Inside the USC TROJANS' $315,000,000 LA Memorial Coliseum | Royal Key

The LA Memorial Coliseum is one of the most iconic sports facility in the world. Declared a National Historic Landmark in 1984, the Coliseum is not only home to the USC Football program but also will host the forthcoming 2028 Summer Olympics. In our latest "Royal Key" episode, we met up with architect DLR Group to check out all of the latest renovations made to the iconic, multi-purpose stadium.

[@DieYuppiieSkum]

Just like what happened to the Georgia Dome that got torn down, when it could've gone on for another 10+ years and getting renovations, at later time. It was only 25 years, at the time it stood. While the Falcon's new Mercedes-Benz Stadium looks spectacular and futuristic, the team, organization, and city should have waited to build it.

Bruh, in early 90s on up I had the privilege to live across the street from Willie McGinest, and neighbors who had season tickets for USC and the LA Raiders, me and my uncle were always welcomed to go and it was a SAT SUN event, tailgating, and OMG some of the craziest fights especially when KC, and the bills played, this stadium you should never come to wearing another teams Jersey, OMG you were a brave soul... I even was at the game my only true favorite player Bo Jackson got hurt against the Bengal's game... Sad day... I even went to Rams games before they moved to St Louis, those were the days and I was lucky because where I grew up and my neighbors... It's crazy to see how pimped out it is now...

I'm kinda confused why in the last couple of years they decided to add an extra layer of fences just to keep outsiders further away from the stadium. In the past you could go see the statues up close. Now it's almost as if they want to make sure, nobody comes near the stadium. What a shame.

I have always wanted SC to build portable bleachers to fill in the oval at the end that's too far away from the field. It wouldn't be difficult to build removable bleachers that completed the "oval" closer to the field. It would look better and it would fit more fans than those small straight bleachers they put up.

[@eddieG667]

After all the money, construction and suites, the main flaws in the stadium not only remain, but got amplified: 1. The iconic peristyle is still not a place to sit during games like in the original olympic design. As a result, the temporary tacky bleachers are still needed. It's the most common background for TV and shows nothing but empty seats in the corners and makeshift jerseys under the peristyle. 2. Since seating has been reduced, the dreaded corner seats near the peristyle are depended on more. They're horrible seats and you're at least 50 yards away from the field and far behind the band. A good solution to this would've been to demolish the existing west end zone and bring that section closer. Move the football field to the east toward the peristyle above 15-20 yards. Then the temporary bleachers wouldn't be needed. People would be able to sit in the peristyle and it would look great for TV.

[@Skier10]

Good points. Why they didn’t take advantage of this renovation to move the field closer to the peristyle is a head scratcher.
