Proposed NFL stadium in Inglewood faces FAA scrutiny over height, effects on radar - LA Times
According to the Los Angeles Times, the report states that "The configuration of the stadium between the two runways (24R - 24L and 25R - 25L) coupled with the uncertainty of its reflective properties is the root cause of the objection to this proposal."

The report comes as the proposed stadium has been entitled and designed, and planners say that much of the work to prepare the 290-acre site for construction has been completed.

 “Any breakthrough of the false target rejection processing will allow false beacon targets to appear near or on the critical approach corridors to LAX. In its current location, the evaluating analyst must be absolutely convinced that there can rarely be a false target on any of the approaches resulting from its construction.
