NFL Has One L.A. Venue Interested In Temporarily Housing NFL Team

The NFL has set today as a deadline for five facilities to submit requests to be “a temporary site in case two teams were to relocate” to the L.A. market. L.A. Memorial Coliseum is “the only venue willing to house a team while a stadium was being built and has made it clear it wants one pro team.” The Rose Bowl and StubHub Center "declined to respond to the league" and Angel Stadium and Dodger Stadium “have not given a definitive answer.” The NFL sees the lack of available sites as an “inconvenience” and not “something that would dictate the outcome of who would eventually move” (L.A. TIMES, 8/5).

Meanwhile, County Supervisors yesterday “bolstered San Diego’s efforts to build a new Chargers stadium” by approving $500,000 for attorneys and financial consultants that “will be needed if negotiations resume with the team” (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 8/5).
