Or do they have empty seats for lame teams?

Atmosphere at the Coliseum is a blast. Tons of tradition. Stadium isn't the loudest becuase of the open end. Its a track stadium, not a football stadium. Tailgating is great. Campus is gourgus. Get there early or the night before becuase people mark off spots by about 5 am in the middle of campus. Parking is very expensive because it is downtown LA. I'm a student so I've never had to deal with it, but I hear the parking downtown and taking the bus is the best option otherwise you will be paying $40 to park at the least. It will be very loud for a night game, but from what I hear
OSU is getting alot of tickets so it might be more subdued than normal.
And Autzen is the loudest stadium in the country, not the horseshoe. They set the record for the loudst noise ever at an American sporting event against SC last year.
