Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

Arrival & transportation

Rail bypasses the most volatile part of the approach, while road traffic shares the district with USC, museums, and the Coliseum. Concurrent events can change the normal lot and pedestrian plan.

02

Mixed

Seat & section strategy

The steep rake keeps the field visually close. The north end is designed around active support and standing, while sideline sections offer a calmer full-pitch read.

03

Positive

Event-day character

The 3252 supporters' section supplies much of the identity, with continuous singing and safe-standing energy that spreads through the compact bowl.
