Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and Arena Review

Great historical building, but not for good use today

If you haven't yet visited the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, you're really missing out. It's a great place to visit and the staff are first-rate people.

Historical venue but to old to host football games now. It's almost impossible to walk in and find out seat.

Great baseball park. Best view in baseball. Parking the only downfall I can see. I have purchased tickets a few hours before the game online and saved a lot of money.

NFL, Rams vs Chargers game
I was unable to enter the strict regulation of bringing in.

It's cool going to this iconic former Olympic stadium, but this place is very unorganized/unmarked for services. It doesn't have its own parking, but is reasonably accessible via public transit.

Nice place, but small for a stadium. Rams fans are the worst, but not the stadium's fault.

It's old and not fancy but I love it. I have been going to games for years. I am curious to see how the renovation changes it

I love it because its so historic. Also the home of the U.S.C Trojans. It was built for the Olympic Games.

Took my mom with us for the first time specifically to visit the Butterfly Pavilion and it did not disappoint! She is a Butterfly lover and one landed on her as if her energy attracted it. The museum is my favorite place to visit as a homeschooling family becuase there's so much to do and it keeps getting better and better. The monthly First Fridays events are worth the price of the membership, alone!

Home of the Raiders, Trojans, Olympics, and now the Rams! Do i even need to say anything else? #RaiderNation #FightOn

Historic and full of sports history. Go during an NFL game, the Party Zone and Corona Beach are fun

The LA Memorial Coliseum is an iconic historical venue to be for concerts Sports all kinds of different venues currently it's under construction beautifying the already historical landmark that sits here in across the street from University of Southern California it's a great place to visit bring your family, friends, relatives and Neighbors

Nostalgic. They were doing a lot of work when I went though

What are the best place in the late to take your family to be . You can learn so much at the museums. It is a good place to have a Family Day. Looking forward to sports. You have the Coliseum with a new faces. And a brand new soccer state

For me easy access (Uber) getting into the stadium no problem, food and beer the same no long queues (depends when you go) as with the toilets. Seats fine Section 108a row 7.

It was a great place to go see a football game. Watch the Rams play v.s the Broncos.We won!!! Go Rams

Too confusing all seems new and crowded. I used to love it before, way back when in the 1980.

Pretty good stadium. It it's self isn't in a bad part of town but just a few blocks away is a rougher part of LA just a word of caution to tourists. Unlike many stadiums they allow sealed water bottles which is very nice. Food inside is overpriced as always but I suppose that's a given.

Been going here for years. Concerts and football games. Old stadium,seats are really close to each other and hard to walk through after the game. Historical place. Still love it!

RAMS!!!!! Even though the beat my Cowboys... Perfect place for a tailgate party

Antiquated but easy to get there by public transit

Such a beautiful day and wonderful group of people to spend a Sunday Afternoon with!!! Go Rams!!!

Very cool stadium. UCLA USC games are always a must see. The hotdogs being sold by vendors outside the stadium are actually pretty good.

Never been inside. Only drove past or walked past to the California Science Center. It s historic and bigger than you might assume. Even if you go outside and just look at it, it s impressive

Ugh. I know this place was state of the art 100 years ago. It's a beautiful stadium.... but I just can't. Parking is awful and getting in & out is a nightmare.

Old. Small seats. Expensive food and drink. Great game.

Visited to see how the construction work is underway

My first time to the colosseum it was fun , first time to a NFL game as well had a chance to watch the 49ers win victory over the Rams. It was an experience me and my family will never forget.

This was the worst expirience ever!
I came to watch Real Madrid, my favorite team to play Manchester city. This was a team that never came to america and they where playing in LA!!!!
We where 1 hour early driving toward the stadium the traffic was awful and took 10 minutes to go 30yd! By the time we got to the parking zone the game was 20 minutes in and the parking spots where all full and it cost 80$. What a waste of time and money I just wanted to see my favorite team in person and have a amazing expirience with my family but it led them to tears when there was no way to get in...
so awful
If you ever come here make sure to WALK or get there 2-3 hours early!!

I went there to see the Rams, not USC. The stadium is a legendary enclosure that is worth the detour (more than the Rose Bowl) 2 Olympic games anyway. Past the excitement of his illustrious history, we realize its weak point despite successive renovations.
The slope of the stands is too low so pay attention to the choice of places. There are nearly 100 rows so at the top and in the turns the field is far away. Because it is not a football stadium originally. Particularly open side whose view is further encroached by the low and side boxes.
The campus, the science museum and the "Endeavor Shuttle" will be appreciated. Returns by public transport are nightmarish, it is better to take his trouble in patience and drag as much as possible.

Directions were pretty easy to go into the Colosseum

Me encanto haber estado en este stadium!
I would go back for another game
Go Rams

Super expensive. $7 a bottle of water! And $15-18 per beer. Not to mention you cannot take "big" purses, only a transparent 10in "purse"

This year (2016) the"Coliseum Club" beer gardens for USC donors are smaller, especially the one on the north west corner, so beware. Also Sculpin and other Ballast Point beers on draft are $15.

Rams game invited for breast cancer survivor thanks to all that made it happen great time

"Rams vs Broncos game "Food court Employees are very rude it made me not want to even buy anything after i purchased my first meal. Aug 25. 2019 sec. 328A staff. Over all nice stadium fun game.

Beautiful and since the Rams started to play the food as been a step up.

This season I went to a college game at SDCCU (The Murph) in San Diego and thought it was the worst venue for a football game. The Coliseum managed to beat it in the worst place to see a football game category. If you get there 3 hours prior to game, there is not a real problem getting to the stadium or getting into the stadium. We were there just as all the gates opened, got in through security without issue. However as game time got closer and closer you could see the back up to get into the stadium get worse and worse. It would not have been such a problem, but since the stadium was designed a while back, it creates absolute chaos during the first half of the game with people trying to get to seats, get to the restroom and everything else. The sections don't provide many access points, so everyone is essentially trying to access the same row from the same end. It is a mess. The stairways are very steep and were designed in the 1920's- code was not present or allowed it. However the stairs are very steep. A gentleman, who was intoxicated, tripped going down the stairs, during the National Anthem, face planted down 7 rows and was bleeding from his head. It took until half way through the first quarter to get security or an usher there because the flow was so bad with humanity everywhere. It took until the 2nd quarter until EMT's arrived and got him out of there. Meanwhile, the masses of humanity continued to try to get there seats through/over etc the situation and it just displayed how dated this stadium is and needs to be brought to code for safety. I understand he was intoxicated, but to take over 25 minutes to get access to a harmed visitor is unacceptable and shows just how dangerous the place can be- imagine if it was your family member having a heart attack. The parking is horrible unless you pay a king's ransom. The security and fan experience was sub-par, it is not "family friendly" at all. The security only really cares about enforcing right of way and not safety of the visitor. Overall, I might have forgot how bad NFL game crowds could be, but I would not recommend this stadium for a full event. Also it is a bit disappointing such an historic venue could not honor its past in some way. Maybe renovations and improvements are coming, I don't know, I just hope they are.

Absolute fun and a lot of vigilance good place to spend as a family

always a great time here! great place to take your family and enjoy a game. food is worth the price. smoked turkey legs, fried chicken, chicken tenders, they also have nachos, pizza and hot dogs. be sure to check out the corona lounge before the game for 5dollar beers(sometimes)

Visited the king tut exhibit which was breathtaking

This place was very jaw dropping. It is huge, amazingly light there were no shadows to be seen. I attended the Monster trucks. The noise and the exhaust were heavenly

Best stadium in the Pac-12

Fight On!

Place was trashed after a game. No one threw away ANY of their garbage. $10 for elote. Prices were over inflated.
