Casey Wasserman and Tim Leiweke have investigated the probability of building a 72,000-seat stadium behind Staples Center, where the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center now sits.

In December Leiweke set a deadline anticipating a cleared negotiation with Los Angeles over control of the current convention center and ownership of the land and an agreement with the NFL over the likelihood of a team moving to Los Angeles.

AEG owner Philip Anschutz currently is not in support of the project. Anschutz has discussed with five teams: former Los Angeles teams San Diego Chargers, St. Louis Rams, and Oakland Raiders, plus Minnesota Vikings.

The Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars and San Francisco 49ers are no longer candidates for relocation.

On August 9, 2011, the LA City Council approved plans to build Farmers Field in a 12-0 vote. The stadium will become home to an NFL team and is expected to open in 2016.

So, who do you think will play in Farmers Field?
