UCLA’s Jackie Robinson Stadium on the VA’s West Los Angeles campus was locked down Thursday after a federal judge issued an order that it be closed until the university comes up with a proposal for the stadium grounds to be used for the benefit of the military veterans for whom the land was originally deeded.
The order went into effect at noon. VA security placed locks on all entrances and exit gates to the stadium and an adjacent practice field and posted no trespassing signs in the area. UCLA employees could be seen earlier carrying various supplies out of the complex.
