Situated in the Exposition Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is a multi-purpose stadium designed by the Parkinsons in the Streamline Moderne style. Commissioned in 1921 as a memorial to Los Angeles veterans of World War I and completed in 1923, it stands as a landmark of civic pride. The stadium achieved historic significance as host of the Summer Olympics three times—in 1932, 1984, and 2028—making it the first venue to reach this distinction. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1984, the Coliseum has served as home to the University of Southern California Trojans football team and previously hosted the Los Angeles Rams (1946–1979 and 2016–2019), the Los Angeles Dodgers (1958–1961), and major championship events including Super Bowl I and Super Bowl VII. With a permanent seating capacity of 93,607, it was among the largest football stadiums of its era.
