As you probably noticed if you attended USC’s scrimmage Saturday, the Coliseum has received a makeover.

The new lease agreement with the school has led to numerous upgrades, including new lights, improved concession stands and new carpeting in the locker rooms.

But the most noticeable change — by far — is the cardinal and gold striping around the outer rim of the stadium.

The bigger, bolder and (in my opinion) better color scheme replaces the aqua that had characterized the Coliseum since the 1984 Olympics.

You can see both looks in these photos. Now tell us what you think:
