vintage first year 1946 AAFC NFL LOS ANGELES DONS FULL UNUSED FOOTBALL TICKET

Description: ONE 1946 AAFC LOS ANGELES DONS FULL UNUSED FOOTBALL TICKET - LA COLISEUM This ticket can be dated to 1946, as Don Madigan (Printed on the ticket) was the General Manager for the Dons first season (1946) only. In 1947, Harry Thayer became the General Manager. The Los Angeles Dons were an American football team in the now defunct All-America Football Conference from 1946 to 1949 that played in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The Dons were the first professional football team to play a regular season game in Los Angeles, two weeks before the first game of the rival Los Angeles Rams of the NFL who had moved from Cleveland. In 1946 the AAFC was launched to do battle with the long established NFL. The AAFCs Southern California franchise, which was to compete directly with the newly relocated Los Angeles Rams of the NFL, was known as the Los Angeles Dons. The Dons shared the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with the Rams for its home games. Although never filling the mammoth facility the club made a show of offering vast numbers of tickets for sale at reasonable prices, including 40,000 reserved seats for each home contest priced at $2.50, 15,000 general admission seats costing $1.50, and 8,000 children's tickets priced at just 60 cents. The team played its first regular season home game against the Brooklyn Dodgers on September 13, 1946 in front of a crowd just shy of 19,000 fans — the first time professional football had ever been played in the Coliseum.
