Memorial Coliseum UNITED AIRLINES FIELD AT LOS ANGELES MEMORIAL COLISEUM PRESERVING AND ENHANCING A NATIONAL TREASURE ©LAWRENCE ANDERSON PHOTOGRAPHY, COURTESY OF DLR GROUP The Scholarship Club Tower looms large over United Airlines Field at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum. The renovated Coliseum preparing for USC Trojan game day (below). Back to the Future: $315 Million Makeover Turns Century-old Coliseum into Modern Marvel nited Airlines Field at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum’s two-year, $315 million transformation has elevated the world-famous venue back to world-class status. The Umodernization, designed by DLR Group, brings the nearly century-old facility into the 21st Century and prepares it for another hundred years of holding college and professional football games, concerts and special events, as well as hosting an unprecedented third Summer Olympic Games in 2028. The University of Southern California Trojans have called the Coliseum home since the stadium opened in 1923 and the university raised private funds for the upgrades to the public stadium. The fresh features include 75,000 new seats in the bowl, a state-of-the-art technology infrastructure with wi-fi, plus new fan-friendly videoboards and TVs located throughout the public areas. A new seven-story tower, featuring premium seating and a versatile rooftop deck area, is uniquely situated inside the historic and completely renovated bowl. It has given the stadium a sleek and more modern addition while maintaining a classic profile for those walking up to the gate. “This was a special opportunity to modernize a treasured iconic landmark, maintain the historic integrity and provide current day amenities that fans expect from a high-caliber football program like USC,” said DLR Group Principal and project leader Don Barnum, AIA.

    LOS ANGELES CHARGERS vs. LOS ANGELES RAMS Sunday, September 23, 2018 | Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum | Los Angeles, Calif. **Transcriptions provided by Los Angeles Rams Communications** LOS ANGELES CHARGERS HEAD COACH ANTHONY LYNN (Opening remarks) "This should be real short. We didn't play good enough to win today. You can't give a team like that nothing. That offense was very good. We couldn't get off the field. We didn't put enough pressure on the quarterback. I think in the first half he (QB Jared Goff) was completing about 90 percent of his passes, and we get a punt blocked. We've got some things to correct. It's my responsibility and believe me, I'm going to make those corrections." (On if he plans to address his team's struggles on special teams through personnel changes) "Well, our players are our players. We can't go flipping out. We're not making a change there. We've just got to get better and we're going to do some things differently." (On what he is going to do differently on special teams) "That's what I'm going to talk about with my staff." (On if there is any glaring weakness with their special teams that he can mention off of the top of his head) "No, there are areas where it looks really good. The coverage looks really good. It's just the mistakes here and there that hurt you in a game like this. But, don't put this all on the special teams, because if you're backed up, but if you get out, that could be a different situation." (On Chargers WR Mike Williams' performance) “Mike played well.
