USC has officially announced that its Oct. 11 game against Michigan at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is sold out, marking a major moment for Trojan football.
This isn’t just any game — it’s the first time Michigan visits the Coliseum as a conference foe under USC’s Big Ten membership, turning the matchup into a marquee event. With demand so high, the Coliseum will be packed for what many consider the most high-profile home game of the season.
Last year, USC pulled off three home sellouts (vs. Penn State, Nebraska, and Notre Dame) — a feat not seen since 2012. What this signals is a resurgence in fan engagement: people are buying back into a vision that USC’s program is on the rise.
But it’s not without its skeptics. Some fans and observers note that “sold out” on paper doesn’t always mean no tickets remain for resale. Still, the optics are powerful: a full Coliseum for a big-time showdown sends a message about USC’s relevance in the modern college football landscape.
With a prime-time 4:30 p.m. PT kickoff airing on NBC, and two ranked programs clashing on one stage, the atmosphere is primed to be electric. For USC, the sellout is an opportunity — a chance to reclaim home field dominance and prove to recruits, rivals, and fans alike that the Trojans are back.
