Offered here is a collection of five original UCLA Bruins football ticket stubs from the 1966 season, representing four games played at the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. These beautifully illustrated tickets feature a classic black-and-white football photograph, colorful admission strips, and the signature of UCLA athletic director J. D. Morgan.
The 1966 Bruins were led by legendary quarterback Gary Beban and head coach Tommy Prothro. UCLA finished the season with an impressive 9–1 record, establishing itself among the nation's top college football programs. Beban, who would capture the 1967 Heisman Trophy, was already one of the country's most celebrated quarterbacks.
The highlight of this collection is a matching pair of tickets to the November 19, 1966, USC vs. UCLA rivalry game. UCLA defeated USC 14–7 in a hard-fought contest, securing another memorable victory over its crosstown rival. The game was especially significant as both programs entered the matchup with championship aspirations.
