I'm very concerned about the elevation of the LA Coliseum

You’re not getting this kind of in-depth analysis at Doogman or anywhere else! You’re just not.

where do i send my $10.99?

Yeah, I'm real concerned about their stars

You mentioned she’ll plunger you if you lose. So if you win… butt stuff. Obvious answer is obvious.
-
What about the effect on altitude though?

Reminds me of the Tua post from Alabama.

dude should be more concerned about getting shot in the coliseum.

That’s quite a theory, but my googles say you don’t normally see athletic performance impacted until going 150m (492 ft), but the difference is negligible. (At 1000m (3280ft) you start to see more of drop but even that’s small - 2 to 4%).EsophagealFeces said:I know this sounds retarded, but hear me out. According to the googles, the elevation of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is a mere 141 feet above sea level. However, I posit that it plays much higher than that, at least for part of the game. At the beginning of the 4th quarter, they light the Olympic Torch at the Coliseum. Anyone who's taken basic chemistry knows that the formula for combustion is: fuel + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water. The torch burning literally sucks the oxygen out of the stadium, thus creating artificial elevation. USC is used to this, we are not, which gives them approximately a 14 point advantage in the 4th quarter according to my scientific calculations. If the Dawgs can build up enough of a lead to prepare for the 4th quarter elevation, 9-0 here we come. If not, my wife is going to be inserting the plunger, possibly literally. We haven't finalized the wager on this game yet.
One also needs to consider meteorological and environmental impacts on chemical reactions. Temperature, solar radiation, wind speed, and mixing of air pollutants from area traffic all need to be factored in. So the Olympic Torch could be a ticking time bomb or a non-factor.

Can't argue with science.

Ring Sting don't care about no elevation

I'd be more concerned about the draft it is going to pull from the other end of the stadium. If USC is moving the ball towards the torch in the 4th quarter, I'd expect 65 yard field goals to be chip shots for them.

In the 80's, I was working at a small school in SoCal, and our AD had been on John Robinson's staff at SC. He asked if I wanted tix when the Huskies came to town, and (duh) I said "Yes, please". My "date" (my boss) bailed at the last minute, so I went alone, to a night game at the Coliseum, driving a car with Washington plates.rodmansrage said:dude should be more concerned about getting shot in the coliseum.
On Monday, he asked "How was the game?" ("We" lost)...When I told him I went alone, he lost it, "If you didn't make it out of there, I would have lived with that for the rest of my life". He couldn't believe that I not only didn't get jumped, but no one trashed my car...

By the looks of things, there has been quite the development in the area. The little alley littered with junk to get to the yard we parked the car in was probably not the best move, but honestly never really felt unsafe before or after the games, but looks like it has been lost to development. Most of the lots are gone now so I'd venture it requires going even deeper into the neighborhoods. Used to be a nice little deal parking at Manual Arts just south. That said I remember a buddy of mine noting that many in the area look out for students and people attending games, as SC has been a big employer for the neighborhood. Like when the riots were happening, SC was barely, if not touched at all. I assume the walls that surround the campus were also a deterrent.Fishpo31 said:

Yeah, when I went to the Rose Bowl in 2019 I told my friend I wanted to venture out and see Los Angeles (I had never been). After doing the normal touristy stuff I asked to see the USC and UCLA campuses.huskyhooligan said:

We took the Metro (yes, you read that right) through Westwood and then South Central. (I had no idea where USC campus was located.)
I didn’t feel unsafe either, but definitely a “not in Kansas anymore” moment as we went along the rail route. -
Another CSB …
Attended a conference at USC one November weekend. Thought it would be nice to bring my better half since she is always cold. Plane gets in late. We’re driving in a poorly lit area near campus in pre-GPS times and I come to a stoplight. Another car pulls up very slowly next to ours. Wife and I look over and the driver rolls down his window, tosses his cigarette butt and very slowly flips us the bird.
I was sure bad things were gonna happen, but we made it to our hotel (on campus).
Just two middle-aged honkies driving in an area we shouldn’t at a time we shouldn’t.
Wife didn’t speak kindly to me for the rest of the night -
Next time this happens ask for some click-clack, had him a $20, take whatever he does or doesn’t give you and be on your honky little way.TheHB said:Another CSB …

North and West of SC has been developed and gotten a lot better. South and East are still shitholes.
To some degree, the cartels taking over large parts of South central has cleaned up some of the petty street crime because Whyte peeple getting stabbed over an iPhone 10 is bad for business. That said, fent zombies are on parade nightly if you care to cross the street on foot towards the freeway.
Bacon wrapped hot dogs and modelos from unlicensed street vendors in the parking lots are still the shit though! -
You guys are bunch of pussies. I wouldn't live there. But I'm not scared to go there.
