It’s all been very interesting to follow. Based on my limited experience west coast fans are polar opposite of rabid SEC fans. A number of years ago my wife had to make a business trip to L.A. so we timed it when USC was playing a late season home game in the coliseum. We got tickets and both teams were highly ranked. It was a sell out and supposedly a really big time game. When the game kicked off the place was less then half full. The crowd slowly continued to arrive and by half time it was finally full. People were working on their tan, reading magazines ( before everyone had cellphones) and casually chatting. They sold wine in the concession stands, both red and white. It was a good tight game that USC won with a late touchdown but by late in the third quarter fans had started drifting toward the exits and by the time it was over it was back to half full again. I don’t remember the year but it was sometime in the 1980’s. The band was good and the dude on the white horse was kind of cool. Cheerleaders were as advertised. Like I said this is based on a sample size of one, but if this is the way it is, they don’t deserve to even have a team. Very disappointing experience compared to SEC.
