The last time I came to the LA Memorial Coliseum, was for the Rage Against the Machine/Muse concert before the pandemic. Now I'm back to see Rammstein (my 1st concert since 2019). I would have given the LA Memorial Coliseum 5 ⭐ if they could have provided affordable parking. Unfortunately the cheapest I saw was $50 and the most that I could afford was $20. So I decided to arrive 3 hours before the show and make a day of it. At first I found a free parking spot right off the freeway in a residential area behind the gas station across from the Coliseum, but the local homeless people were saving it to sell. So I gave them the parking spot back and drove to the other side of UCLA campus and parked on a public street (without parking meters) in a business district about 5 blocks from the campus rose 🌹 garden. I made lunch and ate it in the park underneath some majestically beautiful trees with intricate root systems above the ground. I toured the college campus and hung out with a guy selling Rammstein t-shirts in the rose 🌹 garden before entering the Coliseum. I was immediately impressed that the 'Olympic' torch was lit with the flames flickering in the sky above the Coliseum! They had made several improvements to the venue during the pandemic and I flowed through the crowd quickly and efficiently. Though my ticketed seat was in the 'nosebleed' area, I moved to an unoccupied seat with a better view for the remainder of the concert. Rammstein's stage was insanely incredible! They had built towers shaped like the necks of guitars that were several stories tall!! They even had a built-in elevator for the band on the stage!?! Rammstein's pyrotechnics show is the biggest (and best) in the world and the flames/smoke shot up through the night sky creating a foggy haze that slowly drifted away!!! The choices for food/drinks were plentiful with a wide variety to choose from. The seats were comfortable and easy to get in and out of. My view was unobstructed and the immense size of the venue was breathtaking! I exited the concert with ease and drove off only to discover that every freeway onramp for miles was closed for construction. It added an hour to my drive back to Orange County. In conclusion, I would recommend the LA Memorial Coliseum to anyone who has never been there. It's one of the many historical landmarks in Los Angeles and is one of the best venues I have ever had the pleasure to experience. I thank the LA Memorial Coliseum and LA County for their hard work and service in keeping the Coliseum grounds and the UCLA campus accessible, clean, and safe while maintaining...
Read moreRead moreI went to see Rammstein in concert and it was a great experience. If you're attending an event there I recommend you check the coliseum's website beforehand and look for information regarding your event (under menuevents & tickets) so that you can find some FAQ's/general information and recommendations/instructions. For the concert I had a GA ticket and on the website I was able to find out what door to go to and what items I'd be able to bring with me (that's how I found out about the clear bag policy); I also used Google maps to see what streets to use to get to my door. I got there early (using public transportation so I have no idea about the parking lot) to try and get to the front of my section, and while we were in line there were a couple of coliseum workers keeping an eye on everything and they were nice and friendly if anybody approached them with a question. I could also see some of them walking outside and helping the people who stopped them to ask questions. Also, way before the doors opened some guards went around reminding people what type of ticket holders were supposed to be at those doors and they were nice enough to take a look at your ticket to confirm that you were in the right place. The doors opened a bit after 5 and as long as you had your clear bag and didn't trigger the metal detector you were good to go. Scanning the ticket from my phone was a breeze, I thought the guys putting on the wrist bands took sooo long but maybe it was just me and my excitement to finally get in. Once in you can see how beautiful and big the coliseum is; Rammstein's stage looked stunning there. The sound and the big screens are really nice. Something that I wasn't expecting was to see how close everything looks, meaning that next time I go to a concert there I'd be happy to get a seating ticket instead of focusing on getting floor level tickets only. The concert was fabulous, one of the best things I've seen in my life and I hope I get to experience more musical events at the coliseum because it really is a beautiful place with a great view and...
