The Coliseum wasnt built for football, it ws built for the Olympics, after the Traiders moved to LA they complained about how far the seats were fromthe field so the stadium floor was lowered, the track was removed, more seats were built and the field was moved down to the closed end of the stadium... some 70 yards from the arches and flame. The sundeck was brought in to provide seats at the open end of the stadium and the seats that are covered are covered because they do not have a full view of the field.
As for the covers that bring stadium capacity down to 68,000 seats, that was done for the Traiders only who felt it unfair that their games were blacked out on TV cause they had to sell out a 92,000 seat stadium so they went with an NFL wide average of 68,000 and covered up the rest so their games could be on TV in Southern California.
Thought we had covered that before but some must have missed the short bus that day.

Thank you for your contribution Corky, now get your facts straight: the stadium was not built for the Olympics, it was built in 1922-1923, 10 years before the 1932 Olympics.

Its for $C and their football team which played its first game on Oct 6, 1923. Since then it has also housed:

UCLA Bruins (NCAA) (-1982)
Summer Olympics (1932&1984)
Los Angeles Rams (NFL) (1946-1979)
Los Angeles Dodgers (MLB) (1958-1961)
Los Angeles Chargers (NFL) (1960)
Los Angeles Raiders (NFL) (1982-1994)
Los Angeles Express (USFL) (1983-1985)
Los Angeles Xtreme (XFL) (2001)

So maybe you guys should go with this argument: we have fucked this field up so many times trying to fit so many different events in that some of our stands are too far away. So, we cover them up to make it look more classy and borrowed some bleachers from the local high school so more fans could come and watch the 2nd and 3rd quarters.

Next...

I didn't want to state the obvious earlier, but it looks like it's advisable at this juncture.

The tickets were sold out. All 92,000. Of the tickets sold, over 90,000 were used...ie 98%.

It's a poor argument to say we don't sell games out when we had roughly a thousand unoccupied seats, in the worst sections.

Better luck next time Sky.

Thats a great point, cause it just shows you have people buying seats but not coming to the game. I guess the #1 team in the nation isn't a big enough draw. LA, the city we all wish we could live in.

We? Sorry, that would be they. No Trojan buys seats in the bench section.

Try again.

Oh sure, what was I thinking, you have already proven yourself the expert on LAMC, and a sell-out is a sell-out, isn't it. Surely Fresno St fans wouldn't want to drive the few hours to see their team face #1.

But whatever fucko, got some lucky calls last night and you have mediocre fans, period.

You can't even keep the posters in this forum straight.

Figures.

Idiot

I love it Jimmy, you can't object to what I say so you revert to some value-less comment.

Still, for having to be in front of my computer all day, you have made it fun.

Good luck against UCLA.

I guess you ended up watching our game last night. So even if a thousand Fresno State fans didn't show...we more than made up for it in the national audience.

Thanks for kicking your own ass.

Sure, Fox SportsNet really brought a lot of money into your coffers didn't it.

Why is this such an important point? Most of the people now living in California are from somewhere else. That just means that people banging on our attendance can't keep their families at home. It also means politicians don't enforce borders so Mexifornia is a 3rd world country.

So fine. If only 4 elfs, 3 serpents, 2 nomads, and 1 coach's daughter are in the stands and the team wins a national championship, is there an asterisk next to the name sighting the # of people in the seats?????

If all you have is bingo and football on Saturday nights and you happen to fill your seats, good for you. That does not in any way translate to quality of program... If this is too complicated for you, play bingo.

Oh Jimmy boy, you and those clever comebacks.

Enjoy it while it lasts, if it is Texas vs $C, you are going down.

for a Stanford fan, Mikey sure has USC nutz in his throat.

Interesting, not one word about Stanford from you, but you continue to ankle bite in USC threads.

Stanford sucks. They lost to Kal.
So what, does that mean I can't post in a USC thread?

Haven't seen you starting too many Mizzou threads lately. WTF are you doing posting in this thread?
