Views of Sport by Red Smith on Los Angeles sports market
The piece argues that Los Angeles is a growing but not inexhaustible major sports market as new leagues arrive. It contrasts Lakers in the new arena with Cleveland football crowds and notes football and baseball attendance trends, Dodgers impact, and the limits of drawing power for fresh attractions. It cites Walter O Malley and Hollywood Park as competing draws.
