The owner of the St. Louis Rams has purchased a 60-acre parking lot located
between the Forum and Hollywood Park in Los Angeles.
公羊队老板(也是NBA金块队老板)，在最近买入了一座位在洛杉矶市区，湖人队旧球场
与Hollywood Park之间，面积60英亩的停车场。
注：简单说就是这停车场位于Inglewood
Wal-Mart originally owned the land, but sold it after failing to receive
public approval for a store. Stan Kroenke, owner of the Rams, is a former
board member of Wal-Mart and husband of one of Bud Walton's daughters.
此地的原先拥有者是知名购物超市Wal-Mart，但在无法得到当地政府开店许可后，
被迫卖出此地。而公羊老板Stan Kroenke，因为与Wal-Mart创办人的姻亲关系，
加上之前也曾是Wal-Mart经营团队的一员，顺势买下了此地的地权。
Los Angeles has been without an NFL franchise since after the 1994 season.
众所皆知NFL并没有以洛杉矶作为属地的球队，但这干旱期已经长达20年。
This marks the first time an NFL owner has purchased land in Los Angeles
capable of accommodating a stadium.
而这也是洛城民众希望有球队回归此地的声浪中，第一次发生有NFL现役老板在LA地区
买地的情形。当然，这也不免让人联想Kroenke可能会将此空地当做新球场。
Los Angeles already has two other competing NFL stadium proposals, with one
next to Staples Center and the other in the City of Industry.
除了Kroenke的购地外，LA还有两个NFL球场的备案，一个就在Staples Center隔壁，
另一个则在LA郊外，地名即说明地区性质的工业市。
