On the day California hails its full-scale reopening amid a pandemic on the wane, UCLA and USC football fans can celebrate the renewal of a treasured fall tradition: their home stadiums teeming with activity. Athletic officials from both schools will announce Tuesday that the Rose Bowl and Coliseum will welcome back fans at 100% capacity starting in August, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who asked not to be identified because the announcements had not been made public. Details about safety protocols at the stadiums are expected to be announced later. As part of the full reopening plans announced last month for California’s five Major League Baseball teams, state officials recommended but did not require that fans provide proof of vaccination or a negative test for COVID-19. Face masks are not required for fully vaccinated fans at those venues.

That means UCLA fans can start planning their tailgates for the home opener Aug. 28 against Hawaii. They can also lobby their friends to help offset the throng of football-mad Louisiana State fans expected at the Rose Bowl on Sept. 4 for the game between the Bruins and Tigers.

Referring to Louisiana State but not calling them the University of California at Los Angeles.

Private businesses vs a state run liberal academic institute. Expect to be required to show proof of vaccine

They'd lose out on a lot of ticket revenue if they went that direction.

Maybe they will have "vaccinated" sections similar to how Oregon baseball did it for the Eugene regional.

Does that mean more tickets will be on the market soon? I would really like to go to this game, but the prices are currently prohibitive.

So it should be exponentially easier to get tickets now?
