Each year, we strive to improve the user experience at our tailgates. Many of our guests already purchase season tickets and the selling of game tickets has grown beyond our resources, so we are eliminating this option this year. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, however we feel this will allow you more freedom in choosing your seats to enhance your Homecoming experience. We hope you will still join us for the food, games and fun prior to kickoff.
If you do not have Season Tickets already, you may purchase your game tickets directly through the USC Central Ticket Office.
USC Viterbi's tailgate will feature an all-you-can-eat buffet of traditional tailgating type foods like hot dogs, hamburgers, veggie burgers, mac n’ cheese, french fries, onion rings, chili, salads cotton candy, snow cones, apple pies, and much more! The menu is subject to change, depending on time of day.
For those of you who are 21 and over, you may also enjoy our bar which will include wine and beer, as well as soft drinks and lemonades for those who prefer something non-alcoholic.
We will also have lawn games, a photobooth, face painting, and more activities available to you and your family to enjoy
and a special guest appearance by our very own Dean Yannis C. Yortsos!
When you arrive on campus for the tailgate, please proceed to the Epstein Family Engineering Plaza, where you can check-in. There are no tickets mailed out prior to the event.
Please bring a photo ID (e.g. driver's license, govt. ID card, passport, etc.) to check-in!

Map
![The image is a detailed black and white map of a specific urban campus or complex, enclosed by Jefferson Boulevard to the north, Exposition Boulevard to the south, Vermont Avenue to the west, and Figueroa Street to the east. It features two notable parking structures: the Downey Way Structure located along Vermont Avenue, and the McCarthy Way Structure near Figueroa Street. A significant landmark on the map is the area labeled "A. Epstein Family," prominently marked with a large "A" in a dark circle, situated near the intersection of Vermont Avenue and Watt Way. The map also includes internal streets such as Childs Way, Pardee Way, and Watt Way, facilitating navigation within the area. Additionally, arrows indicate directions to nearby freeways, specifically the Santa Monica Freeway [10] and the Harbor Freeway [110]. The Downey Way Entrance is particularly highlighted on Vermont Avenue, providing a key access point to the area. This map serves as a practical guide for locating various buildings and structures within the delineated boundaries.](https://viterbischool.usc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Invite_Back_Map.jpg)
