Tickets
What tickets actually cost you in planning
Evergreen demand patterns, not a live price feed. Verify current inventory at the source before you book travel.
- Inventory is generally available outside of the Notre Dame and UCLA dates.
- The Coliseum is served by the Expo Line, which is the practical way in on a Saturday.
- Exposition Park parking sells out for large events; prepay if you drive.
Where to sit
The peristyle end is the iconic view. Lower sideline seats are the premium; the upper rows are steep with a downtown skyline behind them.
Traditions
What makes a USC Saturday different
Traveler
The white horse circles the field after every score.
Conquest
The band's closing number, played with the sword conductor, is the signature moment of a home game.

Games to plan around
College Football
Los Angeles Game Day
- When
- Home Saturdays, September through November
- Venue
- Rose Bowl Stadium, Pasadena, California
Coverage: Afternoon and evening national windows
Traffic is the whole problem. Leave three hours for the lots, or use rail and skip driving entirely.
College Football
Notre Dame vs USC
- When
- Mid-October in South Bend, late November in Los Angeles
- Venue
- Notre Dame Stadium, Notre Dame, Indiana
Coverage: National primetime window
South Bend is compact and walkable, but October weather turns cold after dark. In Los Angeles, traffic is the only real enemy.
Tailgating
- Campus tailgating around Exposition is organized and easy to walk between.
- The Coliseum lots fill early; the park garages are the backup.
Sun and heat gear, plus a light layer for the drop after sunset in a night game.
Travel and stay
- LAX is 30 minutes without traffic, which is rarely the case on a game day.
- The Expo Line is the reliable option from downtown hotels.
Weather: Hot for afternoon kickoffs into October with limited shade. Evenings cool quickly once the sun is down.
Around the game
Beyond the stadium in Los Angeles, California
