Officials Seek Solutions to Keep Usc at Coliseum

Summary

---

According to [Yvonne Braithwaite Burke] who sits on the Coliseum Commission, USC was requiring a 75-year lease agreement before the two sides reached an impasse last week.

Meanwhile, Sen. Mark RidleyThomas, a graduate of USC, offered a proposal during a closed door meeting this week that he hopes would keep the USC football team playing in at the antiquated Coliseum after the school threatened to move to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

Meanwhile USC, which has played its home football games at the Coliseum since 1923, then met with officials of the Rose Bowl, but was urged to find a resolution with the Coliseum before it would decide on its fate. UCLA would have the ultimate decision on if USC would be allowed to share the Rose Bowl with them.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Yvonne Braithwaite Burke urged officials at USC to sign a 50-year lease agreement that the state has proposed to keep the football team playing their home games at the Los Angeles Coliseum during an exclusive interview with the Sentinel.
