Bob Iger, Disney chairman and CEO, joins NFL stadium project in Carson, California
- 8 years ago
The company formed to bring the San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders to a facility it's planning in Carson, California, announced Wednesday that - if the NFL approves the plan - Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger would be responsible for hiring its president.
Carson Holdings, a joint venture formed this year by the Chargers and Raiders, named Iger its nonexecutive chairman.
Should the league allow the teams to move, Iger would hire the executive responsible for overseeing the day-to-day functioning of the $1.7 billion stadium that would be built on a 168-acre plot of land that is located 13 miles south of downtown Los Angeles.
The appointment won't affect Iger's job as chairman and CEO of Disney, and the contract between the two allows Iger to recuse himself in situations of conflict.
