Might need mask for SMOKE.

THIS is my biggest concern, some wildfire springing up nearby and forcing a postponement of the game.

does the route posted work on the way back from the game as well?

---

Yes. You just do it in reverse. It's a $1.75 one way on the train, and a $1.75 to get back home.

lsualum96, what is traffic like from Old Town Pasadena to Rose Bowl bus lot two hours before kickoff?

Google maps says that it normally takes less than 10 minutes to get to the stadium from old town Pasadena… Obviously on game days it will take longer… But how much longer?

---

Good question Chicken. So here's the thing, it really depends on how crowded the game is. But what I WILL tell you is that the streets are blocked off, and the cops only allow car traffic to go a certain way from Old Town. The shuttle buses from Parsons get the priority to the stadium from Old Town. So, the cops basically form a "bus lane" in which the buses essentially get to drive to the stadium traffic free, with no stops, whereas the cars are stuck in the traffic. If you think you're gonna go out there and set up to tailgate early in the morning, then go ahead and drive. If not, take the Parsons shuttle.

That's the problem. It's only 15 miles but metroline ride shows 1 hour + your time to get to Union Square and then teh time to walk from Pasadena station to the Rose Bowl. Looks like 1 1/2-2 hours to do the whole thing. Might be the best option but I was hoping for something a little quicker.

---

The ride FROM Union Station does not take an hour. I've done it many times. If you ride from the JW Marriot then yea, total ride with transfers may take you an hour and a half. Again, I think the OPTIMAL route is to drive to Union Station, park in their underground parking for $8, and take the Gold Line from THERE. That ride on the gold line is no more than 35 minutes.

Also, If any of you guys want to come early, but want to ride the Parsons shuttle, just hang out with the rest of the SoCal alums at Barney's Beanery until the shuttle starts running around 2:30 pm...............................

Has our great feathered leader announced yet if there will be a party in LA and its location?

---

that may be a game day decision. Finding a place to hold our group may be tough. Stay tuned to the Tiger Rant for more info. I will be giving away limited edition TD koozies, made with neoprene...the same material used in Navy SEAL wet suits.

I'm gonna have to get my hands on one of those

Well, that helped make up my mind on if I was going

because that's how I always refer to the great feathered one

One thing I’m doing is on Friday night John Williams is conducting the LA Philharmonic at the historic Hollywood Bowl with his most famous movie music (Star Wars, Harry Potter, jaws, Indiana Jones, so much more). I ended up buying 4 more tickets than I need. Email me gar90@aol.com if you might be interested.

I feel like this is going to end up as a street party in front of barneys beanery. Maybe they will plan accordingly and set up bars out in front of their restaurant. Get DJ Marsig out front on the 1’s and 2’s.
