On-Campus Trojan Family Game Day Experience cancelled due to health restrictions

Trojans athletic director Mike Bohn announced the following for fans attending the San Jose State game only:

“At the recommendation of our medical experts, we have made the difficult decision not to host on-campus tailgating and other gameday activities for the USC vs. San Jose State game on September 4. Please note this change has only been made for the first game as we manage the substantial increases in campus density and in-person activities resulting from move-in week. There are no changes to pre-game activities at the Coliseum at this time. We will assess the public health situation on campus and consult with public health authorities before making decisions about future games.

“To safeguard the health and safety of the university community as the university returns to in-person learning, campus access has been restricted and perimeter checks have been put in place at campus entrances. If you plan to park on or walk through campus on your way to the Coliseum on September 4, you will need to display your completed Trojan Check badge to members of our Care Crew.”

Coliseum Tailgate/Trojan Fan Fest: Subject to COVID protocol, the Trojans Fan Fest is located on Christmas Tree Lane just east of the Coliseum, with everything a Trojans fan could want – food trucks, music, games, merchandise, free giveaways, vehicle displays, and more. Trojan Fan Fest opens four hours prior to kickoff at every home game.

Trojans Walk: Subject to COVID protocol, the Trojans team busses should arrive at the Coliseum around 11:30 a.m. Get there early to get a good spot to see the No. 15 Cardinal and Gold up-close.
