Getting to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum:  Since parking is scarce and expensive, I know of two choices. One, take the Metro and two, contact Bill Wishard from Malibu Rotary and arrange to ride in one of the buses the club is renting. Contact Bill at wnwishard@aol.com. Cost for the bus will based on the size that is rented.
