The structural parameters and density profiles for 28 LMC globular clusters (located within 5 kpc from the rotation center) have been derived by means of star counts. The clusters were measured on plates of four different colors (U, J, V, I) taken with the 1.2-m UK Schmidt telescope. The tidal radii are found to be within 40-65 pc and their dynamical masses from 10,000 to 100,000 solar masses. Comparing the dynamical parameters of these clusters with those studied by Kontizas et al. (1987), it is found that the most extended and massive clusters of this galaxy are in the innermost area, at distances not exceeding 3 kpc from the rotation center; the distances have been corrected for the inclination of the LMC.
