Was there last year. The area around the coliseum has a grouping of museums around it and USC. It isn't a shit hole but not a great neighbourhood. South Central still is South Central.

Yes because Yankee stadium and 90% of all stadiums are usually in very affluent areas
I think you missed my point. It's not that a stadium has to be built in a bad area, but the proximity of the stadium to anything else of interest.
If you look at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, SafeCo in Seattle, etc., there are stadiums around the country located downtown. The best is probably where the Giants play in San Francisco. I just meant the proximity to Midtown Manhattan would require a stadium no further than South Harlem - south of 125th St.
Back to the LAFC Stadium - didn't realize that the area around USC was coming around. That's great.
MagnusPax What I had read is that they wanted to build this on campus or right near campus and it would be a dual use stadium for USC and LAFC.LAFC - Red and Gold? Unofficial nickname "Trojans?"
EDIT: Oh god, maybe we should be the Trojans. We looked like a MLS team, until we opened it up and SURPRISE - MAN CITY!

The runner up stadium is amazing (minus the beach/pool, that's just stupid). Let's be honest here if the players get free agency and the cap goes up as much as a lot of us expect. It looks like Fox and ESPN got a fucking steal on their TV deal. The MLS trajectory is pointed way up.
It's my understanding that it will be on campus, where the arena is now at Exhibition Place. I would Imsgine there's some cross use with school, but I've never read any concrete plans. Certainly won't be their football team.I think you missed my point. It's not that a stadium has to be built in a bad area, but the proximity of the stadium to anything else of interest.

I was really liking it until that Indoor Beach thing.......ugh. It's almost as bad as Tampa Bay and their stupid Pirate ship thing.
There's actually 2 proposals.
The beach one and another more "serious" one without the beach...
Both were obviously turned down.
I think I could get used to the in-stadium pool thing...
Jacksonville has a few pools around the stadium:

LAFC closer to choosing a site? Maybe

if their shirt sponsor was TROJAN, that'd be killer, automatic jersey of the year.
I feel like there have been rumors that it would go there since the day after the team was announced. I'd be somewhat surprised if it didn't happen at this point.
Lot of quality tight ends on that roster. Best I could do would be provide some depth.I think I could get used to the in-stadium pool thing...
