Once upon a time (well, 1965), @UCLA chancellor Franklin D. Murphy promoted the construction of a $6.5-million, 44,000-seat on-campus stadium that would be nestled into the hillside west of the student athletic fields. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
Among other amenities, the stadium would house a regulation football field plus a 440-yard, nine-lane track, outdoor lighting, concession stands, restrooms, scoreboards, a two-level press box, team dressing and shower rooms and management offices. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
#UCLA students twice voted against the proposal and staged a protest outside Murphy’s office. The campus newspaper, the Daily Bruin, ran an editorial opposing the stadium and the use of student fees to fund it. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st… Image
Plus, “it was the neighbors who didn’t like the possibility of parking problems and...possibility of traffic and noise and interruptions 5 days a year,” Charles E. Young, who at the time was immersed in stadium planning as vice chancellor, said this week. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman ripped fans from his alma mater on Twitter, calling the attendance “an embarrassment” two weekends ago against South Alabama. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
UCLA and Miami are the only Power Five conference teams to play home games more than a short drive from campus. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st… Image
With sagging attendance at the Rose Bowl, could the stadium issue be revisited?

Jaime Jarrín will be feted by the @Dodgers Saturday as a remarkable 64-year career closes after this season.

@jorgecastillo looks at Jarrin's unorthodox path to baseball radio, the remarkable moments in history he's covered, and what's next for him. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Jaime Jarrín has witnessed more games at Dodger Stadium than anyone else since it opened in 1962. As the stadium hosted the All-Star Game in Jarrín’s 64th and final season as one of the club’s Spanish-language radio voices, he offered his favorite moments: latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Jarrín and René Cárdenas, the first full-time MLB Spanish-language play-by-play voice, initially rebroadcast games from Vin Scully’s calls before the team, with a push from Scully, let them travel.

Jarrín credits Scully for being his career “architect.” latimes.com/sports/dodgers… Image
