Super Bowl Guarantee Doubtful : Football: Negotiations for Inglewood stadium continue, but without commitment from the NFL.

Hopes for the construction of a new football stadium in Inglewood were dealt a blow when an NFL official said Friday he doubted the league would be willing to guarantee a specific number of Super Bowls for the facility.

R.D. Hubbard, chief executive officer of Hollywood Park, said Thursday that a $200-million, 65,000-seat stadium on Hollywood Park property to be used by the Raiders and probably UCLA, will not be built unless the NFL commits to at least three Super Bowls at that site.

Greg Aiello, the NFL’s director of communications, said Commissioner Paul Tagliabue’s much-publicized plan to have five Super Bowls in Los Angeles over a 10-year span, bringing in perhaps as much as $1 billion in revenue, would only have become a reality if a new stadium were constructed here with league funding.

“That was only for a Super Bowl Stadium,” Aiello said. “That shouldn’t be confused with the Hollywood Park project. (The Super Bowl stadium) was not to be done with regard to someone else’s stadium. That’s a major distinction. I don’t think you could get the support of the other (NFL) owners for that many Super Bowls for Hollywood Park to build a stadium.

“The NFL Super Bowl stadium idea came out of a brainstorming session. It’s on the back burner now. It’s nowhere.”

Hubbard was unavailable for comment.

On Thursday, Hubbard said if the stadium is to be built by September, 1997, the deal has to be completed by early next month.

“We’ll continue to work with the Raiders on the construction of a state-of-the-art facility,” Aiello said. “We hope to find the right formula. We are involved in the negotiations, but there have been no promises made. There has never been an offer made. The concept was put on the table of using the Super Bowl in some way to contribute (to the stadium project.)”

Aiello, however, wouldn’t rule out the inclusion of the Super Bowl as some part of a final agreement to build a Hollywood Park stadium.

“In the case of both Atlanta and Minnesota, the assurance of just one Super Bowl was part of the equation resulting in the building of stadiums for those areas,” he said.

“The Los Angeles area has already had seven Super Bowls. It’s worked out well and we would like to continue to play Super Bowls there.

“We will stay involved in the discussions out there and are hopeful something can be done.”
