In a Nutshell

The Syracuse Orange and USC Trojans meet at MetLife Stadium for a college football matchup on a professional field

The Fine Print

Football teams are constantly finding new ways to outwit their opponents, from adopting a West Coast offense to hiring a head coach. See which play they call next with this GrouponLive deal to see New York's College Classic—a game between the Syracuse Orange and USC Trojans at MetLife Stadium on Saturday, September 8, at 3:30 p.m. Because the ticket is a G-Pass, Groupon customers can use it to enter the venue directly; they will not need to redeem their Groupon at will call. Gates open one hour before kickoff. Choose between the following options:

  • For $42, you get one G-Pass for lower-level end-zone seating in section 128 (up to an $85.20 value, including fees).
  • For $52, you get one G-Pass for lower-level sideline seating in section 118 (up to a $105.60 value, including fees).

Venturing outside their respective home fields of the Carrier Dome and Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the Syracuse Orange and USC Trojans meet on neutral ground, MetLife Stadium, for a rematch of last year's 38–17 USC victory on the West Coast. The Orange rally behind head coach Doug Marrone, the offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints during their ascendant 2006 season. He brings the same offensive knowhow he brought to Drew Brees in '06 to current Syracuse starting QB Ryan Nassib, who last year set the school's single-season records in completions and yards and found the end zone 22 times without even once passing the ball to a golden retriever. On the other side of the line of scrimmage, QB Matt Barkley leads the No. 1–ranked Trojans into battle hoping to secure the Heisman Trophy at year's end.

Home to the NFL's New York teams, MetLife Stadium brings the game to life with grandeur unlike anything on either college's home turf. In the corners of the arena, four 30'x118' HD video screens broadcast hard hits and long completions at titanic size, and more than 2,100 HD monitors relay the on-field action throughout the stadium, ensuring fans won't miss a moment of action while grabbing concessions or asking a mascot for fashion tips.


Due to security restrictions, G-Passes must be printed out and presented in person at the event. They cannot be redeemed through Groupon's mobile app.

The Groupon Guide to: Babe Ruth Myths

As the story of Babe "The Baby" Ruth's baseball career continues to be told to new generations, the facts are becoming more and more distorted. Dispel common Ruth myths with his handy guide:

Myth: Before hitting a home run in the 1932 World Series, he "called his shot" by pointing his bat toward the center-field bleachers.
Truth: Grainy film footage confirms that "The Sultan of Swing" did in fact point toward the bleachers before hitting a home run. However, Ruth faked the home run by taking a powerful swing, catching the pitched ball, discreetly swallowing it, and yelling, "A home run! A home run is what I just struck with my bat! Now I run the bases before you all!" The ball, and the truth, weren't revealed until much later, when Babe Ruth's doctor penned the bestseller Things I've Removed from Babe Ruth's Body: The Story.

Myth: A sick child asked Babe Ruth to hit a home run for him, and Ruth did.
Truth: "The Great Home Run Provider" did hit a home run for the child, and then two more; however, the only sickness the child suffered from was being selfish.

Myth: Babe Ruth died on August 16, 1948.
Truth: Though a death certificate confirms this date, "The Nightmare on Baseball Street" continues to live on in all of us because of his final wish—for his body to be donated to Hansen Paper Co. and then slowly parceled out into their paper products.

How many baseballs did Babe Ruth swallow?
