Tips before you go
Bring one clear bag up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches or a one-gallon clear plastic bag, plus a small clutch. The Coliseum is cashless, and there is no re-entry. On USC game days, Exposition Park parking is by permit only, with no cash lots, and USC lists campus event parking at $50 per car for the 2026 season. Metro's E Line stops at Expo Park/USC and Expo/Vermont, both next to the stadium.
How to read the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum seating chart
USC explains the system: the 100s sit below the lower tunnels, the 200s between the lower and upper tunnels, and the 300s above the upper tunnels. So section 108 is the lower rows of section 8.
Section 101 is at the southeast corner near the peristyle. On the map, the numbers run west along the south side, around the west end and back east along the north side. Many sections are split into A and B halves.
Gate 29 is the Coliseum's ADA entrance. Accessible seats sit halfway between the field and the top rows, around most of the bowl, and escalators run next to Tunnels 4, 11 and 19.
