Yes! There are a few options for tailgating based on the size and type of your group. Click here for more information on how to register for a Tailgate location on campus.
Can I set up a tailgate from my car?
USC tailgates are different than most. Cars are allowed to park only in designated parking structures and tailgating is not permitted in the parking structures, therefore tailgating out of cars is not permitted. USC tailgating is picnic-style, and all tailgate supplies and equipment must be transported on foot from your parked vehicle to your on-campus tailgate location. Tailgate supplies cannot be driven to your reserved tailgate space.
When does Tailgating start and end?
Tailgating can begin no earlier than 6 hours prior to kickoff. All tailgating must end promptly at kickoff time. Official Homecoming festivities will begin at 12:00 pm PDT.
What else should I know if I am planning to Tailgate on campus?
The University of Southern California is committed to continuing the rich tradition of Trojan football while creating a safe environment and an enjoyable experience for all home football games. Show your Trojan Pride and celebrate responsibly by treating fans from visiting teams with courtesy while keeping our campus clean.
All tailgate organizers must familiarize themselves with official USC tailgate policies. Glass beverage containers are NOT PERMITTED – plastic and metal only.
For information on fire safety for safe tailgate BBQ cooking, please download and read Gameday BBQ Safety from the USC Fire and Safety Emergency Planning website.
All fans need to adhere to the USC Code of Conduct which can be found HERE.
Can I bring my family to Homecoming?
Yes! Fans of all ages are invited to come and experience the Trojan Family Game Day Experience, a family-friendly, on campus tailgate that is free and open to the public. Families are welcome to enjoy the outdoor screens showing live games and relax in comfort with tables, chairs and a wide array of food and beverages (non-alcoholic soft drinks, wine and beer) available for purchase.
Where can I park for the Homecoming tailgate and game?
Parking on campus is a first come, first served basis. There is also limited parking at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum and Exposition Park. Parking at the Coliseum (Lot 1) can be accessed at the 39th Street entrance off Vermont Avenue. Please be award that public parking sells out quickly!
Is there a shuttle that runs between USC and the Coliseum?
No, shuttles do not run between USC and the Coliseum.
What public transportation options are available?
What is the bag policy at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum?
To provide a safer environment for the public and significantly expedite guest entry into the venue, the University of Southern California and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum’s implemented bag policy limits the size and type of bags that may be brought into the Coliseum for all events.
