Client: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission Lead Agency: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission Date Complete: November 2003 CAJA prepared an EIR for the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission to renovate the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for a potential NFL team. The project involved the renovation of the Coliseum, including the rehabilitation of portions of the 27.4-acre project site surrounding and containing the Coliseum structure itself. Proposed renovations reduced the fixed seating capacity for professional and college football games from the existing level of 92,500 to approximately 68,000 for NFL games and approximately 78,000 for collegiate football games. In addition to reducing the seating capacity, the project included 175 luxury suites and a club level of 15,000 premier seats. Upon completion of the proposed renovations, it is anticipated that the Coliseum would continue to host the same number and type of events as under existing and historical conditions. One of the primary goals of the project was to renovate the Coliseum in conformance with the generally accepted standards of design for National Football League (NFL) stadiums, thus enabling the Coliseum Commission to acquire and maintain an NFL franchise in the City of Los Angeles. The proposed renovation would retain and restore as much of the existing Coliseum facade, bowl geometry, and seating areas as physically and practically possible, within constraints of operational, programmatic, and historic restoration guidelines.
