L.A. Coliseum Commission Surrenders Control Of Venue To USC

The L.A. Memorial Coliseum Commission approved a "controversial deal" to "surrender day-to-day control of the historic venue to USC." The 8-1 vote by the Commission, which is "teetering on the brink of financial ruin," would "virtually end public stewardship of the 88-year-old stadium." The new lease would allow USC to control the venue until '54, when the Commission is "set to dissolve and the assets are to be transferred to the state." The school "wants the state to extend the lease" through 2111 (L.A. TIMES, 5/15).
