Always fun to be at a Bruins game (note that I'm a former Bruin so may be biased here).

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.

by MFBusto11 on 11/3/15Rose Bowl - PasadenaUCLA dominated their HOMECOMING game against Colorado. They almost gave it away but a 4th quarter interception and a touchdown preserved the win.
Rating: 3 out of 5by Anonymous on 11/2/15Rose Bowl - Pasadena Good seating for the most part with the promo price. Parking cost was ridiculously expensive. Had to pay $25 to park on a gulf course and walk half a mile before getting to the field stadium.

Rating: 2 out of 5 Ok but not wonderful
by paswines on 10/7/15Rose Bowl - PasadenaGetting to the Rose Bowl is a pain. Parking, if you're early and disabled is ok but for $25???? Ridiculous! Seats were not great due to way too much traffic blocking our views. Don't understand why people go to a sporting event, then spend the whole time going to the concession stands. And why bring children who aren't interested and run around causing trouble? You get a much better view, more comfortable seats, good replays, and much better food if you watch the game on TV. Won't go again.

by JMP813 on 10/6/15Rose Bowl - PasadenaThe family and I came to watch our first ASU game as visitors. The atmosphere with the UCLA Fans was cool to see in their Sea of Blue. The Fans showed great sportsmanship walking by all the tailgating they were enjoying. Inside the stadium was just as great. Nobody got annoying as we sat among many UCLA fans in section 24

Rating: 4 out of 5 the Rose Bowl
by MGBleeder on 10/6/15Rose Bowl - PasadenaIt was a really nice atmosphere to be in. Not sure if it is typical, but had a great time amongst the opposing teams fans (I was rooting for the away team). Awesome location and atmosphere in the event. Parking was strange
Rating: 1 out of 5 Horrible parking
by GeorgeZ99 on 10/6/15Rose Bowl - PasadenaI knew, you really have little choice. It was a sell out or darn near it so I knew parking would be horrible and it lived up to expectations. They say there is a shuttle, but it was none existent and no signs helping you. Parsons shuttle is very slow and only drops off on one side of the stadium but next time I'll take that, if i go again.

Rating: 5 out of 5by Downey25 on 9/22/15Rose Bowl - Pasadena General admission is awesome because you aren't locked to a seat. You can sit in either section behind the goal posts. High or low. It is first come first serve but it's awesome!
Rating: 5 out of 5 UCLA vs BYU
by BruinForever on 9/22/15Rose Bowl - PasadenaAn instant classic. Overcame three picks to finally get our first lead with 3 minutes to go. BYU couldn't make it three last second miracles in a row. Seats OK, game great.
Rating: 4 out of 5by BYUFAN on 9/22/15Rose Bowl - Pasadena The experience was good, and the spirit of the Bowl and the fans was so much fun. The bathrooms were clean, and never had to wait in a line. Would have appreciated more vegetarian and/or healthy food options.
