The NFL will send a staff contingent to Southern California within the next month to investigate potential stadium sites that do not include the Coliseum or Anaheim, according to sources inside and outside the league. League officials are known to be interested in Chavez Ravine and believed to be considering an undisclosed location in the City of Industry. At the same time, NFL executives plan to approach an owners advisory committee, asking it to venture outside league policy and consider Los Angeles for a future Super Bowl even though the city does not have a franchise. Given the difficult history between the NFL and Southern California since the Raiders and Rams left more than a decade ago, it is difficult to know whether any of these developments might result in significant progress.
