Los Angeles Coliseum
Los Angeles, CA

Site of the Olympic Games, the Super Bowl and the World Series, the Los Angeles Coliseum has hosted many great games during its existence. Although many teams have played at the coliseum over the years, one has been constant, the University of Southern California Trojans. Construction of a football stadium for the Los Angeles area began in the early 1920s. Completed in less than two years, the USC Trojans played the first game ever at the Coliseum on October 6, 1923 against Pomona College. Nearly 76,000 bleacher seats circled the entire field. By 1930, the City of Los Angeles was awarded the 1932 Olympics. Over $950,000 was spent to enlarge the stadium to seat nearly 101,000 fans for the Olympics. Although built primarily for football in April 1958, the Los Angeles Dodgers (MLB) moved to the coliseum while their baseball stadium was constructed.

In 1959, a football game between USC and Ohio State was played at the coliseum. A hour after its completion, the first World Series game in California was played. The Dodgers moved out of the coliseum after the 1961 season. After its addition in the 1930s, the Los Angeles Coliseum changed very little until the 1990s. Beginning in February 1993, $15 million in renovations were completed to the coliseum. Actual seats were installed, replacing the bleachers and fourteen rows of seats were added, raising the capacity to around 92,000 after the field was lowered 14 feet. Unfortunately, a massive earthquake in 1994 required over $93 million in repairs. Prior to the 1995 season, a new press box was constructed at a cost of $6 million. Although the stadium has a seating capacity of 92,000, the Trojans often cover some of the seats to give it a capacity of 68,000. Other than being the home of the Trojans, the Los Angeles Coliseum has also been the home of the Raiders and Rams of the NFL. The Coliseum has been the home of many great sporting events from the 1932 and 1984 Olympics to World Series and Super Bowl games. Over the past several years, the Trojan football team has had great success at the Coliseum, including being ranked the number one team in the nation several times.
