Clarification of Coffroth Arena Locations

Post by movngroove »

Because Jim Coffroth had several Bay Area fight arenas, the location of each has been confusing. Here is the clarification as to where each was located:
Coffroth's Colma Arena was on Mission & Sickles Street in Colma.

Coffroth's Daly City Arena, which was also known as the Sunshine Arena, was located at Mission & Schools Street in Daly City.

Coffroth's 8th Street Arena was located at 8th & Howard Street in San Francisco. This is likely also the arena sometimes identified as "Coffroth's SF Arena."

Lastly, the Harlem Tommy Murphy v Packey McFarland November 30, 1911 fight was held at Coffroth's 8th Street Arena, not at Coffroth's Daly City Arena, as BoxRec has identified. Verified by the SF Call, December 1, 1911.
