NFL might come to Los Angeles

If you are from Los Angeles and if you are an NFL fan, then you probably will be pleased to know that the second largest city in the USA might enjoy professional football again in more than a decade since the Raiders moved to Oakland for good.

Developer Edward P. Roski Jr is the one behind the project, Roski Jr, who is part owner of the Lakers and the NHL Kings, is trying to convince NFL owners about the need of a professional football franchise in a city that is full of fans willing to pay for seeing NFL games live, and with a population of almost 4 million people, chances are that Roski’s dream might become a reality.

For the moment, Greg Aiello, a spokesperson for the NFL has said that coming with expansion teams is not in the league’s inmediate plans, but if an existing team is willing to move to Los Angeles, then, it might happen as soon as next year, when Roski Jr. can start with the contruction of the “Los Angeles Stadium,” a project he will be announcing tonight at the Staples Center, a venue which construction he is mostly responsible for.

The Stadium might be completed by 2011, and NFL games can be played at the Rose Bowl while its construction is completed.
