Description
For those living in Los Angeles in the ’70s and ’80s, there was only one place to see a rock concert or a sporting event: The Fabulous Forum. In 1967, The Forum rose from a former golf course in Inglewood like a modern-day Roman Coliseum. Its financier, Jack Kent Cooke, was a door-to-door encyclopedia salesman turned multi-millionaire owner of both pro basketball and hockey teams. He dreamed of building sports’ answer to the Taj Mahal in Los Angeles, and The Fabulous Forum was his dream come true, as a 75′ high Roman-style building adorned by 80 exterior columns. The facility was a shining star of the greater L.A. area for decades, hosting countless events from sports championships and rock concerts, to circuses and home shows. When the resident hockey and basketball teams relocated to a new arena in Downtown Los Angeles in 1999, the venue took a hit and eventually was purchased by a mega church that held services there for nearly 10 years. The church continued to lease the property out for concerts and other events, but it was rapidly falling into decline. Despite Los Angeles’ history of bulldozing anything old to build something new, an ownership change in 2011 resulted in a two-year remodel and restoration of the venue to its former glory, returning it to it’s place as one of the best large concert venues in America.

Sizing
Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
