USC announces updates to Coliseum fan experience for 2026 season
Fans attending USC games at the Coliseum can expect several new elements this season
USC's 2026 football season begins on Saturday with a match against San Jose State at the Coliseum. In preparation for the season opener, the university has introduced several enhancements to the fan experience. Among these changes is the appointment of KTLA anchor Hayley Elwood as the new in-stadium host, adding a new dynamic to game days.
New concession items are also set to arrive at the Coliseum. One particularly exciting addition is the availability of beer served in a trojan sword-shaped container. USC has also unveiled its game themes and giveaways for the 2026 season. Fans can look forward to rally towels for the Ohio State and Oregon games, a drone light show during halftime of the Fresno State matchup, and pre-game fireworks displays before every home game.
USC Athletic Director Jennifer Cohen expressed her excitement about the upcoming season, stating, "There is nothing in the world like being in the Coliseum on game day, and we cannot wait for what promises to be an unforgettable 2026 season." She emphasized the team's commitment to providing a top-notch experience for the Trojan Family, acknowledging fan feedback and striving to honor the cherished traditions of the Coliseum.
