USC Trojans' State-of-the-Art Football Facility Construction Update

While the Trojans play in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, one of the most historic and famous stadiums in the country, the USC football program has not had the facilities to match other top programs in college football, until now.

"The Bloom Football Performance Center, scheduled to open in summer 2026, includes two full-length outdoor practice fields – one turf and one natural grass – and a three-story building featuring state-of-the-art spaces dedicated to helping USC's student-athletes reach their fullest potential in all aspects of life," the Trojans announced when construction began.

In the same statement, Riley praised the Trojans' commitment to student-athletes and the football program as a whole.

"USC offers the best of the best; from academics to location to athletics, it's first-class in every way. Now, we will have the football facility to match. With the continually evolving demands of college football, this facility is going to be on the cutting-edge of sports science, media, recovery and nutrition, with top-of-the-line resources to offer our student-athletes. It's going to be the perfect home for our team," said Riley.

Renderings for the Bloom Football Performance Center reveal some of the amenities that will be provided to future student-athletes at USC. When the new facility opens, the Trojans are getting a new locker room, meeting rooms, weight room, players lounges, hydrotherapy pools, and more. Also designed into the building are event spaces to host USC families, alumni, and/or recruits.

According to the Trojan Athletic Fund, USC has raised $174 million with a goal of $225 million for the new Athletics West campus that will feature the Bloom Football Performance Center as well as a new stadium at Dedeaux Field for the Trojans baseball program.

Despite not yet having access to the brand new, state-of-the-art facility, the Trojans currently hold the No. 1-ranked recruiting class for the class of 2026, according to both On3 and 247Sports. What will Riley, Bowden, and the rest of USC's coaches be able to accomplish on the recruiting trail once the Bloom Football Performance Center opens?
