out their city limits?

In any case, it appears that a private developer REALLY wants Los Angeles to have a NFL team again. Edward P Roski, who also is a part owner of the Kings and Lakers, has been pestering the NFL to bring a team back to Los Angeles. I guess guess being a multi-millionaire just doesn't cut it for him. On Thursday he unveiled a 75,000 seat stadium that will sit on 600 acres of already zoned land that he owns. This huge piece of land is about 20 miles outside of Los Angeles and is located around the southern intersection of the 57 and 60 freeways. Along with the stadium, he will build a shopping mall as well.

Now Mr. Roski says that this stadium will not cost tax payers ANY MONEY. Let me translate that for you....That Big Mac meal that you buy at your local McDonalds for $3.99, will cost $10.99 and for some reason the patty will be only half as small as the already tiny-ass patty on the Big Mac.

So if the politicians in the city of Los Angeles pulls the fingers out of their asses, they could have a new stadium time for the 2011 NFL season.

Now this is what sucks, the NFL has NO PLANS of expanding the NFL. That means that Los Angeles would have to convince a team to move to Los Angeles. Well there are plenty of cry baby teams out there that want a new stadium: New Orleans Saints, San Diego Chargers, Minnesota Vikings, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. I think Los Angeles does need an NFL team again. It feels weird for them not too. I say bring back the Los Angeles Buccaneers. Who cares if there is already a team called the Buccaneers? And until they get their stadium, make them a "road only" team like the former Buccaneers. Also make their team's primary colors black. That way the hoodlums in Los Angeles can finally support their home team instead of the Raiders.
