Although you are correct in saying the actual Kings Speech took place at Wembley, the stadium shots in the film are from Elland Road in Leeds, and Odsal Stadium in Bradford.

"El Secreto de sus Ojos", Oscar-winning film, he used the football stadium Tomas A. Duco in Argentina

I just saw PGE Park (now Jeld Wen Stadium) as a baseball stadium in an episode of the show Leverage

[kronofr]

I have 2 movies in mind :

The express : Cleveland brown's stadium I think...
Escape to victory (with Stallone, Pelé, Bobby Moore, Wark, Van Himst, Ardiles... all true footballers except Stallone) : Colombes (France)

The pre-1968 Madison Square Garden is featured in the original Manchurian Candidate.

It Happens Every Spring, 1949. a baseball film starring Ray Miland was filmed at old Wrigley Field in Los Angeles. A ballpark built to resemble Wrigley Field in Chicago.

[mrakbaseball]

The February 21st episode of the USA network's White Collar had several scenes filmed on location at the New York Yankees' current home field. The episode was entitled "Stealing Home".

Cannon
Perry Mason
Columbo
Emergency!
Quincy, M.E.
Banacek
The Incredible Hulk

or outside Angel Stadium. There was a recent NFL on Fox promo featuring Smoove, Aikman, and Buck filmed at Dodger Stadium I believe.

"The Fortune Cookie" 1966 staring Jack Lemmon and Cleveland Municipal Stadium.

Who owns the Coliseum? I've seen images of a woman "entertaining" (don't ask) at the Coliseum and wondered how that particular location was approved of such activity.

There is a brilliant clip from Argentine movie The Secret In Their Eyes, showing Huracan's Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó.




EDIT: joaquinmpg already mentioned it a few weeks back!

In answer to your query..

From wiki..

The stadium is jointly owned by the State of California, Los Angeles County, and the City of Los Angeles; it is currently managed by the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission, which has board members drawn from the three ownership interests.

LOS ANGELES MEMORIAL COLISEUM COMMISSION

The Coliseum and Sports Arena are under the authority of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission, which was formed under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act on September 25, 1945. Although this governing body is comprised of representatives from the City of Los Angeles, the County of Los Angeles and the State of California, no taxpayer funds are used to support the facilities. The complex is supported solely by revenue generated from these two facilities.

The following individuals represent the Coliseum Commission:

From the State of California: David Israel (President), Glenn Sonnenberg, William J. Chadwick Fabian Wesson (alternate)

From the County of Los Angeles: Zev Yaroslavsky, Mark Ridley-Thomas, Don Knabe (Vice President) Mike Antonovich (alternate)


From the City of Los Angeles: Barry A. Sanders, Bernard C. Parks, Johnathan Williams
Tom LeBonge (alternate)
