LOS ANGELES — The former West Coast headquarters for the N.F.L., the most popular North American professional sports league, was tucked away in Culver City, Calif., a residential Los Angeles suburb, and its neighbors included a mosque, an assisted-living facility and an elementary school.
A window on one side of the building is spattered with cracks, and drivers passing by could miss the N.F.L. Network branding near the entrance because a palm tree partially covers the logo. Inside, the broadcast audio technology was so outdated that employees needed to order parts from eBay because suppliers no longer sold them.
