LAFC Stadium is the working title for the soccer-specific stadium to be built for the expansion Major League Soccer team Los Angeles FC. On May 17, 2015, the Los Angeles Times reported the team chose the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena site to build a 22,000-seat stadium, costing $250 million. The group estimated the project would create 1,200 temporary construction jobs and 1,800 full-time jobs, generating $2.5 million in annual tax revenue.[1] The environmental impact report, arena demolition and stadium construction are expected to take three years and delay the team's debut to 2018.
The Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena is expected to be demolished in June 2016 and construction of the stadium is expected to commence in October 2016.[2] On May 6, 2016, the Los Angeles City Council approved the stadium clearing way for construction of the stadium.
