The Greatest Stadium in the World
About us
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), the Chargers (1960), Clippers (1984-99), USC Basketball (1959-2006), UCLA Basketball (1959-65), the Cobras (1988, Arena Football), Ice Dogs (1995-96, IHL), Blades (1961-1967), Sharks (1972-74, WHA), Stars (1968-70, ABA) and Kings (1967, NHL). The Coliseum has also welcomed a wide range of diverse and legendary events, such as entertainer Evel Knievel (1973), a Papal Mass by Pope John Paul II (1987), Nelson Mandela’s “Crusade against Apartheid” (1990), visits from several U.S. Presidents (FDR, JFK, and Reagan, to name a few), and endless sold-out concerts from such iconic artists as Pink Floyd, U2, The Who, Metallica, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, and many more. We’re celebrating 100 years in 2023! For more information about the legacy of the “Greatest Stadium in the World,“ we welcome you to visit coliseumforever.com.

92 years ago today, Los Angeles hosted its first Summer Olympics Games! The 1932 Games premiered the use of a three-tier medal podium and the permanent addition of the Olympic cauldron and rings to the Coliseum's iconic peristyle. In addition to opening & closing ceremonies, the Coliseum held competitions for track & field, equestrian, lacrosse, and even gymnastics! We're up next after Paris! The countdown to #LA28 is on 🔥

Earth Day is every day at the LA Coliseum! This year, we are proud to have achieved 92.2% waste diversion at NASCAR's Busch Light Clash and donated 2,300 pounds of food to local food banks in February alone. We also are excited to take part in Kimberly-Clark's RightCycle Program by returning our food service gloves to have them recycled. We're energized about these new initiatives and eager to develop new ways to reduce our footprint 🌱
