Talk:Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum

2007 status article
An L.A. Times article about the current status may be of interest. (SEWilco (talk) 19:00, 29 November 2007 (UTC))

Lead
The lead is supposed to be a summary of the article. This one gives every obscure detail of the sports h history. The lead is disrespectful of the WW I veterans as that should be in one of the first sentences as to why it is Memorial Stadium. The Olympics is mentioned as an Amazing Fact rather than a summary of the History. Hoping a knowledgeable sports fan will start the process by moving most of the lead to History.

Table column alignment
In the capacity table, the right column should be right-aligned, not left-aligned. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 22:34, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Motion: To promote image
Question: What do you want to see "above the fold" on a page about a Thing? Yes, Picture of a Thing. Consider:


 * Dodger_Stadium
 * Yellowstone_National_Park
 * Maracan%C3%A3_Stadium

Note each has the main picture up near the top.

Second, the map zoomed on the whole county is not particularly useful. Too far out to see where in Los Angeles, too far in to see where in California. On the other hand, the more modern OSM map left was useful. People know where Los Angeles is. The OSM map lets you see where in LA, and fully zoom either way if needed.

Any location with a known address inside city limits should be on a street map, not shown on a map of the entire US. (haha)
