If they have to choose, baseball makes so much more sense. Baseball plays 81 home games per year, not including playoffs. Football plays only 8. Also football season predominantly overlaps basketball and hockey, while baseball is mostly when those seasons are off. For AEG baseball makes so much more sense and I was surprised when they insisted that they wanted a football stadium and not baseball.
To me football only makes more sense only if they can get two teams or at least one team plus USC (which now looks unlikely), along with a mid-tier college bowl game, a couple of superbowls, and at least a rotating PAC-12 championship game. Baseball is just so steady with it's 30-50,000 fans per game. With baseball, basketball, and hockey AEG would have over 200 well attended sporting events per year. That's pretty intense!

If the Angels do move or the Dodgers need a secondary playing field, AEG or whoever is gonna run the stadium, could easily configure the field to accommodate both football or baseball. and since neither of their seasons overlap, unless both teams are in the playoffs, hosting two different teams from two different sports makes very good sense. and adds to the amount of time the stadium will be used.
