MAILING LIST


USC Football Game Day Tailgates:



End the season with a bang by celebrating USC's last two home games with the Trojan Club of Beach Cities. TCBC tailgates are going out in style as they've returned to buffet-style dining and drinks served until half-time.

This means you can eat what you want, when you want without having to worry about giving up your meal ticket - because there are no more meal tickets! Instead, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, chili, potato salad, chips, dip and cookies will be available to you anytime.

You're also free to watch the game just steps from the Coliseum as TCBC broadcasts the main event on two large flat screen TVs. Grab a few friends, a cool beverage and root for SC as they take on the Pac-10.

The tailgate will open three hours before the game and will remain open until one hour after the game. Food, water and soda will be served throughout the event, though alcoholic drinks, including beer, wine and well drinks, are only available until half-time.

The TCBC tailgate is located 50 yards north of the headless statues outside the peristyle end of the Coliseum. It's across from the south entrance of the California Science Center, next to the Trojan Football Alumni Club (TFAC) tailgate and is surrounded by an orange plastic fence that features TCBC banners at the entrance.

Remaining Games:
  • 11/28/09 vs. UCLA (Tailgate opens at 4:00pm)
  • 12/05/09 vs. Arizona (Tailgate opens at 9:30am)

You can pre-purchase your tickets anytime before the tailgate begins. If you pay online after Wednesday at noon, however, you must print out your PayPal reservation confirmation and present it at the tailgate entrance. In the event of a sell-out, children's admission is guaranteed if their accompanying adults have pre-paid online.

Each pre-paid attendee will also receive a multi-use coupon for $10 off any purchase of $50 or more at all Salt Creek Grille locations (ask for a manager and mention TCBC to receive $20 off your bill of $40 or more).

Unless otherwise noted, all TCBC events are rain or shine. Payments for events are non-refundable.

*Game times are subject to change without notice. Visit www.USCTrojans.com for current game and television schedules.
