Hi, I am Tim Johnson and welcome to the California Business Minute.

ESPN.com's Jim Caple compiled a list of what he considers to be America's 100 "most important"
sports venues. So how did California fare?

Well, the Rose Bowl came in at No. 9; the L.A. Coliseum was at No. 12; Pebble Beach Golf Links
ended up No. 21; Gold's Gym in Venice was at No. 39, just ahead of Dodger Stadium at No. 40.

Also listed were UCLA's Pauley Pavilion at No. 44; the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative (BALCO) "
because no facility is more notorious" at No. 56; the Forum in Inglewood at No. 64; Candlestick
Park at No. 68; the Sports Arena at No. 73; AT&T Park in San Francisco at No. 76; the Kerlan-Jobe
Orthopedic Clinic in Los Angeles at No. 85; the Oakland Coliseum at No. 87; Staples Center at
No. 98 and Memorial Stadium in Berkeley at No. 100.

Surprisingly, Santa Anita, Hollywood Park and Del Mar did not finish in the running. And nor did
Petco Park, Qualcomm, the California Speedway or Sear’s Point or even Laguna Seca.

I am Tim Johnson and this has been the California Business Minute.
