Hey, over here! (L.A. Stories).The L.A. Galaxy, reigning Major League Soccer champs, expects to add to their fan base with the move into the $130 million, 27,000-seat Home Depot The Home Depot (NYSE: HD) is an American retailer of home improvement and construction products and services. Headquartered in Vinings, just outside Atlanta in unincorporated Cobb County, Georgia, Home Depot employs more than 355,000 people and operates 2,164 big-box National Training Center in Carson this spring. The facility, under construction by Anschutz Entertainment Group The Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) is a sporting and music entertainment presenter and a subsidiary of The Anschutz Corporation. The company owns or operates several major entertainment/sporting venues, including Staples Center and The Home Depot Center and beginning in , has already been pegged as the site of the 2003 MLS See multilevel security. All-Star Game An all-star game is an exhibition game played by the best players in their sports league. The players are often chosen by a popular vote of fans of the sport and the game often occurs at the halfway point of the regular season, although this is not the case for some all-star games and MLS Cup. But when the L.A. Sports & Entertainment Commission came out with its annual listing of all the games played by city's sports teams, the Galaxy was noticeably absent. The commission contacted the team before the calendar went to press last month only to learn the MLS had yet to make its 2003 schedule public. "All we could do it put months they are scheduled to play in the (calendar's) blank squares," said Adrianna Correa, a commission spokeswoman. In case you're wondering, the Galaxy will begin defending its title sometime in April. |
