The LA Breakfast Club Salutes the Olympics with the LA Memorial Coliseum!

ABOUT THE COLISEUM: Home to the USC football team since 1923, and a designated National Historic Landmark, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum has the most diverse and all encompassing history of any stadium in the world. It has hosted two Super Bowls (I and VII), a World Series (1959), two Summer Olympics (Xth Olympiad in 1932 and XXIIIrd Olympiad in 1984) and soon a third: XXXIVth Olympiad in 2028.

Along with the adjacent Sports Arena, which closed its doors in 2016, the Coliseum is credited with helping to start the migration of professional sports teams to the West Coast. The complex provided a home for the Rams (1946-79, returning again in 2016), the Dodgers (1958-61), and the Lakers (1960-67), and has also been home to a variety of Southern California teams, including: the Raiders (1982-94), UCLA Football (1933-81), and the Clippers (1984-99).

The Coliseum has also welcomed legendary events, such as entertainer Evel Knievel (1973), a Papal Mass by Pope John Paul II (1987), Nelson Mandela’s “Crusade against Apartheid” (1990), and visits from several U.S. Presidents (FDR, JFK, and Reagan, to name a few).
