I don't think it'd be a disappointment for LA overall.
There's a ton of parking at Exposition Park and I feel that park is in dire need of another museum. It'd be an excellent get for the area.
That said, I really hope the museum falls into LA's hands. I'm thankful for NIMBYs in making it unnecessarily difficult for Lucas to bring his museum to Chicago. Sucks for people living in Chicago but if it may benefit LA, I'm all for it. And has LA offered Lucas a deal similar to the one offered to Eli Broad? Maybe that could win Lucas over.
