Hoffarth: Why all the noise about Coliseum loudness?

After all the things that went bump in the week, we wonder how frighteningly shallow one can be on All Hallow’s Eve:

• By the sound of things, one of the most pressing item on USC’s Home Depot fix-it list for the crumbling, crotchety Coliseum had more to do with new seats, wider aisles and more luxurious luxury suites.

Does anyone know a way to make the place louder?

Someone is apparently beating the drum, claiming the atmospheric decibel levels don’t give USC’s football team enough of a home-field advantage.

Say again?

The school just submitted a proposal to do about $270 million worth of major nips and substantial tucks to this old gray lady over the next few years.
