Respectfully disagree. They play in one of the coolest stadiums in the entire country. I doubt that proximity to campus is a huge issue. They moved there from the Coliseum in 1982 specifically because attendance had been a problem and attendance issues at the Rose Bowl are recent. They've had good attendance (averaged over 76K in 2014) and bad attendance (the last five years have been their worst attendance).
One of the problems is all of the competition (2 NFL teams and USC). They just need to be more competitive; people will come.

I hate going to games at the Rose Bowl. Even in the mid 80s, most games not featuring USC were about 40-60k, which feels empty there. It isn't close to campus, so students don't go.Respectfully disagree. They play in one of the coolest stadiums in the entire country. I doubt that proximity to campus is a huge issue.

The seats are far from the field.
They left the Coliseum because it was right next to USC.
Schools should play at on-campus venues, or least ones close to the school.

It's most accurate to say they moved out of the Coliseum because the Raiders were moving in.
Regardless of anything else, attendance has been good some years and bad others (especially the last five).
I will say that I want to go back there for a MN game to relive some 2011 memories (almost went last year but went to South Bend instead). I have zero interest in going to a game in LA for any other reason.

Yeah, lots to do in SoCal, including going to the beach. Question is do they have the commitment financially to be competitive in the Big 10Respectfully disagree.

The one game I went to in LA, it was pouring down rain and water dripped on me the entire time though I was sitting in a roofed stadium. And the game sucked. But hey, the weather out there is perfect!

FYI, CW games are typically streamed on YouTube if you live in the sticks like me and your local carriers don’t have a CW arrangement.

The engineers are up on Clemson by 3 and threatening to score again after the Tiger kicker Clemsoned a field goal.

They look bad, they barely beat Troy last week. Georgia tech beat Colorado by a touchdown who just got smoked by Houston.

From Week 2 ... Gary Patterson quit:
Gary Patterson, who has worked as an official with the ACC since 2002, terminated his contract with the conference after last weekend's UConn-Syracuse game, according to conference broadcast partner ESPN. At issue was a highly awkward replay review in the final minute of the first half.
The sequence that caused Patterson (no relation to the former TCU head coach) to quit in frustration began when Syracuse quarterback Steve Angeli had his arm hit on a pass play that began with 1:02 left in the second quarter. The wobbly pass traveled about 9 yards before falling incomplete, with officials signaling the play dead.

Thanks. I switched from satellite to FUBO last month so I could get most of the games. FUBO for this region does not tel CW. USF vs MIAMI is on CW and I wanted to watch and will now !!

Would have loved to have been able to listen the officials conversation with the replay booth during Arizona situation last night.
