The camera sits at about the 30 yard line and looks across the Coliseum's field during halftime of the USC and Notre Dame football game. The Band of the Fighting Irish marches on the field at left. Beyond the field, the stadium's stands stretch across the image. At center, the rooting section depicts a large shamrock.
