<p>Coliseum</a> Commission approves controversial new lease with USC - latimes.com</p>

<p>Let the bidding war for naming rights begin... </p>

<p>...Trojans... expect a HUGE inflow of donation announcements.</p>

<p>Anyone hear any rumours yet on what sort of renovations they might be making to the coliseum other than upgrading the locker rooms?</p>

<p>They are going to rip out and replace every seat. Hopefully the Sports Arena will be demolished and replaced with green space and underground parking.</p>

<p>USC is planning to renovate the area around the Coliseum and expo park:</p>

<p>I actually posted that originally. It is a student project that I would like love to see happen, but I am not sure because in order to do so, USC needs control of the parking lots.</p>

<p>This is what the university would like to see for the soccer stadium. <a href=“http://www.insidesocal.com/soccer/coliseummls.png[/url]”>http://www.insidesocal.com/soccer/coliseummls.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
