Some 160 treated for heat-related illnesses during Rams game
Source: AP
LOS ANGELES (AP) Authorities said nearly 160 were treated for heat-related illnesses during the Los Angeles Rams' first regular-season home game.
Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart says of those treated, 14 people were taken to the hospital but none were in critical condition.
More than 91,000 people attended the game at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as downtown baked in 90-degree weather.
The National Weather Service said a weak onshore flow pushed the mercury across the state where temperatures hit the 80s and 90s in many spots, while temperatures in inland areas hit triple digits.

Just waiting for Jim Inhofe to issue a statement claiming they were faking it.

I was watching the game, and could see the marine layer in the distance, when they showed a stadium view. I'm surprised it was so hot at Memorial Stadium. Plus there wasn't a lot of humidity in the high.
