"Billionaires have tried and failed. So have political heavyweights, business visionaries, entertainers such as Tom Cruise and Garth Brooks. For eight years, with no luck, people have been trying to bring a professional football team back to Los Angeles... Owners of the National Football League are expected to begin trying again, weighing competing proposals to relocate an NFL team at either the Rose Bowl in Pasadena or at a new stadium that the league would build in Carson. Proponents of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum former home to the Rams and Raiders will try to buttonhole owners to make their own pitch".
