What is the future of Hollywood Park? It recently ended a long run of hosting thoroughbred racing.

Madame Ram must be spinning in her grave. That old floozie sure was a piece of work.
“The Rams countered with a more elaborate proposal which was estimated to cost somewhere in the range of $700 million” For that price, they ought to be able to demolish the old one and build from scratch. Atlanta’s going to run over a $billion, but that includes buying off a couple of black churches so it could be built in the ‘hood. And Jerryworld went that high because they had to build it big enough to hold his ego.
...has a nice ring to it...

I think it takes about 40 acres for a modern stadium foot print with circulation drives. Parking is another matter.
Unless the site is in a blighted area where the stadium developer could get the local government to condemn and purchase another 300 to 500 acres for parking for 40,000 cars and 3000 employees, this is not enough land in my opinion. Even adding five story parking garages would result in another 100 acres on top of the twenty left over in the original 60.
Why on earth does LA need an NFL team? We already have two great football teams—the Occidental College Tigers and the USC Trojans.
How much does 60 acres of land cost?
