FOOTBALL PARKING & TRANSPORTATION
ON-CAMPUS PARKING
Fans without season parking passes are encouraged to park on the USC campus (north of the Coliseum) and walk through Exposition Park. Available campus parking lots and structures are available for $50 on a first-come, first-served basis until full. All campus lots are cashless and open six (6) hours prior to kickoff (subject to change).
Please check USC Transportation's News & Announcements page at usc.edu/transportation for up-to-date details.
Reserved Campus Parking
Limited prepaid reserve parking is available through JustPark in the USC Flower Structure and the Royal Street Structure for $60.50.
Drive-Up Campus Parking
Most USC campus parking structures now feature Text2Park technology. All you need is your license plate, a mobile phone, and a credit card.
Drive straight in, park in any unmarked space and text the location code (by the elevator or stairwell) to 25023. These structures are patrolled using LPR (License Plate Reader) technology, so be sure to enter your license plate information correctly and pay as soon as you park your car.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Beat the traffic and Go Metro: Visitors are strongly encouraged to ride EÂ Line (formerly "Expo") trains or J Line 910 (formerly "Silver")Â express buses, as Metro runs enhanced service on game days.
E Line riders may exit at either the Expo/Vermont station or the Expo/USC station (both stations are located north of the Coliseum), and J Line 910 riders may exit at the 37th St./USC station (east of the Coliseum on I-110).
Trains take just 15 minutes to get from Culver City or Downtown LA, where you can transfer via other Metro Rail lines. Skip post-game lines at the fare machines by loading round trip fare or a Day Pass in advance and remember to TAP your card on validators before each boarding, even when transferring to other lines. Each person must have a TAP card as they cannot be shared. Plan ahead at metro.net or use Google Transit.
Free parking on weekends is available at many stations along the E Line, J Line 910 and other connecting lines. Parking at nearby stations Culver City and La Cienega/Jefferson may fill up early.
