Metro Express Lanes
In case you still don’t know, eleven miles of carpool lanes on the 110 Harbor Freeway have been converted to High-Occupancy Toll lanes, known as Metro Express Lanes. There will be no tollbooths. The tolls are collected electronically by a pre-paid FasTrak transponder. All toll lane users must have a FasTrak installed in their vehicle regardless of vehicle occupancy.
To learn more and sign up for FasTrak, visit: www.metroexpresslanes.net.
Parking
Parking is available on campus at the parking structures until they sell out of spaces. The rate is $25 for all lots. Public parking in the Exposition Park/Coliseum lots is $25 and is available in Lot 1, 2, & 3.
Expo Line
Skip the traffic and Go Metro on game day. Expo Line trains run every six minutes before and after games. Metro's Silver Line also provides service to the 37th St/USC Station, just a short walk from the stadium.
Save time by getting a Metro Day Pass on a reusable TAP card before game day. They're available at hundreds of sales outlets. And if you already have a TAP card, load it with a pass online prior to the game. For more details and to plan your trip, please check out www.metro.net/usctrojans.
Tommy Trojan Game Day Tips:
USC Campus: Being the first game of the season, we suggest you arrive early on campus and enjoy listening to the Trojans Marching Band, which will be playing at various spots on campus. For an added shot of adrenalin, following the band across the street all the way to the Coliseum and you’ll feel part of the festivities.
For more information: www.usc.edu/dept/band/gameday_routine,html
Tailgate/Fan Fest: The Trojans Fan Fest is located on Christmas Tree Lane just east of the Coliseum, with everything a USC fan could want – food trucks, music, games, merchandise, free giveaways, vehicle displays, and more! Check out the Ralphs Ultimate Tailgate inside the Fan Fest to see how to qualify for free food and drink, dinner and pub seating, plus TVs with college football games for you to enjoy! The Trojans Fan Fest opens four hours prior to kickoff at every home game.
Trojans Walk: The 2015 Trojans should arrive on Figueroa Blvd. at approximately 5:30 p.m. for the traditional walk to the Coliseum’s peristyle end. Get there early to get a good spot behind the ropes.
