Stanford Stadium, the host to some of the football preliminaries, played host to NFL's
Super Bowl XIX in January 1985, where the
49ers defeated the
Dolphins 38-16. The stadium is still home to the
Stanford University football team, even after it was reconstructed in 2006, reducing its capacity to 50,000.
Five years later, the two venues would be used to host
FIFA Women's World Cup matches. Stanford hosted the semifinal match between the
United States and
Brazil while the Rose Bowl hosted the final match between the United States and
China, also decided in a shootout. Prior to the World Cups, the Rose Bowl also hosted
Super Bowls XXI and
XXVII. The Rose Bowl remains the venue for UCLA's football team while Pauley Pavilion remains the venue for UCLA's basketball teams. The Raiders remained at the Coliseum until the end of the
1994 NFL season. The last Raiders game played at the Coliseum was a 19-9 loss to the
Kansas City Chiefs.
Next year, the Raiders returned to Oakland where they remained until 2020 when they moved to their current home in
Las Vegas, Nevada. In January 2016, the
then-St. Louis Rams received approval from the NFL to return to Los Angeles, returning to the metropolitan area after a 21-year exodus; the Rams played most of their home schedule in the Coliseum from 2016 to 2019 while
SoFi Stadium was under construction in Inglewood (The Rams and
Los Angeles Chargers (formerly San Diego) moved into SoFi in 2020.). Both association football venues on the
East Coast of the United States,
Harvard Stadium and
Navy–Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, remain in use to this day. Harvard Stadium, on the campus of
Harvard University, is best known as home to the
school's (American) football team, but is also home to Harvard's teams in
men's and women's
lacrosse, and has been used for several other sports. Navy–Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, on the grounds of the
United States Naval Academy, hosts the Academy's
football,
men's lacrosse, and women's lacrosse teams. Since the
2013 edition, the
Military Bowl, a college football
bowl game, has been played at the stadium as well. The Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena remained home to the University of Southern California's basketball team until the
2005-06 NCAA basketball season when the Trojans moved
on campus. The Clippers shared its home between the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena and the
Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim (Honda Center since 2006) from the
1994-95 to the
1997-98 NBA seasons. The Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena was closed in March 2016, and demolished between September and October 2016.
Banc of California Stadium, a
soccer-specific stadium and home of
Los Angeles FC of
Major League Soccer, was constructed on the site of the Sports Arena and opened in April 2018. In late 1999, the
Staples Center opened in downtown Los Angeles. For the 1999–2000
NBA and
NHL seasons, the NBA's Lakers and Clippers, and the NHL's Kings all moved out of the Los Angeles Sports Arena and the Forum in Inglewood, and moved into the Staples Center, renamed
Crypto.com Arena in early 2022. The Olympic Velodrome located on the California State University, Dominguez Hills campus was demolished in 2003. Meanwhile, the Olympic Swim Stadium remains in use on the University of Southern California's campus both for recreation and for competition. Six of the venues which were used during the 1984 Olympics will host events at the
2028 Summer Olympics when Los Angeles hosts the games for a third time. Those venues include the
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum,
Dodger Stadium, the
Long Beach Convention Center, the
Long Beach Arena,
Santa Anita Park and the
Rose Bowl. ==External links==
