Trojans in the Coliseum

December 2nd, 2009 · No Comments


Having seen UCLA host USC at the Rose Bowl three years ago, it was only fitting that we got a chance to see the two teams play again, this time in USC’s home stadium, the Los Angeles Coliseum. The tickets were thanks once again to Michael’s dad, and we enjoyed the evening very much.

We parked on the street and walked across campus to the stadium, observing all of the crazy tailgating – didn’t it used to just involve eating and drinking, rather than flat-screen TVs with mysteriously-sourced HD cable connections blaring at high volume? – and enjoyed some authentic stadium food before taking our seats in the end zone. The game wasn’t the most exciting, but the pomp was fun to watch, with all of the crazy Trojan fans and the guy driving the sword into the field and Traveler and each school’s massive and talented marching band.
