A major part of the LA Coliseum renovation is the restoration of the Peristyle in the east end zone of the nearly 100-year-old stadium. The iconic architecture features the torch of the 1932 and 1984 Olympic Games, and arches paying homage to the original Colosseum in Rome.
USC began the process in March by removing a pair of scoreboards on top of the Peristyle. Originally installed in 1983 after the arrival of the Raiders, the boards brought a much-needed touch of technology to the Coliseum, but were an albatross atop of the classical Peristyle.
The outdated boards have been replaced by a pair of HD displays from Daktronics in the seldom-used upper corners of the east end zone.
