It seems like the only money the airport makes anymore must come from the entertainment industry - I laugh every time a tv show claims to be at LAX when the architecture is so obviously ONT.

There are people in LA who don't work in the entertainment industry? I think ONT's demise is partly due to a growing unwillingness to deal with traffic. I don't even consider BUR from where I live, only a few miles further than LAX. Sports teams in LA face similar issues.
