LA Coliseum practically empty for Rutgers-USC

Warnings were issued in Los Angeles on Friday about a traffic nightmare. One that was going to be far greater than usual.

There was a World Series game at Dodger Stadium, a high school football classic at SoFi Stadium, a Laker game at Crypto.com Arena, and numerous concerts.

Oh, and there was that storied Big Ten matchup between Rutgers and USC at the LA Coliseum. Kickoff was set for 8 p.m.

Apparently people interested in the Scarlet Knights and Trojans decided to heed advice and watch the game from home. You could have had your choice of seats.

There is nooooooobody here but in fairness I’ve been told there are other sporting events in the city tonight pic.twitter.com/zzDigpGDUh
