Dodgers plan stadium start six months from now
Walter O Malley told the Rotary Club the Dodgers aim to begin a Chavez Ravine stadium project within six months with city officials confident the legal issues will be resolved in that period. Superior Judge Praeger had ruled a contract with the city invalid in a taxpayer suit, with a conference set for next week on the legal findings and an appeal likely after judgment. Voters had approved the Dodgers Chavez Ravine deal in the June 3 election, while another taxpayer suit challenges the referendum certification due to Praeger’s decision.
