Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum opened in 1923 in Exposition Park and has hosted two Summer Olympics, with a third coming in 2028. USC manages the stadium day to day, and it is the home field for Trojans football. Capacity is about 77,500 after the 2019 renovation.
Concerts here are occasional rather than weekly. Recent shows include the Kx5 project of deadmau5 and Kaskade, which drew around 50,000 people, and an America250 benefit concert on July 4, 2026. John Summit’s CTRL Escape Tour is booked for December 12, 2026.
The venue is cashless and uses a clear bag policy. Two Metro E Line stops sit next to the stadium, and event parking in Exposition Park should be bought in advance.
