THE EXPANSION & FUTURIZATION PROJECT

The purpose of this report is to provide the background, current status, and proposed next steps for the future of the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC). On October 18, 2012, the City entered into a two-year agreement with Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) to construct a National Football League (NFL) Stadium and Event Center at the current location of the Convention Center’s West Hall. That agreement has now been extended to April 17, 2015, to allow AEG additional time to secure the commitment of a NFL football team. The City has successfully accomplished all of the tasks it committed to perform to make the return of the NFL to the City of Los Angeles (City) a reality. A suitable site has been identified, a preliminary design by AEG has been approved, the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been certified, and a mutually acceptable business transaction between AEG and the City has been executed. The ultimate success of the effort now rests solely with AEG and the National Football League.

Nudging Government to Use Evidence

whitePaper | March 30, 2022

Why have we written disparaging statements about government when our firm is so deeply committed to public sector excellence? These include statements like “as the fire rages on, our governments seem powerless” and “hunches no longer pass for evidence these days, unless we’re talking about government policy.” We have compared the policy-making process to a chaotic game of tag and suggested that government policymakers can act as seemingly irrational as Cosmo Kramer did on Seinfeld.
