The Coliseum is officially sold out for this week’s monster West Coast clash against Oregon. Talk about bringing the noise! This isn’t just any game, either. We’re talking massive Big Ten and College Football Playoff stakes for both teams, so the atmosphere is going to be absolutely electric.
Riley’s Impact on the Ticket Booth
This Oregon game marks USC’s first home sellout of the entire 2026 season, which is pretty wild when you think about it. Last year, the Trojans only managed one home sellout, and that was against Michigan. But here’s where it gets interesting: before Head Coach Lincoln Riley rolled into town, USC hadn’t sold out the Coliseum since way back in 2017. And before that, they only had one sellout since 2013! That’s a long drought, right?
The New Normal at Home
Now, since 2023, the Trojans have racked up an impressive eight home sellouts. Yeah, the stadium holds about 16,000 fewer fans these days than it did a decade ago, but still, that’s a serious turnaround in fan engagement. USC fans are showing up in full force for this one on Saturday. The crowd is ready to bring the energy, and now it’s all on Riley and the team to deliver on the field.
