AEG's proposed stadium is estimated to cost $1 billion dollars and while its site may be preferred by city leaders, whether the city is willing to issue $350 million in bonds as AEG has requested is yet to be seen. In addition, AEG has to convince an existing NFL franchise to move to LA, while also convincing the owner to sell the team. There are certainly a couple of franchises that have enough stadium issues to be in play, San Diego and Minnesota, chief among them, but there is as yet no deal. Still, this deal substantially increases the likelihood that a team that comes to LA will be owned by AEG and will play in a downtown Farmers Insurance Stadium.
