Los Angeles Rams season ticket holder Jamaal Artis crawled down the 110 Freeway, inched for what seemed like an eternity on side streets toward Exposition Park, then drew a breath upon seeing the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum — billed as “the greatest stadium in the world.”

I saw the Dodgers play there, before the Chavez Ravine facility was built.

I saw the Rams and the Raiders play there, too. The last visit to the Coliseum was a Raider game, months before the Rodney King riots, when near new condos nearby got the torch.

A close friend of mine worked downtown, and had an auto accident in a Central American barrio, and it really scared him. His lovely wife was Hispanic, by the way-a CPA/CFO type.
