History of the Legendary ICONIC L.A. MEMORIAL COLISEUM 🇺🇸🏅🌎

Описание: Known as “The Greatest Stadium in the World,” the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1984, is a living memorial to all who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War I and a civic treasure for generations of Angelenos. Located in the Exposition Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, the Coliseum is a 77,500-capacity stadium, over a century old, overflowing with unequaled legacy and future promise.

The legacy of events and individuals hosted in nine-plus-decades reads like no other. The Coliseum is the only venue to host opening and closing ceremonies and the Track and Field Competition for two Summer Olympics (X Olympiad in 1932, XXIII Olympiad in 1984) and soon a third (XXXIV Olympiad in 2028); home to college football’s USC Trojans since 1923 and the UCLA Bruins (1933-1981); professional football’s Los Angeles Rams (1946-1979 and 2016-2019), Raiders (1982-1994) and Chargers (1960); hosting three NFL Championships and two Super Bowls (I and VII); home to the Los Angeles Dodgers (1958-1960) and the 1959 World Series; appearances by U.S. Presidents Franklin D Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan; and international dignitaries such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Cesar Chavez, Pope John Paul II, the Dalai Lama, and Nelson Mandela. From Mick Jagger to the Harlem Globetrotters, the Grateful Dead to Billy Graham, Evel Knievel to Pele, the Memorial Coliseum, named a National and California Historic Landmark in 1984, has been the stage for the unbelievable, the unforgettable, the iconic, and the best in human endeavor and achievement.
