The Forum (Inglewood, California)

The Forum is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Inglewood, California, adjacent to Los Angeles. Located between West Manchester Boulevard, across 90th Street (renamed Pincay Drive in December 2003) and north of the former Hollywood Park Racetrack and casino (the future site of the City of Champions Stadium to open in 2019), it is about three miles east of Los Angeles International Airport. Opening on December 30, 1967, the Forum was an unusual and groundbreaking structure. Architect Charles Luckman's vision was brought to life by engineers Carl Johnson and Svend Nielsen, who were able to engineer the structure so that it had no major support pillars. This had previously been unheard of in an indoor arena the size of the Forum.
