2420675, Inglewood signatures verified (swipe)
Posted by Warren Coolidge, Wed Feb-11-15 06:03 PM
the signatures to re-zone the Inglewood City of Champions Project to include a stadium have been verified. Per Mayor Butts saying "the initiative did pass" ... I'm not certain yet if that means there will not be a vote on this, and the city council has approved the initiative ..... but if that is what he is saying.... there will be a groundbreaking for the new stadium within the next few days...

there are rumors that Stan Kroenke is going to apply for relocation within a week for NEXT SEASON...2015...

stay tuned

The NFL thinks it controls the L.A. stadium dance. (Even if it doesn’t.) The NFL knows it has no control over the efforts of Inglewood, or any other Southern California city, to lay the foundation for a football stadium.

On Wednesday, Inglewood Mayor James Butts said that enough signatures have been acquired to support the stadium initiative in the town that once housed both the Lakers and the Kings.

“We have the verified signatures in,” Butts told The Fred Roggin Show, “and the initiative did pass.”

The next step in the process will be a public hearing regarding the stadium project, which would be built at the site of the now-closed Hollywood Park horse racing facility. The public hearing is scheduled for February 24.

Rams owner Stan Kroenke has said he plans to build an NFL stadium on that site. Presumably, he also plans for the team that he owns to play there — with or without the blessing from at least 23 of this NFL business partners.
