Description: LOS ANGELES MEMORIAL COLISEUM & SPORTS ARENAThe Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and the Los Angeles Sports Arena are two historic venues that have played key roles in the city’s rich sports culture.Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is an iconic stadium located in Exposition Park, known for its monumental design and historic significance. Opened in 1923, the Coliseum was built as a memorial to U.S. veterans and has since become one of the most recognizable stadiums in America. With a capacity of over 93,000, it has hosted two Olympic Games (1932 and 1984), Super Bowls, and numerous college and professional football games. It served as the home field for the USC Trojans since its opening, while also hosting the Los Angeles Rams (before their move in the 1990s and brief return in the 2010s) and the Los Angeles Raiders during the 1980s and early 1990s. The Coliseum’s distinctive peristyle arches and Olympic cauldron are landmarks that evoke a deep sense of history and pride for Angelenos. In recent years, it has been renovated to modernize the facility while preserving its historic character, continuing to serve as a venue for major events and USC football games.The Los Angeles Sports Arena, which stood near the Coliseum from 1959 until its demolition in 2016, was another essential piece of LA’s sports landscape. Designed as a versatile indoor arena, it hosted a range of sporting events, concerts, and even political gatherings. The Sports Arena served as home court for several basketball teams, including the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers during various periods, and the ABA’s Los Angeles Stars. The Stars, a prominent team in the American Basketball Association, played there from 1968 to 1970, attracting fans with their high-scoring style and energetic play before eventually relocating. The Sports Arena was also home to the USC Trojans basketball teams and hosted major boxing matches and entertainment events over the years. Known for its intimate seating and close-up view of the action, the venue had a unique charm despite being relatively modest compared to today’s modern arenas.Although the Sports Arena has since been replaced by the new Banc of California Stadium, its legacy remains a part of LA’s sports history. Together with the Coliseum, it represented the heart of the city’s sports and entertainment for decades, serving as the stage for a wide array of memorable moments and iconic teams.Used (1973) 4" x 6" deckled continental size chrome postcard.
