Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena

The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena can accommodate patrons in wheelchairs or with restricted mobility. The Coliseum features multiple areas at ground level that do not require ramps or lifts to access. Situated at a midpoint between field level and the uppermost rows of the Coliseum, these areas can be accessed directly through the Coliseum’s tunnels, which lead into the seating area of the Coliseum. These locations are situated around most of the circumference of the building.

The Sports Arena also has dedicated seating for wheelchair-dependent patrons, or those who cannot climb stairs. Also located at street level, these sections can be accessed without the use of a ramp or lift and are distributed throughout the circumference of the Sports Arena.

Both the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena Box Office and Ticketmaster have the ability to sell disabled seating in the appropriate sections, along with seating for a companion for each patron occupying seating in these sections. Please notify the box office ahead of time for any special needs. The Sports Arena can accommodate these needs without a phone call; however, calling ahead will ensure the venue's readiness.

Rose Bowl

The Rose Bowl Stadium provides accessible seating to people using wheelchairs, as well as those with disabling conditions that make stair-climbing difficult. In each accessible seating area (on the Concourse Level and Field Level), an additional seat is provided, allowing for one companion for each person with a disability. Companions must also have event tickets.

Field level seating is accessible to wheelchair users and the persons with mobility impairments through Tunnel 28. A walkway in the tunnel leads to the field access elevator.

Access improvements include accessible and companion seats that extend around the entire circumference of the Rose Bowl Stadium. Approximately 380 seat pairs exist, which offer varying sight lines and a range of ticket prices.

Assistive Listening Receivers - FM assistive listening receivers are available at no charge at the Rose Bowl Administrative Office, near Tunnel 28. A valid driver's license, state identification card or credit card must be left as a security deposit.
