You scored bro. I'm in 3H, about 8 rows up from the walkway, and I paid $250.
No official LSU bars in Pasadena. Tailgating at the Rose Bowl is one of the best experiences of college football. The parking lot is a golf course. You are on grass. 100 year old oak trees everywhere. Definitely worth it. Except getting out after the game is a nightmare if you wait too long. I literally jog to my car after the game to beat the crowd.

See you there.
I tried buying tickets for the Alumni tailgate at Brookside Golf Club. But it keeps saying "You're trying to buy more tickets than available." I tried buying one and it still said that.

Does this mean it is sold out and they just haven't updated the website?

Anyone having issues buying these tickets?

Thanks.
You can walk around with alcohol pretty much anywhere on the golf course. Parking opens 6 hours before kickoff. So 11:30.
Not sure what they do at Alex Box, but I've been to Angel games and Dodger games, and no one is walking around telling people to put their masks on.
It's irrelevant. No one enforces it. Especially at a massive outdoor stadium.
You're going to love Dodger Stadium. It's a really nice venue.
I would have game day in mind. I'd rather stay closer to the stadium so I'm not stuck in traffic for 3 hours on game day.
You can show up 6 hours before the game (11:30). I would try to get there by at least 2.
That's four hours out and four hours back. You sure you want to do that on game day?
The furthest parking spots are not all that far from the stadium. But just like any other game 3 or 4 hours before kickoff should be okay. But people will start showing up much earlier than that.

General Parking
Parking in Lot H and Brookside Park and Golf Course are sold by the City of Pasadena for $25 per car in advance and $30 on gameday. Lots open six (6) hours prior to kick-off. Visit ticketmaster.com to purchase parking in advance. Handicap parking is available immediately adjacent to the Rose Bowl, and vehicles must display a valid State of California handicapped placard and registration upon entering these lots.

Parsons' Lot Parking and Shuttle Buses
Parking is also available at the Parsons' lot in Pasadena for $18 on game day and features a free round-trip shuttle to and from the Rose Bowl Lot B, beginning 3 hours prior to kick-off and ending 1 hour after the game.

Parking Lot Policies
Overnight parking is prohibited in all Lots.
Parking lots close 90 minutes following the conclusion of the game.
Parking is first-come, first-served. No saving of parking spaces is permitted.
In and out privileges are not allowed.
Anaheim isn't that far from Pasadena (reasonably speaking). It's a 40 minute drive.

Rose Bowl is a great stadium to tailgate and see a game. It's a pain to get out of after the game though. Leave a little early or jog to your car to beat the crowds!!
Venice Beach is a hellhole with all the homeless people right now. There are tons of other beach towns in LA/Orange county that would be a lot cleaner and more fun.

Hermosa
Manhattan
Redondo
Newport
Laguna
The closest bars are a 45 minute walk from the stadium.
Flights on Southwest to Ontario or LAX look pretty good. But those are out of NO.
Getting out of the Rose Bowl after the game is a nightmare. Getting an Uber would be difficult. Although I've never done it. You would be better walking a mile away from the stadium to try for an Uber.
I bought mine yesterday. Section 3H, 25 yard line on LSU side. After all the BS fees, it was $250. So pumped for this game. I live an hour from the Rose Bowl and have been waiting 15 years for LSU to come to SoCal.
The best place to tailgate is next to the Rose Bowl. Most of the parking lot is a golf course next to the stadium. It's a great tailgate experience. It's a pain to get out after the game though. I would leave the game a little early to get out before the log jam. Or jog to your car as soon as the game ends.

See you there!
You're over reacting. I live in CA. It's nowhere close to what you are picturing.

Traffic isn't terrible on the freeway. But once you get off and approach the stadium, it can get dicey. The Rose Bowl is surrounded by a really old neighborhood. If you arrive early and leave ASAP, you can avoid the traffic jams.

Anywhere along I-210 would be good. It's close to the stadium and you only have one freeway to deal with to/from the game.
