The venue:
The home field for the Trojans can pack in more than 92,000 cardinal- and gold-wearing fans though usually not that many show up. Still, since this is LA, that means horrendous traffic. The earlier you get there, the better. If you'd rather skip watching the game in-person, the 901 Bar & Grill is the place to go to get sloshed with USC students.

At the Stadium:
For tickets, the best way to pick up a pair is by searching StubHub or Craigslist: The bigger the game, the earlier you'll want to lock them down. (Start shopping now for UCLA tix.) Tailgating--complete with sound systems, flat screen TVs and grills--is encouraged at the stadium, and campus is only a few blocks away. Make sure to leave time to check out the Trojan Walk, the team's pre-game march to the field from Christmas Tree Lane.

Insider's Tip:
Dont' miss the USC song girls outside the Coliseum for a rousing rendition of "Tusk," featuring the brilliant chorus of "U-C-L-A Sucks."
