About

UCLA Bruins at the Rose Bowl

The UCLA Bruins celebrated 100 years as a college football program in 2019, which is a testament to the team's long and decorated history. A member of the Pac-12 Conference's South Division, the Bruins won the national championship in 1954 and have claimed 17 conference championships and two division wins. UCLA has also played in over 35 bowl games, winning the Rose Bowl five times. Since November 2017, the Bruins have been coached by Chip Kelly, who replaced former coach Jim Mora. The Bruins have played home games at the historic, 90,000-capacity Rose Bowl in Pasadena since 1982.

UCLA Bruins Football History

The UCLA Bruins played their first season in 1919, and joined the Pacific Coast Conference in 1928. A stint in the Athletic Association of Western Universities followed starting in 1959. After several name changes, that conference eventually evolved into the Pac-10 in 1977 and Pac-12 in 2011. The Bruins' stint in the Pac-10 coincides with some of their most successful seasons. Head coach Terry Donahue led the team from 1976 to 1995, and guided the squad to a 151-74-8 record during that time.

UCLA has also fielded multiple College Football Hall of Famers, including future NFL stars such as quarterback Troy AIkman, safety Kenny Easley, receiver Tom Fears and tackle Jonathan Ogden. The Bruins can also boast having one Heisman Trophy winner, as quarterback Gary Beban took home the honor in 1967. Future baseball legend Jackie Robinson even played football for the Bruins, including on the undefeated team in 1939.

UCLA's most famous football rivalry is with crosstown (and intra-conference) opponents the USC Trojans, with whom they once shared a home field, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Every year, the two teams meet for a game, where the winner earns the right to control a former train bell, dubbed the Victory Bell. Ferocious school spirit runs rampant every year, which often spills out onto the field, including during the legendary 1967 game where the conference championship and a Rose Bowl berth were on the line. Nicknamed the "Game of the Century," the contest found No. 4 USC upset No. 1 UCLA, 21-20, thanks to a 64-yard touchdown run by Trojans star O.J. Simpson.

    Great Day at the Rose Bowl

    by Kolt on 10/9/18Rose Bowl - Pasadena

    Arrival from the interstate was easy. Parking was in the grass of a golf course for $30. They had numbered balloons flying in the air to show our parking area. Walked through tailgaters to Security. Security was slow and the same as a NFL game. Restrooms and concessions located all around the stadium. Rose Bowl is huge. Walked through the tunnel and just stopped to take it all in. TV does not do it justice. Sections, rows and seats well marked. Seats are narrow. Really narrow. Good amount of electronic score boards and big screen monitor. Exit to the parking lot was easy with numerous portable lights. Balloons were lit so we found the number 3 section quickly. Getting on the interstate was slow. Police did not have all the intersections cut off so there was some long delays. Glad we attended our first football game at the Rose Bowl. It was a great day!

    Night Games start too late

    by ABC123OC on 9/18/18Rose Bowl - Pasadena

    The Night Games on the Bruins schedule start wayyy too late. With a 7:30 kick-off, we are going to be there at least until 10:30 before we get out of the parking lot. Then drive home. It's exhausting, especially when the game is as bad as this one was. More fans might stay to the end for moral support if it was earlier in the evening. Also hate the entrance changes at gate F.

    How are you supposed to get there and leave

    by Setruby on 9/18/18Rose Bowl - Pasadena

    There was no Uber/Lyft pick up or drop off. We left a little into the third quarter to make sure we could catch a ride home. We were told there was no set place to go, and that there were shuttles that could take us to old town to get a ride, but that they wouldn’t start leaving until after the game. We walked a little away, and tried to get a car. The Lyft driver called us and said the event staff was refusing to let her in. The event staff near us told us to walk farther. We ended up walking about two miles up a hill to the middle of nowhere. We finally were able to get a car, over an hour since we left the game. I will not be going to anymore rose bowl games if there is no planned or safe way to get home.

    by WilliamWP on 9/4/18Rose Bowl - Pasadena

    We spent the whole day and the traffic wasn’t as bad if you allow plenty of time. The tailgate parties make it fun.

    UCLA Football

    by KendallsDad on 11/27/17Rose Bowl - Pasadena

    The football program needs great improvement but the pregame activities are fun, the atmosphere is lively and the food at the Rose Bowl has improved. This particular game was exciting as UCLA won it in the last minute but it is sad to see a stadium that is not full.

    Traffic tarnishes a great venue

    by calnerd on 9/6/17Rose Bowl - Pasadena

    Luckily, I arrived 3 hours early because it took an hour to park on the golf course and another 30 minutes to walk to the stadium. Getting out was about the same. All the local alternative roads around the stadium were closed off too. It's a beautiful setting, but not worth the traffic hassle for me to attend another event there. Going to a game against a nobody opponent with half the attendance and traffic would probably have been a much more enjoyable experience despite the reduction in competitiveness on the field.

    Great Bruins Win!

    by JG900 on 9/6/17Rose Bowl - Pasadena

    Incredible comeback Win, but my concern was with the ushers. Few of them were extremely rude to my group of friends- all who are UCLA alums

    Great Game! Just wish Start Time had NOT changed

    by Maricucha on 11/23/16Rose Bowl - Pasadena

    The game was great but don't understand why the original start time of 4:30pm was changed. The game didn't finish until after 11:00pm and it was a VERY COLD night.
