The history hits you as you walk through the Olympic Gateway, past the bronze statues of the perfect athlete, under the Olympic Cauldron, and through the arches into the Peristyle end of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Just looking through the prism of


college football history, the Coliseum is a shrine. USC has won 11 national championships there, as well as seven Heisman trophies and 24 Rose Bowls (no Pac-12 or Big-10 team has even appeared in more than 20). It also housed UCLA from 1928 to 1981. But the Coliseum is also a National


Historic Landmark, as it has hosted Olympics, Super Bowls, World Series games, the All-Star Game, a mass by the pope and the Los Angeles Rams and Raiders.


A USC Game Day features all the


college pageantry you can handle, from its lively tailgating scene around the Tommy Trojan statue and Heritage Hall (where all the trophies are dis- played), to its famous marching band


and Song Girls. During the game, the majestic white horse Traveler is trotted out onto the fi eld, and the Olympic Cauldron is lit at the beginning of every fourth quarter. Like UCLA, the USC


golf team bounces around to the best courses in Los An- geles. USC also has playing privileges at Los Angeles CC, Riviera and Hillcrest, as well as Annandale and Wilshire, which at one time hosted the PGA Tour’s L.A. Open. There are several public facilities in Greater Los Angeles that offer multiple courses to play, including Lost Canyons (two Pete Dye designs) and Brook- side (two William P. Bell layouts that ring the Rose Bowl). Two of the most popular (and packed) mu- nicipals are Griffi th Park and Rancho Park, which also was a former host of the L.A. Open.
