The City Council has approved plans to build a $250 million stadium for Major League Soccer's expansion Los Angeles Football Club.
The council voted, 12-0, Friday to move forward with a 22,000-seat stadium on the site of the old Sports Arena next to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and USC.
The 15-acre complex is also slated to include a conference center, restaurants, 140,000 square feet of plazas and streetscapes, and a soccer museum.
