Los Socks
Description: The Los Angeles Lazers were an indoor soccer team that played in the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) from 1982 to 1989. The team's name stemmed from the up-and-coming laser light show industry, which management believed would depict a perfect synergy of the lightning fast pace of indoor soccer. It became a pre-game ritual for every Lazers game to have a laser show displayed on the walls of the Forum.
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.
