"The 53-acre parcel, now used mostly for parking, has attracted wide interest from builders who hope to capitalize on the city's sports venues, the baseball stadium and the Honda Center arena.

The developer's bid of $150 million, is three times what a professional football team would pay to build an arena on the site. The plan calls for the construction of high-rise retail, office and residential complex.

"But the competition has left the city at a crossroads -- fulfilling its dream of adding a professional football team to its stable of sports franchises, or reaping huge profits by selling off valuable land to a developer."
