Rosebowl

I will never come to this place again. I came here for Cruel World 2023. They cancelled the last best part of the show due to lightning on the other side of the valley. This was the Fire Department's call, but the venue and promoters did not handle the situation professionally. They advertised the show as going on rain or shine, but had no rain check plan in place. The sound cut out several times during several of the performances. Again, amateur hour. Not sure if this is a Rose Bowl problem or a Cruel World problem. The promoters rescheduled the event for next day. However, they also sold new tickets so the show was extra crowded. A pure money grab. Parking was more amateur hour. They didn't have VIP or clubhouse parking for the rain check. Parking here is a solid 2 hour adventure. The parking staff didn't know where to send people. We asked one of them directly. He had no idea. People just gave up and parked in the grass on the surrounding hills. The capacity crowd and poor crowd management made it nearly impossible to see the show. See the attached pics. Unless you get here 5 hours early, or want to get physical with the other attendees, you are not getting anywhere near the stage. I have no plans on coming back here. Clown show.

Truly one of a kind! Even though the Rose Bowl is one of the oldest football stadiums out there it still stands tall. The atmosphere is amazing and the food and amenities are very good. Make sure you get here at least once in your life!

This is a massive stadium and a very iconic venue. I remember going here for the 1996 World Cup! Solid spot, it’s an older stadium but it holds up to 90k people I think. For the UCLA games it’s a great spot to spectate with a lot of tailgating spots across the street. The food options are plentiful and the bathroooms too. Lots of stairs so be ready to work them legs. I can’t wait for the Olympics to come and hopefully have an event here.

Amazing stadium but VERY POOR city planning for events with dozens of thousands. Just one road gets to the parking lots and there's always a huge bottleneck so plan to arrive at least two hours before your event. Also note that there's almost no data coverage in this area so your phone will be useless and paying for parking takes about 4-6 minutes per car and adding to the horrible traffic jam. I would never come back if it weren't for the great events they host. Prepare for a nightmare to get there and for the best show once you're through the gates!

Ancient stadium with great moments in history, jk it is an old stadium but not ancient yet... Rose Bowl stadium has it's moments in history which become memories for others to see. Including me great stadium, friendly staff, great food, and drinks to chill out while you're enjoying the festive scene.

This stadium is huge! We Utahns tried to fill it up at 87k but we were short by 3k. I was pleasantly surprised on how well the golf course parking was. If you want to get out quickly try to get parking at the very back. The bathrooms were well managed, but good luck trying to get food without waiting in line for long. Worth the pilgrimage to this college football mecca.

A storied stadium for a reason! Between being home for the Bruins, FIFA football/soccer matches, many concerts and festivals, as well as a regular flea market, the Rose Bowl is one of the many centers that make Pasadena a cultural hub for Los Angeles. The facility has shown its age but continues to excite locals and travelers alike year after year. I highly recommend visiting for a game and tailgate!

I’ve been coming to The Rose Bowl for years, it is such an iconic venue and a wonderful place to watch a game. I recommend buying parking in advance if you don’t have season tickets, this will save you a few bucks. The Parking lots generally open Six hours before kickoff. It’s a beautiful location to tailgate and gather with friends. Seating is all seat backs expect for the end zones which are benches. There are numerous concessions outside near Lot H and port-a potty’s. Once inside The Rose Bowl the food options are pretty good. The prices are generally high with the average cost of $10-15 for food & $15+ for beer. You are allowed to bring in a clear bag with sealed water bottles and snacks.

The Rose Bowl is a great venue. Celebrating a 100 years this year 2022, it’s an LA staple. We do our morning runs here, sometimes we’ll take a trail. The track loop is 3 miles long so one lap and you got a good work out in on foot or bike. There’s ample parking, and a good cafe on the golf course. The only thing is there aren’t many bathrooms or water fountains so make sure you come prepared with an empty bladder, a bottle of water and a hat in those hotter days.

BTS & crowd were amazing. The Rose Bowl itself was out dated & not quite ready for the 70k crowd. We seem to be in lines going nowhere. Employees were clueless. Signage no where. Concession inaccessible. Bathrooms outdated or port a potty. Performance worth ever inconvenience.
