 Located in Englewood, California, the Famulous Forum, recently rehabilitated by the Madison Square Garden Company, shows that post-World War II sports arenas can find new life. Designed by Charles Luckman, this new formalist stadium opened with great fanfare in 1967 as the home of Los Angeles' newest sports franchises, The Lakers and Kings. It immediately became a Southern California landmark. In The Lakers and Kings relocated to downtown Los Angeles in 1999, the forum was sold to a local church. Underutilized and in disrepair, the building was facing demolition until the Madison Square Garden Company purchased it in 2012. Committed to historic preservation, the company maintained the site's original character while updating it for modern-day use as a concert venue. The rehabilitation also helped revitalize the community, bringing hundreds of new jobs and redevelopment to the area. Once called a white elephant, the beloved forum has become a community icon again, proving that even underdogs can win.
