Very upsetting! According to source data, there were about 30,000 people present during Lincoln Riley’s USC Trojans’ most recent home game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Despite low attendance, due to a losing streak of three games in a row, the Trojans were in dire need of a victory, which they achieved by defeating Rutgers 42–20. However, if you are unaware, the stadium has witnessed a sizable crowd in most of the games. Even a few weeks ago, 75,250 spectators flocked to the Coliseum to watch USC play Penn State. Even yet, this was not Coliseum Stadium’s largest crowd. What is the precise number, then?

The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is known as “The Greatest Stadium in the World” and has been a National Historic Landmark since 1984. In 1947, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum saw 104,953 spectators for a USC football game, the most ever. Due to multiple renovations, the stadium’s capacity has been altered. Consequently, in November 2017, the stadium hosted the greatest college football crowd ever, with 82,407 spectators attending the USC vs. UCLA game. However, the Sixth District Agricultural Association, Los Angeles County, and the City of Los Angeles jointly controlled the Coliseum, which opened in 1923. As a result, many other games with the biggest attendance also happen without football.

In addition, Billy Graham’s 1963 performance in the presence of 134,254 people set record attendance at the Coliseum. Other significant events include the 1976 Bicentennial Spectacular, Nelson Mandela’s triumphant visit to the US in 1990, and Pope John Paul II’s first-ever celebration of the Papal Mass in 1987.

Since USC’s Coliseum Stadium is already regarded as one of the best stadiums for college football, the subject of its capacity still stands.

What is the seating capacity of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum?

The Los Angeles Coliseum has played host to numerous famous games over the years, including the Olympic Games, the Super Bowl, and the World Series. The USC Trojans have considered the Coliseum home since the 1930s, despite the fact that numerous teams from various sports have played there over the years.

The construction of the football stadium in Los Angeles began in the early 1920s. But the building was completed in less than two years, and the Coliseum’s first game took place in October 1923 between Trojans and Pomona College. The field was surrounded by over 76,000 bleachers. When the Olympic Games began in 1932, this capacity was increased to 101,574. The stadium then underwent a number of renovations in 1932, 1990, 1995, and other years. Today, the Coliseum, a stadium with 77,500 seats that is almost a century old, is full of history and prospects that are unmatched.

It is expected that the stadium’s thrilling atmosphere will continue to grow in the future. What do you think?
