@tensosea The host country does not decide aspects of the tournament like rules, regulations, etc. The individual cities and their municipality decide what the fan experience outside the stadium will be like. But beyond that, they have little say.
@mgmtarham The parking area is not the same owner as the stadium itself.
The owner refuses to sell.
Dodgers want to develop that entire space and consolidate the parking into parking garages...but they want without the current owners selling them the property.
@Calebej37 Governance is fragmented in LA. It's not as cohesive.
Santa Monica has its own mayor and city council. So even though its in LA County proper, what happens there wont apply to city of LA and vice versa.
