There are a limited number of public parking spaces in Exposition Park. For USC games and most events, parking is by permit only; there are no cash lots in Exposition Park. For more available spaces check out USC Campus Parking.
For all other events, public parking sells out quickly and rates may vary per event. Entrances to Exposition Park are located at MLK & Hoover and 39th & Figueroa. Exposition Park is managed by the Office of Exposition Park Management, a department of the State of California’s Natural Resources Agency.
Exposition Park Lots open six hours prior to kickoff for permit holders only. All parking for USC Football in Exposition Park has been sold and distributed in advance. There are no cash lots in Exposition Park during USC Football games.
New processes and technology have been integrated to help you navigate and plan your game day experience.

GAME DAY VEHICLE TRAFFIC

All vehicle traffic will be diverted toward the 10 and 110 freeways after USC football games.
Access to local streets will be limited due to temporary road closures on Exposition, Figueroa, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd.
Street closures (outlined in red on the map below) will begin from the end of the third quarter until 60 minutes after the game.
Pedestrian crossings will be clearly marked on all closed streets, please follow all directions from LAPD and LADOT.
ADA Accessible Parking
ADA Accessible parking is available in all USC Campus lots, as well as Exposition Park. By law, these spaces cannot be reserved in advance and, on game days, are offered to guests on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to an extremely high demand for accessible parking, we are unfortunately unable to accommodate all of our guests, so please arrive early to ensure that you have a space in a lot. Please arrive with your state issued placard and identification, and parking personnel will guide you to your parking area. The fee for parking is $50.

There is no re-entry for parking. Vehicles may not leave and re-enter the parking lot.

We have multiple parking options onsite and within Exposition Park for guests to choose from, and additionally, parking is available on the USC campus, which is a short ten-minute walk to the venue.
To avoid lengthy traffic and parking delays, we highly encourage all guests to take public transportation whenever possible, including the Metro E Line which has two stops adjacent to the Coliseum (Expo Park/USC or Expo/Vermont) that are less than a five-minute walk to our entrance gates.
