The owner of the St. Louis Rams has purchased a 60-acre parking lot located
between the Forum and Hollywood Park in Los Angeles.
公羊隊老闆(也是NBA金塊隊老闆)，在最近買入了一座位在洛杉磯市區，湖人隊舊球場
與Hollywood Park之間，面積60英畝的停車場。
註：簡單說就是這停車場位於Inglewood
Wal-Mart originally owned the land, but sold it after failing to receive
public approval for a store. Stan Kroenke, owner of the Rams, is a former
board member of Wal-Mart and husband of one of Bud Walton's daughters.
此地的原先擁有者是知名購物超市Wal-Mart，但在無法得到當地政府開店許可後，
被迫賣出此地。而公羊老闆Stan Kroenke，因為與Wal-Mart創辦人的姻親關係，
加上之前也曾是Wal-Mart經營團隊的一員，順勢買下了此地的地權。
Los Angeles has been without an NFL franchise since after the 1994 season.
眾所皆知NFL並沒有以洛杉磯作為屬地的球隊，但這乾旱期已經長達20年。
This marks the first time an NFL owner has purchased land in Los Angeles
capable of accommodating a stadium.
而這也是洛城民眾希望有球隊回歸此地的聲浪中，第一次發生有NFL現役老闆在LA地區
買地的情形。當然，這也不免讓人聯想Kroenke可能會將此空地當做新球場。
Los Angeles already has two other competing NFL stadium proposals, with one
next to Staples Center and the other in the City of Industry.
除了Kroenke的購地外，LA還有兩個NFL球場的備案，一個就在Staples Center隔壁，
另一個則在LA郊外，地名即說明地區性質的工業市。
