LOS ANGELES MEMORIAL COLISEUM

The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum stands as a storied icon in the heart of Los Angeles, California. Constructed in 1923, its rich history intertwines with the city's cultural fabric. Originally built as a memorial to honor World War I veterans, the Coliseum evolved into a versatile venue, hosting a myriad of events ranging from concerts to political rallies. However, it was in the realm of sports where the Coliseum truly left an indelible mark.

During the era when the Dodgers played at the Coliseum, from 1958 to 1961, it became an emblem of baseball's westward expansion. In 1958, the Dodgers made history by relocating from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, bringing Major League Baseball to the West Coast for the first time. The Coliseum, with its capacity to hold over 90,000 spectators, served as the Dodgers' temporary home until Dodger Stadium was completed in 1962. The unique dimensions of the Coliseum, notably its short left-field fence due to its oval shape, presented challenges and opportunities for players, contributing to the lore surrounding the venue. This era not only marked the Dodgers' transition to a new city but also catalyzed the growth of baseball's popularity in California, laying the groundwork for the sport's enduring legacy on the West Coast.
