Garber said one of the stadium sites under consideration is on the University of Southern California campus south of downtown. However, he added that its possible the new stadium wont be located downtown.There was enormous interest in purchasing rights to our new team in Los Angeles, he said.Garber described the new ownership as really committed and passionate, and he said many of the owners will reside in Los Angeles.The commissioner said the region deserves another chance at having two MLS teams because of its size, and the large number of soccer fans and interested sponsors.Having two teams in Los Angeles doesnt mean that we might not through expansion have teams in many markets, he said.
