Staff Reports Industry -The Proposed stadium’s future is looking grim as laws changed, which halted the go ahead of development. Back in 2011, the Supreme Court ruled to kill local redevelopment agencies which halted many projects that did not have existing contracts through them, Industry stadium being one of them. The state ruled that the original contract of the architect and landowner of the Industry stadium, Edward P. Roski, had areas that were not formalized. One in particular being, where one part of the project would not take place until another was finished. The recent ruling has halted any money from being obtained by Roski for infrastructure, causing a legal battle between Roski’s attorney and the state of California. The stadium also faces the hardship of finding a team as well, Fri., Feb. 14 was the mandated deadline for any teams to file for relocation, which none did so. Without a team and funds promised from local redevelopment agencies, the stadiums future will be an extremely uphill battle. The proposed stadium was going to be located at the northwest corner of the 60/75 freeway interchange and the Grand Avenue exit, and was going to cater to 15.5 million people across four counties including, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino. The stadium was going to be a large 75,000 seat stadium which would be the centerpiece of a new 600 acre entertainment and retail center that would also include 25,000 on-site parking spaces.
