Walt Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger has been selected by the National Football League's San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders to head their proposed stadium project in the Los Angeles suburb of Carson.
Iger, who will remain in his Disney posts, will serve as the non-executive chair of the joint venture Carson Holdings and oversee stadium design, naming rights and fan experience.
The appointment was announced Wednesday. The NFL is holding committee meetings at its headquarters in New York City and is scheduled to hear presentations from the cities of San Diego, St. Louis and Oakland about why those markets should keep their teams.
