USC (PAC 12) 2004

College:  USC

Year:   2004

Game:  USC 49 Colorado State 0

Rating:  6 out of 10

Cost:  Moderate

Tickets:  Easy. 

Stadium:  The Coliseum is a historical icon but it’s not a great place to see a game.  It’s too big so it never really gets loud. 

Description:  The stadium is interesting and historic but if you have the wrong seat you can be extremely far from the action.  One of the few college stadiums where you can get beer!  Field is huge….the actual football field only takes up about 1/2 of the surface.

I don't really have too much to say about USC.  I mean I went to this game during the height of the Pete Carroll era (JACKED AND PUMPED!!!!).  It was more like attending a baseball game, kind of a leisurely feeling to it. I was so far from the field that I couldn't really hear the band (the noise kind of broke up by the time it got to us). 

Don’t Miss: Not much going on around the stadium but plenty to see in LA. 

Avoid:  The neighborhood around the stadium....though my understanding is that it's gotten a little better since I attended this game. 

Attendees:  Bones
