The city has been pushing for both a new team and arena for quite a while now and these latest developments can only mean good things. With the support of both the council and local residents, it appears that the NFL could be returning to LA within a few years. There are quite a few hurdles to still jump, though.
Stay tuned to SB Nation Los Angels for complete coverage of any and all updates surrounding the new stadium.
