ON A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY ... IN DOWNTOWN L.A.?

          The MLS Galaxy said that "it would seek help" from the
     city of L.A. to "find" a 60-acre site for a new $60M
     stadium, according to the AP.  Galaxy President Tim Leiweke
     said that the organization "would not only pay to build the
     new stadium," but it would build a dozen other soccer
     facilities in the city.  Leiweke said that the team's home
     field, the 90,000-seat Rose Bowl, is "too big"  (AP, 7/8). 
     In L.A., Patrick McGreevy wrote that Leiweke "agreed to a
     [city] commission request to report back" in 30 days on
     whether "the team would be interested in pursuing the use
     of" the Hansen Dam site in downtown (L.A. TIMES, 7/8).
