American exceptionalist capitalism continues the Roman Colosseum fantasy of Field of Dreams "If You Build It, They Will Come" more an adult film title than a
city planning paradigm. In either case the west side of LA county might need another venue for
spectacular-producing wastes of money. Shared stadia are not unusual as in the case of the NY Giants and NY Jets, but private financing as shared private costs would be remarkable and could augment the region since that intersection area includes some other lesser stadia including the Velodrome and StubHub field as well as Cal Worthington's Ford dealership and Cal State U. Dominguez Hills. Considering that both teams have a LA history and the Chargers' audience is 40% from Orange County, the Raiders-Chargers stadium would have an impact at least on
weekend traffic.
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) The Chargers and Raiders are moving forward on a back-up plan to share a privately funded $1.7 billion stadium in Carson, according to published reports. While the teams would continue negotiations to move to new stadiums in San Diego and Oakland, they said in a joint statement posted on the Chargers' website that they will also work on the proposal to that would see them share a 68,000-seat facility at the 405 Freeway and Del Amo Boulevard.
The proposal rivals one that St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke and Stockbridge Capital, which owns the former Hollywood Park racetrack, have announced in Inglewood. There, an 80,000-seat NFL stadium would be part of a complex that also includes a theater, retail businesses and a residential district. The city of Inglewood will hold a referendum on the plan later this year.
