The city of Carson, about 17 miles (27 km) south of downtown Los Angeles, has collected 14,000 resident signatures in support of building a $1.7 billion stadium, following a petition drive paid for by the two NFL teams, both of which previously played in Los Angeles. While Carson's city council was expected to vote on the plan on Tuesday, it also has the option of putting it to voters this summer, city spokeswoman Margie Revilla-Garcia said. A rival stadium project in the nearby city of Inglewood was unanimously approved by its city council in February.
