Los Angeles Stadium Launches Fantasy Football League
First Place Prize: Weekend for Two at the Pacific Palms Resort
LOS ANGELES - Today the Los Angeles Football Stadium (www.LosAngelesFootballStadium.com) announced the creation of a fantasy football league geared specifically for Angelenos who want the NFL to return to Los Angeles.
"With the start of the NFL season just around the corner, we wanted to create a fun and interactive outlet for Angelenos who want the NFL to return to Los Angeles," stated Edward P. Roski, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer of Majestic Realty Co., one of the largest commercial real estate firms in Southern California.
"Our fantasy football league is designed on the premise that if the Los Angeles Football Stadium were built tomorrow and you could build the team from scratch, who would be on your team?"
The "Los Angeles Stadium" is a state-of-the-art NFL stadium for Los Angeles. The Stadium will be a premiere Southern California tourist attraction with world-class entertainment, restaurants and retail open year-round. The site is conveniently located east of downtown in the center of the greater Southern California market, providing easy access to residents of Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire. The Stadium will be constructed with private funds and be built into a hillside, thus dramatically reducing construction time, materials and cost.
MORE INFO ON THE LEAGUE: The Los Angeles Football Stadium will serve as commissioner, and an unlimited number of fans will be allowed to participate. The Stadium's fantasy football league offers a unique format to accommodate a large number of participants:
-Each participant will register to the league and create a team name.
-Every week, they will submit a starting lineup to consist of 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 PK and 1 defense.
-Weekly, they can choose to change their team's players or keep their team as is (unless one of their players does not have a game scheduled that week).
It will maintain the same basic skills and strategies associated with standard fantasy football leagues, but this particular format eliminates the need for a draft at the start of the season and the need for weekly trades and transactions.
There is also a first place prize for a weekend at Pacific Palms Resort (http://www.pacificpalmsresort.com/), a full-service resort set against the majestic San Gabriel Mountains. The package is for two people and will include Golf and Spa.
The league will run for the entire NFL regular season and fans can sign up at http://www.losangelesfootballstadium.com/ffl.
