Thousands of fans will descend on the Rose Bowl and Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Saturday as UCLA and USC begin their football seasons, and officials at both stadiums are making adjustments to help attendees cope with the heat anticipated to bake both venues.

At the Coliseum, the stadium is lifting its restrictions on water carried into the venue. Fans can bring an unlimited number of clear water bottles up to 20 ounces in size. Empty refillable water bottles are also permitted. Free water cups will also be offered at all concession stands. According to USC, cooling fans will be operating at all entrance gates. A shade tent with seating will be available at First Aid Gate 1, with additional shaded areas at the Heritage Concourse on Level 1, and at Olympic Plaza.Officials urged fans to drink plenty of water and limit consumption of alcohol, coffee and soft drinks.
Fans may also notice that members of the Trojan Marching Band will not be in traditional uniforms. The university announced Friday that the band will not be in full dress for the event due to the extreme heat conditions.
