Kia Forum
The Kia Forum, also known simply as The Forum, is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Inglewood, California, part of the Los Angeles area. Located on West Manchester Boulevard, with Pincay Drive to the south and between Kareem Court and Prairie Avenue to the east and west, it is north of SoFi Stadium, Intuit Dome, and the Hollywood Park Casino, and about 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
The Forum opened on December 30, 1967. Architect Charles Luckman's vision was realized by engineers Carl Johnson and Svend Nielsen. It was a groundbreaking structure without extensive internal support pillars that was unique in an indoor arena the size of the Forum. The arena's roof, a cable-suspended structure, has a diameter of approximately 407 feet (124 meters).
