SEAT SELECTIONMembers will have the opportunity to select their 2019 TAF seats through an online selection process at the completion of their respective Engagement Period. Seat selection order within each membership level will be determined by lifetime giving to USC Athletics among members who have committed to a Coliseum restoration gift. Seat selection will be similar to the existing season ticket online upgrade process.
Members may only select seats within their current membership level and the corresponding sections as indicated on the 2019 seating map. For example, a current Cardinal & Gold member may only select seats within the designated Cardinal & Gold sections. Please reference the FAQ section for more information regarding membership upgrades.

COLISEUM SEATINGRECONFIGURATIONAs a result of the Coliseum renovation, many of the sections, seating blocks and rows will be reconfi gured to be more fan friendly.
The new seating confi guration will feature three levels of seating: 100, 200 and 300. We will no longer feature a H (high) or L (low) seating distinction. Rather, sections split in half with the addition of a new aisle will be distinguished as A and B. A will always be on the right side of the section when looking towards the fi eld, B on the left. All sections, including A and B sections, will begin with seat number 1 on the right when looking towards the fi eld.

2019 TROJAN ATHLETIC FUND SEATING PLAN 2019 TROJAN ATHLETIC FUND SEATING MAP SEATING KEY
TROJAN ATHLETIC FUND SEATING
The Trojan Athletic Fund was founded in 1923 to provide funding necessary to sustain the excellence of USC Athletics’ varsity sports. The members of the Trojan Athletic Fund form a global group of more than 5,000 alumni, parents, former student-athletes and friends who directly contribute to the success of USC student-athletes.
In return for their investment, Trojan Athletic Fund members have the opportunity to select priority seating in the Coliseum. The 2019 renovation of the Coliseum will include the following seating enhancements for Trojan Athletic Fund members:
• New, wider 20” seats
• Cup holders
• Additional 3” of legroom*
• Added aisles and handrails*
*applies to the majority of Trojan Athletic Fund seating sections
The ProcessAll Trojan Athletic Fund members will be assigned to a USC Athletics representative who will be responsible for engaging, educating and providing seating solutions that best suit each member’s needs. Throughout the next 15 months, every member will receive a personal phone call and an invitation to visit the Coliseum Renovation Preview Center to consider available seating options.
Priority order for engagement and seat selection will be determined by Trojan Athletic Fund membership level followed by lifetime giving to USC Athletics. Every eff ort will be made to accommodate members who wish to continue to sit together.
THE COMMITMENTAll Trojan Athletic Fund seats require an annual Trojan Athletic Fund membership and most seats require a one-time Coliseum restoration gift per seat. These gift amounts were determined based on construction costs ONLY associated with stadium seating enhancements.
Coliseum restoration gift amounts are payable over four years and will have the same tax deductibility characteristics as current annual membership contributions.
New in 2019Beginning in 2019, the Scholarship Club will expand to include three levels of giving: $20,000, $30,000 and $50,000. In addition, Trojan Club members will now receive the added benefi t of access to Trojan Athletic Fund priority seating sections. USC Athletics will not raise annual membership dues prior to the 2022 football season. Annual membership dues have not been raised since the 2005 season.
