By Frances Anderton • • 1 min readIt’s the end of an era for the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, which has closed its doors after 57 years. It hosted legendary sports events, political conventions and concerts. Bruce Springsteen nicknamed the venue “the dump that jumps.” It will be demolished to make room for a 22,000-seat soccer stadium for the newly-formed Los Angeles Football Club. DnA got an exclusive tour of the building. And you can bid on the contents of the building, from chairs to signage and locker room furniture.
