The new stadium will cost an estimated $1 billion; the city will pay $200 million. The city said the $200 million would come from taxes on hotel rooms rather than from Atlanta residents.

"I am pleased that we reached an agreement that will ensure the Atlanta Falcons remain in the heart of our city for many years to come and will lead to revitalization of some of the city’s most historic neighborhoods,"

A new stadium for the Falcons would be something I look forward to. The Falcons are growing in popularity again and this will continue the snowballing effect of it.

New Farmers Field in Los Angeles: Which NFL team will move there?

Yesterday this video was revealed at the proposed new stadium in Los Angeles. Built right next to Staples Center, this new stadium could be the new home of an NFL team. And it could lead to a potential Olympic bid and a return to a Super Bowl.

Farmers Field is an idea that hopefully is in the works. With me now being a resident of the Los Angeles area, I will have to wonder which NFL team could make this their new home.

The Vikings might be staying in Minnesota and the Jaguars have made every effort to stay in Florida. But the city of Los Angeles needs a football team and this new stadium will make a push for it.

Will there be an NFL team in LA again? We’ll see as the ball continues to roll.
