AEG's Farmers Field died, Majestic Realty's Los Angeles Stadium remained the forgotten stepchild, and the NFL pretended to still be interested in Los Angeles as a football market.

(Unlike AEG, Majestic has not obtained naming rights for their proposed venue.) At the crux of the battle between the two stadiums is an extension of a decades-long conflict between Los Angeles as city and Los Angeles as suburb.
