CLIPPERS MIGHT BUILD ARENA

The city council of Inglewood, Calif., unanimously approved an exclusive negotiating agreement with a Los Angeles Clippers company to use city-owned land to build an arena, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times. The agreement opens the door for the city and the Clippers to pursue development of a 20,000seat arena. It would be on a 20acre parcel across the street from the under-construction, $2.6 billion NFL stadium that will be home to the Chargers and Rams. Clippers owner Steve Ballmer has been public about his desire for a new arena since he bought the team for $2 billion in 2014. The Clippers have a lease to play at Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles through 2024.
