- -Seating appears mostly complete, including areas which will have some obstructed views of the field
-A sod playing field has just been installed and it will be bordered around the perimeter of the stadium by a warning track type of dirt
-Exterior entrance to the stadium is still undergoing work and glass windows appear to be going up
along the south facade of the building.
The LA Coliseum will open in August of 2019 at the start of both USC and the LA Rams football season.
I was in the hospital for 2 months after being in a car accident 4yrs ago. I would watch this video almost everyday in anticipation for the Saints coming to play the Rams that next season with my brothers.
Watching this for the 1st time since gets me emotional. Great video. The music brings me to tears.
I’m attending USC as a junior transfer in 3 weeks. Can’t wait. USC and UCLA were my dream schools since 8th grade.
Proud of being part of that renovation team 🏗🏟👷🏼♂️
Good Job !! Kudo's to all of you that had a part in this.
The new seats were much needed. The new tower was much needed. But it has totally messed up the stadium look. Should have done it like the Rose Bowl.
I agree.
the coliseum should've been just demolished like Texas A&M or Washington huskies & build it ground up. I'm pretty sure the SC donors have deep pockets.
Dirty Sanchez yea but they wouldn’t do it because of the “history”
Like The UCLA Rose Bowl? I agree sir.
Both stadiums should have been demolished and built new. Most Rose Bowl seating is miserable for anybody over 6’ tall.
Home to my beloved USC Trojans Football Team. Awesome facility, no matter how old it is, still the best place to watch a football game. Alumi Class of 1979. FIGHT ON
Ronnie Lott, Marcus Allen and Anthony Munoz..you went to school with 3 hall of famers
@steelerdave2000 i love the Rose Bowl...but i don't understand why they didn't replace all the seating with new ones when they did their upgrades a few years back..
steelerdave2000 lol typical Fucla fan..
steelerdave2000 lol you’re trolling people on TH-cam making 200k?! What a loser
@steelerdave2000 hey steeler dave..are you really that stupid..? some of the greatest Steelers in history are Trojans.. Lynn Swann, Troy Polamalu and Ju Ju Shuster..you ungrateful dick
Looks fine by me. Sure, there are obscure seats. Don't buy them.
The old lady needed a face lift , badly.
First of all, I'm happy a stadium built for the 1932 Olympics is still standing and functional. The columns at one end are still awe-inspiring. It looks to me like they put more luxury boxes in and screwed over the folks who wanted to have 50-yd-line seats in the upper section. I'll bet this reduces the total seating capacity which might not be a bad thing for some events. The wider pitch will also mean more soccer events.
It wasn't actually built for the '32 Olympics. They did hope to bid on the Olympics once it was designed, but LA hadn't even been awarded the Olympics when the stadium was finished.
@@CJ87317 True. The stadium was finished in the spring of 1923. President Warren Harding was to visit it in August of that year but died in San Francisco before he was to come to LA.
He actually died the day he was supposed to speak at the stadium!
I wonder if those newly installed seats were numbered before or after installation ? And wow, so many sore comments here. It's an historic landmark. The renovation had to reflect that historic significance. Hence, no major restoration.
Was there for the 1984 Supercross 😊
The obstructed seating is a poorly designed renovation. The design could’ve stretched to the curves of the stadium. More luxury seating, and no obstructed seats.
The wealthy got what they wanted to be separated from the rest of us in exclusive boxes and they didn't care if there are obstructed seats
1:04 Absolutely ridiculous. Any poor idiot willing to pay an arm and a leg just for nose bleed seats in that section close to the tower with only a view of no more than 1/4 of the field or even less than that needs a head check.
1:55 The very same nose bleed section will only have a view of just the endzone! hahahaha
@@DanielBrown-sn9op There was a much better plan from the 1970s that they should have used!
I agree, but it wouldn't have been that different. A little longer and not as far down, but maybe they thought that would have taken away even more from the original structure.
Thanks Mr Kay for keeping us posted. Was waiting to see what it looked like
Obstructed seating ,,,,,perfect
I love the drone footage. Thanks for the update.
It would have made more sense to have the structure set mostly outside the stadium with minimal loss of stadium seating. But, the damage is done.
Lawrence Forsyth sounds good but apart of the master lease USC agreed to was that they were not allowed to alter the outside of the stadium so they were very limited with what they could do. I like the reduce seating because it wasn’t like the Trojans were selling out 93,000 seats every home game
Hey honey let's pay $600 for these obstructed seats so we could enjoy the sounds of other fans cheering and we can check the score on our phones and watch highlights of the game on the way home.
Great Video. I am Excited for the season!🏈💯
Bobby Padilla so you guys can lose in the super bowl?
It actually looks great. The old press tower was horrible. It looks very modern in a century old stadium.
Thanks 😊 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Sodded and bordered by warning track dirt... Wow! Amazing! Lol
I'll be there in November 2019 for Rams v Ravens #MNF!
Me toi
Lamar Jackson vs Donald
I’ll be there too!
Hopefully I'll be tailgating with Rams Empire. First US Rams game for me
I'll be there rooting for my Ravens.
Looks like renovations are just about finished. Field is being striped and stuff. The Old Lady is looking pretty good. The stadium was in dire need of a make over.
I think those WWI Veterans will be happy...…..Where ever they are. RIP.
What the hell does 'bordered by warning track dirt'?
So what is different? New boxes look bad from the outside looking in. Could have wrapped around with stadium instead of just putting back bad obstructed seats. Field still sits in there offset and looks weird.
Nice to see it coming along. Was there setting rebar panels for the concrete under the new seats. That was not a fun job. Local 12 IUOE!
ryanburbridge I can only imagine.
the new seats are long overdue, good job on that..but the Scholarship tower was designed horribly..
Those obstructed seats better be at least half off ticket price.
Looks awesome
I think it would have been better if they kept the old tower but changed the seats to the ones they have installed already
As a Bears and USC fan, I’m kind of getting the vibe of the terrible Soldier Field renovation happening all over again.
Not even close.
Is it done? Looks the same or even worst.
Fight On!!!
By 2028 they had to bring back the athletic track for the Olympics return for the 3rd time after 44 years since 1984
Wow. Looks nice. Shocked they put those seats in so fast.
Stadium looks nice. Now even more people can watch USC lose in person...
😂😂😂😂
Does anyone now what those vertical gaps are in the lower bowl? It looks like missing seats or something. Can they not match the curvature or something?
Looking good. Now make the stadium more vertical.
I was good with the COLISEUM the way it was. Renovate the team
Renovate Clay Helton and the AD. Both should be gone for being mediocre
Urban Meyer in 2020.
I'll always miss the retired jerseys that was strong motivation to Trojan athletes.
Can’t wait to go see the Rams !
Me too. It will be a great last season in that historic venue. #RamsHouse
It’s going to be bitter-sweet.... so many memories in that stadium, but the new crib looks amazing!
Played my high school championship there in 99’. No Track in the Coliseum? Thats USC stadium now
Obstructed view seats. Lol!
To those who only think demolishment is the only option: ONLY the city of Los Angeles demolishes historic landmarks, such shame; unlike other major cities Los Angeles does not seem to have a solid, cohesive, unified landmarks; it’s all about tearing things down, and btw I’m only talking about historic landmarks
There was a better renovation plan from the 1970s that they should have used!
It wasn't better. It changed the outside of the stadium completely and made it taller. The proportions are all off.
Great video with great shots. Poor choice in music though.
Poor choice in renovation too.
Nice
Who will buy obstructed view seats, maybe donated tickets
Somebody will buy those tickets in that obstructed section, a true fan or somebody who just want to be there for a Rams' game or a die hard U.S.C. fan. There is a market for everything even for obstructed seats and I will not be surprised if they cost no less than $150 each. I was going to go to a concert once at the Microsoft theater in L.A. and there was a section that was obstructed by some pillars and they were in the upper area and each seat was selling for $195 and those promoting the concert let the customers know before purchasing the tickets that there was almost no view of the stage from that section and still that entire section was sold out. Some people just want to be part of the ambiance and say that they were there for a certain event.
Carving a niche into the bowl for luxury boxes similar to what they did in Jacksonville would have been a better solution, than this giant box obstructing views. Who’s going to pay good money to see half the field.
How are they fitting in the track for the olympics? Can the coliseum finally get a Bowl game?
I don't see why not. They've got Bowl games in Detroit, NYC, Boston, hell they've even got one in Boise, Idaho. Nobody wants to go to those places in December. A game here would be nice.
Only opening and closing ceremonies are going to take place here
The track is going to be suspended on a subfloor that will raise it back to the original level pre-1990s renovation. they'll use the lower level for staging and locker rooms.
The only other bowl game the L.A. area is getting will be at the Inglewood stadium, literally called the "Los Angeles Bowl"
@@jaimesandoval1988 well... I read that the ceremonies were going to be in inglewood so...
It’s not 100% perfectly.
But this stadium were built in 1932. It still stand it without any ruin by earthquake.
Los Angeles Rams will leave this stadium soon. USC football team will be permanent home. It’s about time to building nice suites and press box.
Keep going to build some more suites around the coliseum!!
First it was completed in 1923 not 1932. The 1994 earthquake caused an extreme amount of damage which was repaired.
Too bad that U.S.C. was not in charge of the L.A. Memorial Coliseum when Al Davis asked for this coliseum to be renovated and for the addition of luxury suites. I honestly think that if that was done back then by the city of L.A. the Raiders would have never left L.A. What a historic coliseum, the home of the Summer Olympic games twice, the former home of the L.A. Dodgers when they relocated to L.A., the home of the Rams twice and the former home of my beloved Raiders and is still standing after several earthquakes and it looks that it will last longer than the Roman Coliseum. It will host the opening or closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympic games for the third time in 2028. What other city and coliseum in the world have that kind of history and record? I think none, only it only happens in LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.
@@EnjoyLifeNow24 its going to host all of the track and field competition of the 2028 Olympics as well
mg19cal , I don’t see any track and field on regular field. It might be renovate for Olympic field again. It’ll be first time to that field since 1984.
@@lawrenceforman6999 they are making a elevated performance surface specifically for the Games, with locker rooms and prep areas underneath it. This has all been doucmented
Yes, those are the seats I want to pay all my money to sit in! The obstructed view! Best seats in the house, see one third of the field if you are lucky!
Naturally raffling them off for free is not an option, no sir, we want money! Worse design I have ever seen! To many chiefs involved with this planning and it shows!
How are they gonna turn this back into an Olympic stadium for the summer games?
probably take a year to renovate. usc play in inglewood then?
You people DO realize this stadium will also host the 2028 Olympics, right?
Only the opening and closing ceremonies
@@mfl8276 try again
archpaper.com/2019/06/2028-olympics-los-angeles/
Can the lower level rows of seating be removed, and a track installed again? Otherwise,... There's no track! Or, are the new seats near the field permanent?
@@jsivco3sivco785 its going to be a removable track and infield, the lower level seats will be covered by it
However design the renovations for this amazing stadium, should've went back to the drawing board. Obstruct seating!?! Really! Building this tower without noticing an "x" amount of seats being partly or mainly obstruct views for any event is unacceptable. I bet those who pay a lot and found out that their seats are those seats, should get a discount or a total refund. The structure itself is terrible. If i was the architect for this stadium, i would've design it around the stadium like the NFL packers. Still sacrificing seats but it'll avoid any obstruction.
There was a much better renovation plan from the 1970s that they should have used!
@@rockyracoon3233 please share
Looks the same to me! 😂
U gly
S tadium (mostly)
C ompleted
Really? Might as well go all around with that.. what? Oh yeah, I forgot. It's owned by the state, county and city. They will never spend the big cashola on a project like that
It needed a renovation but there are still way too many goofy sections. The main example would be the tower in front of seats. Weird big screens. Overall a disappointing design job. Oh what could have been?
I don't get it I think it would be a better I idea to demolish the whole stadium and build a new one
@A A that new stadium is for the rams and chargers
I know they are building the stadium at the old Hollywood park what I’m saying these historic arena they made it worse than what it was. This atrocity of tower that they builded inside the bowl will hinder the visibility of the fan for any type of event, especially if it will be a football 🏈 game. The fan experience for the ones seating on those areas will be a bad one they will see only half of the field. If you cover those seat with a tarp will clearly state that they didn’t plan the construction well. They should have built it outside of the bowl of the 🏟. I mean if you are going to touch a landmark like LA Coliseum at least make something that make it better not worse.
One of the few survivors of the bulldozer mentality in the United States
Obstructed seats??? That's where I want.to sit when I pay to see a game
the tower is a horrible design to accommodate too few people; and all the obstructed seats that USC seems to not want to admit to. Really a mediocre job at best.
college sports is so corrupt.
Not nearly as much as pro
Why can’t you sit all the way around the stadium lol? I don’t get the point of the tent at the bottom? What are those poles sticking up at the top of the stadium ?
The stadium was built in 1923 for the 1932 Olympics. There used to be a track for track and field events. There also used to have seating in the peristyle end of the stadium for football games but sitting 40 yards from the playing field for an endzone view was horrible and later replaced with that tent/bleachers structure you mentioned. The poles are flag poles, during the Olympics the poles flew the flags of the participating nations.
Not a fan of this one bit, the Coliseum did need new seats but this new corporate/premium area ruins an iconic US stadium. It blocks hundreds of seats and looks terrible. Also, they'll have to rip up the bottom seats nearest the field in 8 years time for the Olympics running track. They should have done it like Rose Bowl, Michigan Stadium, Notre Dame Stadium and Arrowhead in Kansas with the expensive seats and press box on top at the back of the stand.
1) why not center the football field on the ground? 2) because the field isn't center neither are the new suites and luxury seats 3) those "obstructed seats" are terrible who do they expect to sit there 4) the drawing look better than the product 5) how much will it take to fix the obvious errors?
the renovation looks awful but
in order to the football field ij the center, they would of had to build temp, removal.etc stands on both sides.
i dont think USC cares about those fans, they care about the rich boosters
It sure need a SHADE COVERED ROOF all around cause last time I was there the Sun was burning af
It was Raiders vs Rams . And the game was @ 1pm pre- Season
I'm just saying . #RaiderNation 🏈☠
Still not a fan of the rich people tower otherwise I think the stadium looks great.
Money well wasted on a flawed design... Wait until they tear out half of the lower seating for the Olympic track. The press box side will look even more ridiculous then....
@A A After the last Olympics they dug the field lower to add approx. 25-30 rows of seats closer to the football field... For the next Olympics these rows "will" have to be eliminated. The field is too narrow as it is now. Look at the tunnel you can see the addition to where the track needs to be.
@A A Respectfully, I been attending USC football games since 1981, and there was 25-30 rows added after the 1984 Olympics. No disrespect, but watch and see...
This is what they meant when they said “Putting lipstick on a Pig”
lot's of history in that "pig"...
Should added canopies around the stadium . What a waste of money
0:05 that looks awful. theres no design there.
Quincy M.D.
waste of money... feed the need
America's most beautiful stadium!
That's a bullshit statement. This is the worst flawed designed stadium ever built. Someone should be fired for this.
@TheBigPayBack Rose Bowl = most beautiful setting! But you might be correct!
You really need to get out of SoCal once in a while.
it does look like someone dropped a hotel into the bowl.
@TheBigPayBack rose bowl used to be nice but they built a monstrosity of their own . the hotel is too big as well.
theres a video screen on ONE side of the stadium ..lol
ive never seen a stadium like that.
IM BUYING THE SEATS ON THE SIDE OF THE BROADCASTERS BOOTH WHOS IN CHARGE OF WASTING MONEY BY PUTTING SEATS ALONG THE BROADCASTERS BOOTH
No offense but the stadium still looks like shit and very ancient like really outdated. The stadium should've been fully redone similar to Soldier Field in Chicago back in 2003. Anytime stadium with a bowl feature is outdated and needs to get redone. You guys spent all of that money when it will need to be redone again in 10-20 years time.
Who will go there? The drug addicts living on the streets? Just waste of money.
Thats a lot of money to invest in a sports stadium. Wvy not fix roads, sidewalks, feed the homeless. Shame on you. May GOD have mercy on your soul.
Cause the athletics earned the money and can use it where they went to lmao
@@Brandon-qd2lb Then shame on the athletics and may GOD have mercy on THEM.
USC is a private university. Its not their responsibility to fix road, sidewalks and feed the homeless. There is more than enough money in L.A to fix all those issues but they are not going to get fix and stay fix with that crappy L.A. mayor in charge.
This is democracy. The land of opportunity. I want to live in a country that provides luxury. You can tell the bums to get their ass up and get to work.
@@deucefly1062 except when they need stadium deals...
I thought this was a joke. Who ever designed this and who ever gave the go ahead to build it should be sentenced to going to every event there and sit in an obstructed seat. What an awful rebuild. They will be taking it back down within 10 years as crowd size drops and they dtart loosing money. It's an awful stadium now.
Alumni money well wasted, LA Coliseum will always be a dump.
