USC Likely to Move to SoFi Stadium for 2028 Football Season because of 2028 Olympics
USC will likely play home games at SoFi Stadium due to a $100 million temporary Olympic track at the Coliseum, with limited time to restore the field before the 2028 season.
- With the Paralympics closing on Aug. 27, 2028, USC is expected to play its 2028 home season at SoFi Stadium after a $100 million temporary track is built atop the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum field.
- The Olympics plan calls for an 11-foot-high temporary track built by scraping turf to concrete and placing columns every 10 feet, with construction starting after USC's 2027 schedule ends in November 2027.
- The two-week window between the Paralympic closing on Aug. 27, 2028, and USC's Sept. 9 home opener complicates field restoration, USC spokesperson Cody Worsham said `USC and LA28 are working in lockstep on all logistics for the Olympic and Paralympic Games`.
- Legal action from Pasadena complicates any shift of college games to SoFi or the Rose Bowl, as the City of Pasadena and the Rose Bowl Operating Company recently sued UCLA Bruins and SoFi ownership.
- The Coliseum has been USC's home since 1923 and no major sports team in Los Angeles has played longer there; UCLA's pursuit of SoFi could bring all four major city football teams under one roof.
