NEW YORK (AP) Red Hot Chili Peppers are welcoming home the Los Angeles Rams.

Under the agreement, the Rams have agreed to cover the cost of police and related city services for all home games, including retroactively paying for the two preseason games last month at the Coliseum. Scheduled to play three seasons at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum before moving into a new stadium in Inglewood, the Rams could soon be worth close to $4 billion if Stan Kroenke scores with his $3 billion mixed-use real estate project. Hyundai also will advertise on the Coach Fisher Show that will air every Saturday from 6:30 p.m.to 7:30 p.m. PT on KCBS, and will run advertisements on both the Rams English and Spanish gameday radio broadcasts for home and away games.
For the two preseason games held at the Coliseum, Zine’s lawsuit filed on August 31 stated the city deployed more than 200 on-duty LAPD officers to provide security, traffic control and other city services.
After 21 years of waiting, Los Angeles football fans opened the 2016 NFL season with a team of their own this past Monday night.
An attorney representing Zine and Bibeau didn’t respond to a request for comment Tuesday. Only off-duty police officers will provide security outside the Coliseum during games.
Rams players, cheerleaders, staff, and mascot Rampage, will all be in attendance for this special event. Such a permit is routinely filed by private organizations seeking to throw large functions. “We are pleased to have reached an agreement with Mayor Garcetti and his team”.
Union officials released a statement saying they are “pleased that the Rams receipt of taxpayer-funded police patrols to secure their games will now end and that they will pay their bill”.

“Keeping police officers on duty fighting crime was the reason the league exposed this arrangement”, the Police Protective League said.
