USC Attendance Drops Amid Heat and Criticism | Los Angeles News
Description
USC’s home opener drew a shockingly low crowd—just over 51,000—the smallest at the Coliseum since 2018. Coach Lincoln Riley fired back, calling critics out for spreading a “false narrative” and insisting attendance has been climbing under his leadership. Even rival coaches weighed in, with Texas Tech’s head coach mocking the sparse crowd and the new California coach voicing disappointment. USC acknowledged heat as a factor and vowed to turn things around, especially with a Friday night game looming. For a program under such intense scrutiny, this attendance dip has reignited debates about the Coliseum’s atmosphere—and whether it can reclaim its electric vibe.
