MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The front man for one of two Los Angeles-area groups trying to bring the NFL back to the nation’s second-largest market believes the city will soon get a team.
First, the league must resolve the labor issue with the players and their union. AEG president and CEO Tim Leiweke says his company has “huge admiration” for the NFL and will wait for a new collective bargaining agreement before focusing on the relocation of an existing franchise.
Leiweke tells The Associated Press his group is focused on a number of initiatives, including a naming rights deal for the proposed downtown stadium. He says AEG will “worry about the team at the appropriate time.”
Another group, Majestic Realty Co., has the necessary approvals for a desired suburban stadium.
