Roski guarantees stadium
Reporter Jennifer McLain is on her way back to the office from a Downtown press conference about Ed Roski's plans to devleop a stadium in Industry.
Here's a short update that just got posted on our Web site:
LOS ANGELES -- Billionaire land developer Ed Roski unveiled his plan Thursday to build an $800 million NFL stadium in the City of Industry.
Although there is no professional football team on the horizion for the region, Roski said it is a certainty the stadium will be built.
Speculation about teams moving to the area centered on the Bufflao Bills, the Minnesota Vikings or the Oakland Raiders. Neither team owners nor NFL officials were immediately available for comment. NFL officials did not participate in the press conference.
Roski said he expects construction on the site to start by the fourth quarter of this year.
I'm sure Jennifer will have more insight later.
How about a follow up story? The Tribune should have something like a Construction Countdown and get behind this proposal. Now!
