About Rose Bowl Stadium - Pasadena

Rose Bowl Stadium opened in 1922 and became a full enclosed bowl in 1928 after its original horseshoe-shaped design was completed at the south end. Owned by the City of Pasadena and operated by the Rose Bowl Operating Company, it holds approximately 88,500 fans for football, with capacity that can expand or adjust for concerts and other large-scale events. The stadium is located at 1001 Rose Bowl Drive in Pasadena, surrounded by Arroyo Seco parkland and golf course areas.

The venue is home to UCLA Bruins football and hosts the annual Rose Bowl Game, one of the most prestigious college football games in the country. Its event calendar also includes major stadium concerts, international soccer matches and tournaments, the monthly Rose Bowl Flea Market, and large-scale special events. Past events include Super Bowls XI, XIV, XVII, XXI, and XXVII, the 1984 Olympic soccer finals, the 1994 FIFA World Cup Final, and the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup Final.

A National Historic Landmark and National Civil Engineering Landmark, Rose Bowl Stadium is known for its iconic rose-and-script signage, sweeping open-air bowl, and historic role as the home of “The Granddaddy of Them All.”

Location & Transportation

Rose Bowl Stadium - Pasadena is located at 1001 Rose Bowl Drive, Pasadena, CA 91103 — in the Arroyo Seco area of Pasadena, surrounded by parkland, golf course lots, and access roads that become heavily trafficked for major events.

Driving and Parking: On-site and surrounding parking is extensive, with thousands of spaces across the golf course and parkland areas around the stadium. Lots fill well before major events, and traffic in and out of the Arroyo can be heavy. Cash and prepaid parking are typically available, and arriving early is strongly advised for football games, the Rose Bowl Game, concerts, and large special events.

Transit: The stadium is not directly served by rail. The nearest Metro service is the A Line light rail in Pasadena, and event-day shuttle service often runs from Metro stations such as Memorial Park to the stadium. Transit alone is limited, so many attendees use a combination of rail, shuttle service, rideshare, or driving.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup zones are designated for major events. Because of the stadium’s scale and single-area access pattern, post-event waits and congestion are common after high-attendance games and concerts.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are concentrated in Pasadena proper, especially near Old Town Pasadena and along Colorado Boulevard. Additional lodging options are available in Glendale and the greater Los Angeles area for fans traveling in for major events.

Venue Navigation

Rose Bowl Stadium - Pasadena has a vast open-bowl layout, with gates ringing the stadium perimeter and seating arranged continuously around the field. Understanding your gate, seating area, and walking route before arrival helps with a venue of this size, especially when parking areas are spread across surrounding parkland.

Entrances and Access: Multiple numbered gates ring the stadium bowl. Guests enter at ground level and move up or down to their seating level from the perimeter.

Seating Levels: The stadium uses a large single-tier bowl with lower and upper seating areas, plus premium club and suite areas added through modern renovations. Sideline sections are generally the most desirable, while end-zone sections are usually more affordable.

Accessibility: ADA and accessible seating and services are available. Accessible parking and entry points are provided for major events.

Getting to Your Section: Allow extra time to walk from parking to your gate, especially for major games and concerts. The surrounding parkland and golf course areas can add distance before you reach the stadium perimeter, and staff and signage help guide guests around the bowl.

Dining Options

Inside Rose Bowl Stadium - Pasadena

Concessions throughout the concourses offer standard stadium fare, including hot dogs, burgers, snacks, and soft drinks. Alcohol is typically available at major events, and premium and club areas offer upgraded food service. For high-demand events, concession lines can build close to kickoff, showtime, and halftime or intermission, so planning food and drink stops early can make the experience smoother.

Outside the Venue — Old Town Pasadena

Old Town Pasadena offers a dense restaurant and bar scene a short drive from the stadium, with additional dining along Colorado Boulevard and near the Paseo. The immediate Arroyo area is mostly parkland with limited dining, so many fans eat in Pasadena before heading to the stadium or plan for concessions once inside.

Security & Policies

Rose Bowl Stadium - Pasadena maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: A clear-bag policy is typically enforced for major events, with limits on bag size. Small clutches and medical or parenting bags are generally permitted within size limits.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include outside food and drink, weapons, professional cameras, drones, laser pointers, large bags, and other items outlined per event.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is typically not permitted once you exit. Re-entry rules can vary by event and are shown on the event listing.

How Much Do Tickets to Rose Bowl Stadium - Pasadena Cost?

Rose Bowl Stadium - Pasadena ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from UCLA Bruins football to the Rose Bowl Game and major stadium concerts.

For UCLA Bruins football regular-season games, tickets can start around $20 for more affordable areas and rise to $100 or more depending on the opponent, seat location, and demand. Sideline locations, lower rows, and higher-profile matchups usually cost more than upper rows or end-zone sections.

For the Rose Bowl Game, tickets typically range from about $150 to $500 or more depending on the matchup and seating. As one of the marquee dates on the college football calendar, prices are driven heavily by team demand, seat location, and the national profile of the game.

For major stadium concerts, tickets typically range from about $75 to $400 or more. Floor sections, premium seating, VIP packages, and high-demand headliners can run higher, especially when inventory tightens close to the event date.

For high-demand events such as the Rose Bowl Game and major headliners, buying earlier generally yields better seat selection and pricing. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections often rise.

Best Seats at Rose Bowl Stadium - Pasadena

• Best value: End-zone sections and upper rows are generally the most affordable areas, offering access to the stadium atmosphere at a lower price point.
• Closest to the action: Lower rows along the sidelines put fans closest to the field for football. For concerts, field or floor sections are closest to the stage.
• Best overall experience: Sideline sections near midfield, especially around the 40- to 50-yard lines, offer the strongest overall football sightlines. West-side seating is often preferred for afternoon shade and sun considerations.

Getting Ready for Your Rose Bowl Stadium - Pasadena Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an open-air stadium of this scale, where parking, walking distance, sun exposure, and crowd size all matter.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service can be congested around large events given the crowd size. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Lots fill well before start time, and Arroyo traffic is heavy. Event-day shuttles can help, but they add time, so build in a larger arrival window for major games and concerts.
• Wear the right footwear. Expect long walks from parking across parkland and the golf course, plus stairs within the bowl. Comfortable, supportive shoes are a smart choice.
• Dress in layers. As an open-air stadium, Rose Bowl Stadium is fully exposed to sun during day games and cooler temperatures at night. Bring sun protection or layers accordingly.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. The nearest Metro A Line stations require shuttle connections for many events, and shuttle travel adds time before and after the event.
• Know your entrance. Your gate number and seating level appear on your ticket, and a quick look before arriving can save time around the stadium’s large perimeter.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
