Great pics. I go every now and then for USC @ ucla and the tailgate on the golf course next door is a lot of fun. Was that still open for the game you went to?

Went to the Rose about 5 years ago when we played Oregon..one of the best overall sporting experiences of my life. Even with the old outdated stadium it was truly a beautiful setting

Went to the last two Rose Bowls when Stanford played. Really nice atmosphere. I loved it.

My cons were the concessions, restrooms, and getting out of your seat at any point during the game is terrible. They cram 50 seats between aisles and I was seat 24. I sat my arse down before the game and knew I was not leaving during.

My buddy was completely hungover from New Years Eve the night before and was completely miserable then entire time having to use the bathroom to puke.

If the concessions and restrooms were renovated then that is awesome!

Rose Bowl is amazing all the people are complaining about really aren't that bad unless you are like 60+ or overweight.

Even though AU lost I will always be thankful I got to see my team play for a national championship in that stadium.

It's a great setting, but the stadium is overrated. Hard to get to and from your seat. View from the lower seats isn't that great.

Beautiful setting for football. Went last year for the Auburn game. Yeah the bathrooms suck and the stadium is older but realizing the history behind that place and taking it all in was great.

When that sun starts to set it doesn't get any better.

Sight to be seen. Awesome weather and the mountains in your face. Tailgating on the golf course next door. Pretty sweet!

I had the same view for the Ducks/Badgers Rose bowl except my seats were much closer but not to low. You must be poor....

I'm going to have to add this place to my bucket-list. Sounds really cool. I'd say Rose Bowl Stadium and the Dallas Cowboys new stadium (aka Jerry's World) are probably the 2 top stadiums I want to watch a football game before I die.

I'll be at Jerryworld for the title game, just got confirmation on my work schedule.

If you go to the Rose Bowl, don't go for a Bruins game. Bowl game or bust. It's an exciting atmosphere. Don't mistake what I'm saying for a huge tailgating scene. Not like that, especially if you come from a distance and can't bring everything and the kitchen sink.

It's just exciting because of a huge game about to take place and the weather never disappoints. The mountains are beautiful, at least to me. I'm a sucker for a mountain scene.

I had 4 tickets. Two were down low and two were up high. Had to purchase them separately. But yea, I got the poors after that trip.

Went to the Rose Bowl three consecutive years (2011, 2012, 2013).

It's a cool stadium and looks much bigger once you're actually in your seat.

Tailgating is fun. I stayed at a buddy's in San Marino. I don't remember the process to get a spot, but my buddy's dad always woke up incredibly early in the morning and parked in the lot before sunrise. We all woke up and made our way down there where we were stocked with food, beer, and liquor.

Inside its great. Outside is awful. Getting in and out on a small two lane road is beyon awful, and tailgating is pretty bad. Didnt enjoy being on a golf course in the middle of tons of overpriced houses.

Usually played on Mississippi State bred bermudagrass.

I went for Bama v. Texas. Very cool atmosphere. Awesome houses leading up to it. The concourse felt like an old amusement park inside when I was there. Definitely could use some upgrades but it's probably still my favorite game I've been to.

Beautiful/magical setting.4 time Rose Bowl veteran.

Just a long trip to the bathroom and not many tunnels to get out.

Never had my seat interrupted as many times by people going potty as in the 2011 Rose Bowl.

Rose Bowl game is special. Can't wait to go again

Went to the 1997 Rose bowl game, Michigan against Washington St. Something special ! But the stadium is a DUMP ! Seats are way too close together, all concessions are OUTSIDE the stadium ! The rows are like 100 seats long, so if you have seats 50 and 51, think about that ! No one can buy more than 2 beers at a time.
