Developer Edward P. Roski Jr. will unveil plans today to build a National Football League stadium in Los Angeles in an effort to lure a team to the city.
The arena would be built on an almost 600-acre site in the City of Industry and include 75,000 seats and 175 suites, according to a stadium Web site. It would be surrounded by a complex including a shopping mall, office buildings, restaurants, a movie theater and a Broadway-style theater.
Roski, part owner of the city's Lakers basketball and Kings hockey teams and chief executive officer of Majestic Realty Co., has sought to bring professional football back to Los Angeles for more than a decade. Eleven years ago, Roski teamed with billionaire Philip F. Anschutz in an unsuccessful bid to gain an NFL expansion team for the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
