USC is 10-20 minutes away, have a 78k seating capacity and they have no trouble filling up the seats.

You’re spreading myths.College football hasn’t had the same allure in LA with both teams not performing up to expectations no matter what it is. Now, UCLA has gotten the worse of it, but today’s record low attendance was a few reasons:
- rose bowl announced mandatory masks for games two weeks ago. I know a few people who sold their tickets after that
- half the fanbase doesn’t believe in Chip Kelly and didn’t renew season tickets after 2019.
- it’s week 0 and students aren’t in school until week 4, so they were barely any in the student section
- it was hot (100+) and one of the reasons I didn’t go personally even though I was in town today. August/sept games can be unbearable at the rose bowl
Pre-COVID, USC in 2019 average its lowest number attendance in two decades and many Trojans are not planning on going until Helton is gone. You’ll see similar numbers, albeit a bit higher obviously, in the Coliseum next Saturday.
Against Hawaii, and his issues was injury, and a crowded backfield
