The Los Angeles City Council approved plans by Anschutz Entertainment Group to build a new downtown football stadium and convention space, opening the door for a National Football League team to return to the city.
The council voted 12-0 yesterday to support plans for a $1 billion stadium adjacent to AEG’s Staples Center arena and the L.A. Live entertainment district. Three members were absent. The backers must still recruit at least one team to play there.
