Introduction

The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, opened in 1932 and designed by John and Donald Parkinson in a blend of classical and modern peristyle style, is one of America's most historically significant sports venues. It is the only stadium in the world to have hosted two Summer Olympics (1932 and 1984), and will be used for a record third time at the 2028 Los Angeles Games. With capacity for 77,000 spectators, it has hosted the Super Bowl, World Cup final, World Series, and Olympic ceremonies. The iconic Olympic torch and peristyle colonnade are architectural signatures; plaques commemorating the 1932 and 1984 Games remain on site. As home to the USC Trojan football team, autumn game days are electric. Adjacent to the California Science Center and Natural History Museum, the Coliseum anchors the Exposition Park sports-science-culture complex.
