Located just off the USC campus, this hotel offers direct proximity to the game-day scene, including tailgating near Alumni Park. Ideal for visitors who want to stay right in the heart of the action.

A sleek, modern hotel 2-3 miles from campus, easily accessible from downtown and the stadium via rideshare or Metro. Offers upscale amenities and good comfort.

• Tailgating is pronounced on the USC campus and in Exposition Park. Many fans gather in Alumni Park or on the lawns near the Coliseum.

• Arrive early: traffic in South Los Angeles around I-110 / I-10 and Exposition Blvd can be heavy, especially on game days. Public transit (Metro E Line to Expo/USC station) is a strong option.

• The Coliseum is historic and loud — seats can vary a lot in proximity to the field (given its large size and age).

• Enjoy the legacy of the stadium. Know the bag and entry policies ahead of time (clear bags, limits, etc.) — being prepared makes entry smoother.

The Coliseum is located at  3911 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90037

Bacari West Adams
A local favorite near campus, Bacari serves Venetian-inspired small plates and creative cocktails. It’s a smart pre-game stop with lively atmosphere and just a few minutes from the tailgate zones.

Gwen Butcher Shop & Restaurant
Located a bit further but worth the trip, Gwen offers a high-end dining experience featuring premium meat and wine selections — ideal for fans looking to celebrate or entertain visiting guests.

TNT Taqueria & Bar
Closer to campus, this spot gives a more casual, high-energy taco & margarita environment — perfect for a quick bite before heading into the stadium.

Dino’s Burgers
A USC institution: no frills, great burgers and shakes, and steeped in Trojan game-day culture. It’s a must for a “classic” football-day experience in L.A.

Situated right next to the campus and Coliseum, Exposition Park features the California Science Center, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, and the Rose Garden. Perfect for an afternoon stroll or family-friendly outing.

The University Park Campus spans 229 acres and features 12 designated Historic Cultural Monuments. Walking the campus, you’ll see iconic landmarks like the Tommy Trojan statue, Heritage Hall, and the Olympic Oaks.

Just a few miles away, downtown L.A. offers theaters, galleries, nightlife, and top-tier dining. If you’re in town for the weekend, dedicating time to explore downtown is highly recommended.

Though not immediately adjacent, L.A.’s beaches are accessible by a short ride or transit from campus. A visit to Venice Beach or Santa Monica adds a different flavor to your trip beyond football.
