Original Purpose: Hosted the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympics, including track and field events. New Purpose: Serves as the home stadium for the University of Southern California (USC) football team and occasional NFL games. As one of the few Olympic venues to be used multiple times, the LA Memorial Coliseum has remained a functional sports hub. Beyond USC football, it has also hosted NFL games, music festivals, and major political events. The stadium will get yet another Olympic revival when LA hosts the 2028 Summer Games.
