USC season-ticket holders and the true cost of Coliseum renovations

LOS ANGELES >> Wayne Scott reflected earlier this month on how long he has attended USC home football games at the Coliseum.

It’s been eight decades.

Scott, a 95-year-old retired school principal and an alum, traced his first game to 1937 when he was a high schooler from Huntington Beach. The Trojans were hosting Oregon that October.

“I watched guys that are old-timers now,” Scott said.

He pointed to USC’s most recent run of athletic directors: Lynn Swann, Pat Haden and Mike Garrett. Scott was there too in the 1960s and 1970s when Swann, Haden and Garrett put on pads for the Trojans.
