The Trojans will be making a very rare appearance at a baseball stadium when they meet Boston College in the Dec. 26 Emerald Bowl at AT&T Park.
The most recent USC football games at baseball or dual-purpose stadiums were the 2003 and 2005 Orange Bowls in Miami's Pro Player Stadium, home of baseball's Florida Marlins, and the 2005 matchup at Hawaii in Honolulu's Aloha Stadium, home venue of minor league and high school baseball contests. All three games, like the Emerald Bowl at AT&T Park next weekend, saw the baseball infield dirt removed and covered by grass.
Not including the 1958-61 seasons, when the Trojans shared the Coliseum with the Dodgers, USC is 8-2-1 in games played in baseball (or dual-purpose) stadiums in the last 50 seasons. Take a look at all of the Trojans' contests in baseball venues since 1960:
