Product Description
USC ended the 2004 season on top of the college football world after a resounding victory over Oklahoma in the Bowl Championship Series' title game. It was the 11th national championship for a program that has won more than 700 games in more than a century of play. Trojan football is much more than a litany of on-field accolades, though. It's also the marching band and the song girls, “Conquest” and “Fight On,” Traveler and the Coliseum. It is the locker-room tunnel, Tommy Trojan, the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day, and not just one, but two, annual rivalry games. This book chronicles many of the dramatic moments and colorful characters in one of college football's most storied programs.

GREAT REVIEW April 27, 2006
In researching USC's football history for a series of books I am writing about the Trojans' storied history, I found this to be easy to read, highly informative, and well written. Jim Gigliotti has done a fine job here!

Great overview of 'SC football and gameday traditions December 27, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
To call this an "almanac" of USC football may be going too far, but it is packed with a lot of great information in a very easy to read layout. There are game by game summaries of the '72 season, as well as treatments of other major games in school history. All of the traditions are discussed, and there are lots of statistics cited. I own "Conquest" and the DVD History of USC Football and this Stadium Stories is more informative and comprehensive. I wish they'd made the DVD parallel this book. The only drawback to the book is that the pictures are black and white. But I gave it 5 stars anyway because of the great price. A must have for Trojan fans, and a great value.
