Yep. I've seen the difference just by watching TV. During games at the Coliseum, the fans seem almost distracted by the action on the field. There is very little emotion and involvement in the game. Meanwhile, we're all screaming so much before, during, and after the play that we give ourselves headaches. There is no comparison. USC football, despite it's tradition, has a very trendy appeal, and thus, a fickle fanbase. It's similar to the Lakers. When they're winning, Staples Center is the place to be. Otherwise, don't bother. There are too many other neat things to do in LA.
