Anaheim Hires Consultants for Stadium Talks
Anaheim has hired two consultants to boost its shot at being chosen as the site of a professional football stadium.
Financial advisory firm MZ Sports LLC and sports business consultant David Carter will help the city through the complex negotiations, Anaheim officials said Tuesday.
Anaheim is one of four Southern California cities the National Football League is considering in its efforts to bring a team to the country’s second-largest media market in time for the 2008 season.
The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, the Los Angeles Coliseum and Anaheim are considered the top contenders. A fourth location -- a toxic landfill in Carson -- faces significant cleanup obstacles.
Carter, a principal at the Sports Business Group, said he would help Anaheim with negotiating issues as well as with broader strategy discussions.
