Coliseum, 'SC could go long-term - Daily Trojan
With the uncertainty of an NFL team in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission might reach a long-term lease with USC that would ensure Trojan football would not have to move in favor of an NFL team, said Todd Dickey...of the USC Office of the General Counsel.

As a long-term tenant, USC would provide the Coliseum with assistance in maintaining and improving the facility in aspects ranging from restrooms to scoreboards.

Currently, the commission and USC negotiate a year-to-year lease.

In return, USC would have greater access to the Coliseum.

The commitment would also ensure that the venue has a viable use for years to come even if Los Angeles does not gain an NFL team...
