PHILADELPHIA — The NFL is so eager to get back into the Los Angeles area that it will spend up to $10 million looking into the viability of a stadium in Carson.
Commissioner Paul Tagliabue also said Tuesday the league is just as interested in the development of a state-of-the-art stadium in Pasadena, site of the Rose Bowl. But the NFL has made no financial commitment to investigating any projects there.
John Moag, the Baltimore investment banker hired by the Rose Bowl Operating Co. to lead its bid, said he presented Pasadena's offer to Tagliabue in a morning meeting.
Moag said the offer was passed unanimously by the Pasadena City Council late Monday night and he expects to hear Tagliabue's response later this week.
