The sad fact about LA sports is that if you aren't a winner, or don't have a revolutionary new way of displaying your product, you can not sustain a fan base... ask the 7,000 people who show up on a nightly basis for Clipper games. Or just ask anyone who has been to a Dodger game when the boys in Blue are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, the ravine is empty aside from a few Korean tourists and those old dudes who listen to the game on vintage headphones while sitting a mere 50 feet from the action.
So AEG...build an average ultra modern football stadium, and fill it with average players, and see what you get... average support from average fans. This is LA, on paper that is Hollywood to the rest of the country, but you still need a nice medium of hype and real contemporary quality for profitable sports run in this town.

I had a friend send me some really interesting links about a new stadium built in Taiwan and opened in 2009. Aesthetically and practically this solar powered stadium is light years (no pun intended) ahead of anything we might see in any of the AEG sponsored sketches.
