Interesting. LA County is so flush with cash that they can spend $1.2 billion on a stadium that has no team to play in it? What happened to all of those bankruptcy stories we were reading about a few months ago?
If an L.A.-area resident wants to have an NFL team, the new team could play at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which is where the Raiders played for 13 years. That coliseum has about 100,000 seats, and it hosted many Olympic events, in 1984. If a new stadium is built, that would be a huge waste of money.
Aside from USC, the vicinity is a sh*thole. No sane white person except for the players themselves would go there. There’s a reason why the Dodgers have one of the 5 most drops in attendance and the Bryan Stow beatdown is just the tip of the iceberg.

Good questions.
And why are there all new street signs in all four directions on every street corner in Anaheim?
Why is there road construction being done on roads that could have gone a few more years?
Why are there new Chase banks being built all over Orange County?
Why is almost every kid at the local high school is getting free breakfast and lunch, and, if pregnant, free prenatal care and daycare?
The only people Obama has kept working are the union people who sold their souls to him: construction, infrastructure, educators, bankers. Everyone else I know in SoCal is struggling, especially independent small business owners.
