Legitimately not a bad seat in the bowl. Would love to go for a packers game.

Rose Bowl is the GOAT, anyone whining about bathrooms or the stadium being too old shouldn't be at a football game anyway. I'm sure there's a wine tasting or sip n' strokes somewhere you could go to instead.

I agree with all that's been said here. It's awesome.

Pro tip: Pay extra to get tickets in a section with seatbacks. Its worth it and then some.

Setting of the Rose Bowl is terrific. Had the opportunity to go in 2011 and 2012.

For the Rose Bowl game (or championship/playoff), absolutely. Can't be matched by the average stale modern stadiums.

For a regular season game, it sucks

A USC-UCLA game is somewhere in the middle

Ar far as the stadium being in the middle of a neighborhood, Lambeau takes that cake. Looks like your driving through a Kenner neighborhood then boom the most famous football stadium.

I went to the 2004 USC vs Michigan Rose Bowl wearing LSU gear (LSU won the BCS and USC won the AP for the 2003 season). Also saw the LA Galaxy play Barcelona at the Rose Bowl. It's a special place and a beautiful setting. Don't be in a hurry getting in and out of there though.

If anything happens to this scheduled game I might crash my car into the LSU ticket office.

Meh. The view was nice, but the stadium itself is so antiquated. Takes FOREVER to get to your seats once in the stadium.


Couldn't agree more. It's cool to be there, it's a beautiful setting, but if we're being real the stadium is a dump.

What side of the stadium do you want to sit for that view of the mountains? Looking at buying tix today

One of the coolest pics of the Rose Bowl game:



Rose Bowl just does it right when you think of what College Football is all about.

Great history. Nice stadium. Seats are too small. Concessions and bathrooms suck. Parking is no joy either

The setting is awesome. Unmatched as far as stadiums go.

The logistics of the venue are horrific.
