The Forum

The Forum is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Inglewood, California, adjacent to Los Angeles. Opening at the end of 1967, the venue 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.
