NFL Requests Industry Stadium Name Change
According to an Associated Press and Los Angeles Times report, the NFL asked Majestic Realty to change the stated location of the project to "Grand Crossing."
While the NFL is still working out the details of a labor agreement with its players, an agreement to change the name Majestic Realty's proposed stadium project in the city of Industry was reached with ease.
The stadium will no longer be referred to by its city of residence but will be called "Grand Crossing," according to a report by the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press.
Majestic Realty VP John Semcken told the Times on Thursday that the NFL asked him to change the name of the city hosting the project because of a perceived "negative impression" the NFL has of the city of Industry.
