Weekly Industry NFL stadium roundup

| | Comments (0) |
State Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg was a guest in the Chargers owner Alex Spanos' luxury box at a recent San Diego game. The legislator, who pushed through a bill to allow the NFL stadium plan in Industry to proceed, was reportedly there for a fundraiser, writes Michael Gardner in the San Diego Union-Tribune. (The Chargers have been listed as a potential candidate to move to Los Angeles.)

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says there are "positive developments" in the Los Angeles area. "But now we have to figure out how to pay for it. And in our economic system, that is a big challenge. It's at least an $800 million stadium," he told the Associated Press.

The St. Louis Rams are the most likely to move to the future Industry stadium site because the team is currently up for sale and they have an opt-out clause with their Jones Dome lease after 2014 season, writes Peter King in Sports Illustrated.

Ed Roski, Jr.'s development company, Majestic Realty, has fielded requests to reserve the 176 luxury suites and almost 40,000 for the 12,500 club seats, writes Jon Wertheim in Sports Illustrated.

Heck, even the New York Times took up the news.
