Farmers Field was a planned sports and events stadium in Downtown Los Angeles, California. The project, spearheaded in 2010 by outgoing Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) president Tim Leiweke and former Los Angeles Avengers owner Casey Wasserman, was to be located at the current site of the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center, adjacent to Staples Center. The project marked AEG's second attempt at building a stadium there following a similar proposal in 2002. The Los Angeles City Council approved the project in a 12-0 vote in 2012, with the hope of the region fielding an NFL team for the first time since the Rams and Raiders left the Los Angeles area. AEG abandoned the project in March 2015, after the Rams, Raiders and San Diego Chargers (the three most likely candidates for relocation) all proposed their own stadium plans in the event they were to relocate to Los Angeles.
