40th Street

The most significant landmark at this location is the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

40th Street had been renamed Santa Barbara Avenue, which has itself been renamed Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard in 1983. It is served by Metro Local line 40.

This site was chosen post-WWI to entertain the masses. The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is an American outdoor sports stadium located in the Exposition Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, United States. Conceived as a hallmark of civic pride, the Coliseum was commissioned in 1921 as a memorial to L.A. veterans of World War I. Completed in 1923, it will be the first stadium to have hosted the Summer Olympics three times: 1932, 1984, and 2028.

1963 Billy Graham Crusade

The largest gathering in the Coliseum's history was a Billy Graham crusade which took place on September 8, 1963 with 134,254[81] in attendance, noted by the Coliseum's website as an all-time record. With the renovations of 1964, the capacity of the Coliseum was reduced to roughly 93,000 for future events.
