Olympics

The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is the only stadium to have hosted the Olympic Games twice, in 1932 and 1984. It is also the only Olympic stadium to have also hosted Super Bowls and World Series.

DICK'S Sporting Goods

The first “Super Bowl” was played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on January 15, 1967. Here, the Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 35-10.

ESPN

Before Andy Reid was coaching some of the best offenses in the NFL, he was dominating the Punt, Pass, and Kick competition. Easy to see why, he was 2x the size of his fellow "pee-wee" players.

Nick Thompson

Great place to see a sports event !! College football !! Not a bad seat in the house! Nose bleeds are worth it

Bank of the West

Home to Wattsatax in 1972, a music & culture festival that commemorated the 7th anniversary of the Watts riots. Here are great examples of recent African-American contributions: http://bet.us/BHM

Watch the Olympic Cauldron light up for the fourth quarter of a Trojans game. It’s also lit for special occasions like the Olympics and the Dodgers’ 50th Anniversary Game played here in 2008.

Didier Dorga

Great place to see USC football , bring cash for concessions, go on campus first and walk in with the band.

Britt Winslow

The most historic sports arena in the country . The only stadium in the world to host two Olympics, a Super Bowl, a World Series, and a national championship football team.

Michael Kalec

This place has such great history. Looking forward to seeing it at the Olympics in 2024 or 2028

Paul Samaha

Only the greatest football stadium in America for the nation's greatest football team.

Along with the adjacent Sports Arena, the Coliseum is credited with helping to start the migration of professional sports teams to the West Coast. Read more

The 1972 Dolphins beat the Washington Redskins and became the NFL’s only perfect season in the Super Bowl era.

Jennifer

Take a field trip to see the peristyle and remember the great athletes of yesteryear.

Jesse  Wilson

know where to park before driving there, traffic is insane. buy a water bottle inside, drink and refill at drinking fountains . you will be dehydrated by end of night so drink as much as possible. ;D

TheUrbanDaily

The Wattstax Music Festival was held here on 8/20/1972. Often referred to as "the Black Woodstock," the day-long concert was held to commemorate the seventh anniversary of the Watts riots.

Darlene Jefferson

Love the COLISEUM location! HATE the Seats, Long Rows, & steep steps

Ashley Simpson

If you're hungry, go for the little taco stands or Derrick's sausage tents...Ghetto dogs are a great post-game heart attack snack too! ;-) and of course, FIGHT ON!

Pocket Sun

You can go to the museum before the game! $5 water, limited food options. Good USC games though!

Manda Currell

For Rams games there are plenty of people selling water and ice creams outside

Ruy

The Beautiful Coliseum ! A USC game at The Coliseum is like putting a pretty dress on a hooker.

John Kidde

Football . Ride the Expo Line here and save yourself the hassle of parking .

Los Angeles

The Olympic Cauldron (torch) from the 1984 games is still lit during USC football games

Josh Wood

So much history. Can't wait to see it again for 2028 Olympics.

X Games

Had such a great time filling this place with dirt this summer! Check out the photo gallery http://espn.go.com/action/photos/gallery/_/id/5425499/day-3#/14/

Scott R.

Love the peristyle end. Miss the old Kentucky Fried Chicken that used to be across the way on Fig St.

Kevin Cheung

bring UNOPENED water bottles since they cost 5$ inside. also make sure you have sunblock if you don't want a horrible tan . & be ready to be heckled if you're not in SC gear in the student section .

Pauline Machado

All place is very nice

Elizabeth Geli

Real trojans stay for the ENTIRE game! AND the Trojan Marching Band post game show!

Matt Charney

Go to Nacho & Tamales stand between Sec. 12 & 13. At $8, carne asada nachos better than Barkley. Others will harass you about whereabouts of stand on long walk back to seats, so caveat emptor.

Emre Aktuna

Go on trojans . Fight on.Home of the Trojans .

Kimberly Righettini-Vargas

Sports bucket list checked! USC Utah game.

Check-in early before you enter the event . The cell towers, AT&T, always down. No 3G and data access, voice seem to be working but hardly make call :(
