Thread: Three Major European Clubs Coming to the Rose Bowl this Summer

Is the Rose Bowl always a mess like this or is it just going to be retarded because of Barcelona?

you should have seen what Depeche Mode was like.

I've never really had trouble getting in for ucla football games, but I've usually gone 4+ hours early and tailgated.

Getting out is always an adventure. Bring something to occupy your time for an hour or two after the game.

I'm sure there'll be soccerfest and other things going on all late afternoon.

Over 85,000 people are expected to attend this match. We encourage you to consider the Metro Gold Line or Shuttle Busses from Old Pasadena in lieu of parking at the Rose Bowl.

The gold line goes to the Rose Bowl? Has anybody taken it before?

I think you've got it. They're offering a free shuttle from the Gold Line.

SHUTTLE TO GAME - FREE

The Old Pasadena FREE Shuttle Bus to the Rose Bowl will be operating from adjacent to Parsons Engineering parking lot located at 100 W. Walnut St (cross street Fair Oaks), Pasadena, to Lot B at the Rose Bowl. The bus ride to and from the stadium will take about 10 minutes along a special designated route. The bus will drop you off within 100 feet of the Gate B entrance. All buses are wheel chair and handicap accessible. Parsons Engineering parking lot has ample handicap parking. Parking at Parsons is $20. The shuttle will begin at 4:00PM and run continuously until 90 minutes after the game ends. The shuttle is a quick and convenient alternative to driving to the Rose Bowl. Parking is also available as low as $6 at nearby public parking lots. Parsons is located in the heart of Old Pasadena with over 100 restaurants and public parking within close walking distance to the FREE shuttle buses.

METRO GOLD LINE

The Metro Gold Line will operate its normal service to and from Pasadena's Memorial Park Station every 20 minutes. The Memorial Park Station is just two blocks from the shuttle bus pick up point and also in the heart of Old Pasadena and conveniently close to over 100 restaurants. The last Gold Line train from the Memorial Park Station departs at 12:38AM. The last Gold Line train departure that connects to the Red Line departs Memorial Park Station at 11:38 PM.

Historic Information on the Rose Bowl Stadium

Last time I went to the Rose Bowl I took the shuttle to the stadium and then walked back to Parsons, beat standing in line for over an hour, at least I put that hour to good use and walked.

That was the first soccer match I've ever attended. I had an absolute blast!

Barca is so good it's scary. I can't imagine what it's like seeing them play at full speed.

I've never been much of a soccer fan but I think I'm starting to understand why it's the most popular sport in the world.
