NFL-A look at league history in Los Angeles (Reuters)

With the Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers and St. Louis Rams all seeking to move to Los Angeles, here is a brief look at the history of the National Football League in the City of Angels, the second-largest media market in the United States: - Wrigley Field in Los Angeles hosted the NFL's first All-Star Game (which later became known as the Pro Bowl) after the 1938 season, with Gilmore Stadium following suit in 1939 and 1940. - The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was the site of the Pro Bowl from 1950 to 1971. - In 1946, the reigning NFL champion Cleveland Rams became the first league franchise to be based in Los Angeles where they played home games at the Coliseum before moving to nearby Anaheim in 1980.
