LA billionaire trying to bring NFL back to SoCal
In Los Angeles, the sports-construction cliche is: If you build it, they probably will leave by the seventh inning.
But that isn't stopping billionaire Ed Roski from unveiling an ambitious plan today to erect a football palace to house a southern California NFL team he probably will have to steal from another city.
Mr. Ed bottom lines at about $2.3 billion, and ranks No. 195 with a bullet on Forbes' list of American Big Hitters. So he'll be taken seriously, even though the NFL appears to have given up on LA. Roski also was instrumental in getting LA's Staples Center built.
If Roski succeeds, this will be a gas-burning addition for Los Angeles football fans. Roski's geographical choice for this venture is out in the city of Industry, which you may driven through on your many trips to Chino Hills, West Covina or Pomona.
