LOS ANGELES, April 11 (UPI) -- A football stadium proposed for downtown Los Angeles may require county approval, official records show.
The Los Angeles Times reports the city and county of Los Angeles are bound by a 1967 agreement drafted to build and run the convention center, where the stadium would be built.
Anschutz Entertainment Group, which is proposing the NFL stadium, has not sought the county's aid.
"We're not asking anything out of the county because we don't want to deal with them," AEG President Tim Leiweke told the Times earlier this year, and last week an AEG spokesman said, "We don't anticipate the involvement of the county or the board of supervisors."
City and county officials last voted to change the Convention Center agreement 13 years ago to allow the construction of AEG's Staples Center. AEG now wants to move and upgrade part of the center to make room for the football park.
Ellen Sandt, the county's deputy chief executive, said the $1.4 billion stadium project could require a board of supervisors vote.
