AEG apparently has deployed the “if we can’t build a football stadium in L.A., no one will” playbook.

Despite AEG’s abandonment of plans to build an NFL stadium in downtown Los Angeles, AEG has now taken the offensive against both of the primary proposals that currently are racing to be approved and adopted. Previously, AEG commissioned former Director of Homeland Security Tom Ridge to dub a potential Inglewood stadium (where the Rams would play) a “terrorism event ‘twofer,'” due to the possibility that a plane otherwise landing at LAX could be steered into the venue.

Now, AEG has urged the mayor of Carson to reconsider plans to build a football stadium (where the Chargers and Raiders would play) in the vicinity of the AEG-owned StubHub Center (pictured), which hosts the MLS L.A. Galaxy, along with soccer, cycling, boxing, tennis, concerts, and other events.

According to the Torrance (Cal.) Daily Breeze, a six-page letter from AEG chief legal and development officer Ted Fikre points out the problem of “substantial overlap” between the MLS and NFL seasons, and expresses concern about the fast-track nature of the project.

“With the proposed initiative, there is no review under [state environmental law], no public process and no public dialogue about the types of benefits provided by other large-scale projects such as the ones AEG has developed through a thorough and transparent public process involving extensive community input,” Fikre wrote. “We have a very substantial investment in Carson, which will be placed at risk if a loophole is exploited to avoid and evade the protections described above.”

It’s hard not to regard AEG’s effort as sour grapes, given the company’s own failure to get a stadium built despite having a head start for years to get a deal done. It’s also hard not to regard AEG’s effort as a way to derail both currently viable projects in the hopes of renewing plans to build an AEG-backed stadium, in downtown L.A. or elsewhere in the area.
