However, the owner of the Raiders refused the deal due to the fact that the team would have to share the stadium with another team. In 2015, the owners of the Hollywood Park Land Company announced that a multipurpose venue stadium would be developed for the NFL in partnership with Kroenke Sports and Entertainment. Eventually, the Inglewood Council approved the plan and cleared the way for the construction to begin.
