Transit plans for new stadium

As many as 20 percent of the 70,000-plus fans expected to stream through the gates of downtown's Farmers Field for an NFL game would arrive by mass transit, according to a new study commissioned by the stadium's developer. Dakota Smithh in the Daiiy News.

The Mobility Group, an Irvine-based transportation consulting firm, estimates that 73 percent of spectators would drive to a weekday game at the $1.4 billion stadium proposed by Anschutz Entertainment Group. That total would jump to more than 80 percent during a weekend event.

While some 19,500 cars would flood the downtown area, more than 25,000 parking spots would be available on weeknights and 38,000 on Sunday afternoons, the study found.
