LOS ANGELES | Downtown Project Rundown 4.0

[dachacon]

I think the idea of switching stadiums that was floated not to long ago, would serve a better purpose in downtown. By putting the football stadium you allow for the tailgating culture that is synonymous before and after football games while at the same time keeping the village idiots that normally go to football games and are not invested in the community isolated from the city, in the ravine. Baseball has more games, hence more foot traffic for the area. Traffic also works out better cause the Eleysian area will only get congested 8 to 10 times a year instead of 83 times it normally does after each dodger game. While the LA LIVE area is served by the Blue Expo and soon the Gold line. and by default the red and purple lines. By offering another mode of transport the market of baseball attendees grows. Final thought Dodger Stadium has been used many times for concerts and other large scale venues (e.g. Madonna and Eagles concerts, Papal masses) by building the stadium there it allows for an expansion of the the concert venues that Staples, and Nokia theatre cant handle.
