USC to Los Angeles, we don’t need your stinkin’ Coliseum
With USC threatening to move its home games to Pasadena’s Rose Bowl, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa called for a long-term deal to keep the Trojans in the Memorial Coliseum, saying for the first time he has given up hope of the National Football League returning to the aging stadium.
Interestingly, the story fails to mention the prospects of a United Football League team playing in Los Angeles. Sure they haven’t played their first snap, but it’s obvious that Los Angeles is at the top of the list for the UFL’s opening season roster. The UFL has stated that they’re looking for stadiums that are more in the 35,000-55,000 seating capacity range, in Los Angeles the choice really comes down to the Coliseum or the Rose Bowl. Any bets as to where the UFL will end up? (Link)
