Dodger bidder would raze stadium
L.A. real estate developer Alan Casden says if he's successful in buying the Los Angeles Dodgers from Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, he'd knock down Dodger Stadium and replace it with a new stadium near the Staples Center in downtown L.A. "They knock down stadiums all the time," Casden told the L.A. Times. "Dodger Stadium is not an antique. It's not Frank Lloyd Wright. It's a nice place to play baseball, but there are far better." Casden also said he could build a new stadium without public money, financing construction with the proceeds of housing complexes he'd build on the Dodger Stadium site. We've heard these sort of promises before, needless to say; stay tuned.
