The joint venture between the ownership group led by Magic Johnson and soon-to-be former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt for land around Dodger Stadium will not allow McCourt to reap any profits from parking revenue, according to three sources with knowledge of the situation.

The new ownership group, which entered into a $2.15 billion deal to purchase the Dodgers on Tuesday night, has control over the parking lots and land around the stadium. McCourt, the sources said, is in line to see future profit from the land only if it is developed in the future. However, according to two sources, there is no plan for development in the near future.

In other words, when Dodgers fans park their cars at Dodger Stadium, all of that money will go back to the team, not McCourt.

"Frank's not involved in the team, baseball, any of that," Mark Walter, CEO of Guggenheim Partners (who will become the controlling owner of the Dodgers once the sale is final and baseball's owners officially approve it), told ESPNLosAngeles.com on Wednesday.

"What Frank does have is an economic interest in land, but we control the parking and all the fan experience and that's of the utmost importance to us," Walter said.

The new ownership group paid McCourt $150 million for the land around Dodger Stadium, which contains the parking lots, and the right to control it. McCourt also received a share valued at $150 million to retain some of the land rights, but those rights are controlled by the new ownership group.

The land around the stadium was not part of the initial sale offering because it was held by one of McCourt's companies that did not seek bankruptcy protection.

The City of LA took the land where Dodger Stadium sits by eminent domain. It is the furthest thing from private property.



I didn’t know this. In that case, carry on.

Yeah, I’m sure the Dodgers would be more welcoming after a week of that.

The city of Los Angeles owns the land where dodger stadium sits. The parking lot is owned by the new owner and old owner. Are you alleging someone’s 4th Amendment rights are being violated by a police presence in the parking lot?


Would you have preferred, from a constitutional standpoint, ICE was in the stadium?

The stadium deal in Los Angeles was something of an outlier, since the Dodgers paid for the land on Chavez Ravine and paid for the construction of Dodger Stadium.

The city no longer owns the land, pal

If the police were in a parking lot that is privately owned, like it is here it can certainly lead to unlawful search

Plenty of hate out there, but calling them shitty?

Let me add to it. Have ICE helicopters circling the perimeter the entire game while sweeping search lights. Sweep the stadium a few times with the lights.. OOPS! Didn't mean to blind the Dodgers batter in a crucial hit situation. OH...sorry the Dodgers' outfielder lost that ball in the search lights.


Booooooooooo...

Chavez ravine is adjacent to the stadium. PAL.

You just moved the goal post from saying the city owned the land of the stadium

When Frank McCourt owned the Dodgers, his divorce from Jaimie left him with 1 thing, the parking lot concessions.

Just sit outside the parking lot and wait. They have to leave sometime.

It does. Do you not know what adjacent means?
