UCLA Bruins at Pauley Pavilion
UCLA plays in Pauley Pavilion in Westwood, Los Angeles, on the UCLA campus. The arena opened in 1965 and was most recently renovated in 2012. Nicknamed "New Pauley" when it reopened, the venue currently seats 13,800 and hosts other UCLA campus events, and it's slated to house wrestling and judo in the 2028 Olympic Games.
The general admission seats were great. You could sit pretty much anywhere you wanted. The game was exciting and fun. It was for a good cause, Breast Cancer Research. It is good to see lots of families and youth sports teams to come out and support women's college basketball.
Great night! Great Seats!! Venue was very clean and everyone very friendly.
Myself, my wife, my 13 yr old daughter, and her friend all went to the game.. We sat in the third row.. Right behind the bench! The game was exciting.. The girls are awesome! They were down by 13 then came back to win!!
Pauley Pavilion is an excellent small arena. I took my daughter to the Bruins vs. Utah. It was a good game and a great atmosphere. I enjoy going to the few events I have been to at Pauley. The usher staff are all very nice and helpful, it makes you want to come back.
I had an awesome time to hang out with my daughter it was great she had a lot of fun want to do it again next year thank you
The women's basketball team played their hearts out! Our family had a great time at the daughter and dads event! Pauley Pavilion is a great venue for UCLA basketball!
Always fun to see my favorite team play, North Carolina. Pauley Pavilion has been updated and remodeled and is very nice. The UCLA women's games are very kid and family friendly and it was a great atmosphere.
Took my 13 yr old daughter to the UCLA-UNC women's basketball game at UCLA. They so do it right. For the money (two amazing mid-court seats, 7-8 rows off the floor for roughly $30), I seriously doubt I could have come up with a comparable package anywhere that would have been more fun. UCLA had their pep band, cheerleaders, etc there to add to the atmosphere and excitement -- They know how to host athletic events in a fan-friendly way. Would highly recommend! We will be back during the season for sure!!!
The arena was filled with the energy of a rivalry. Our family enjoyed the whole experience, from the game to the ladies that danced (Old Skool Crew) to the music played which our kids stood up and danced to.
We went on Dad's and Daughters Day altho we were Grandmother and Granddaughter! It was a lot of fun! Most of the daughters were about 7, but there were games to win more tee shirts, cups, stickers, etc. There was a photographer who posted our photo on the UCLA Women's Basketball facebook page. Pauley Pavilion looks terrific - my first time to the New Pauley. There truly is no bad seat in this arena. Seats are read comfortable. Very nice large restrooms, several places to grab snacks and an Adidas Shop. After the games, three of the team signed autographs in the lobby. Very close parking at $11. Had lunch over at the Student Union Bldg and my 11 year old basketball player granddaughter picked out a Bruin backpack for a birthday present. It was a great day together!
This is the most amazing event in the entire city of Los Angeles. I have been attending three years in a row, and my daughter and I love it!
Sometimes I forget how there are so many things to do in Los Angeles and they aren't all outrageously priced. Really enjoyed the basketball game at Pauley Pavilion. The venue is great, seats were great and price is awesome. Very entertaining. I would definately go again.
Parking was close and easy. We had wonderful seats and had a great time. This was our first time going to a women's game and we always watch on tv.
The game was great!!! I look forward to seeing the girls play again. Our favorite is Mariah Williams coz she's so cute and little. Even though she's small, she's a great player :)
Playing the free Daddy-Daughter pre-game games/activities got us in the right Bruin Spirit, lunch provided by Subway was tasty, strolling around the Bruins Hall of Champions and Wooden's Den was amazing, and the venue for the game was cozy. GO BRUINS!
Awesome fun, value, and atmosphere! My daughter and I won so much prizes that we had to make a trip to the car to leave them to get more. The team looked good beating Washington State. Go BRUINS!
Dads & Daughters was lots of fun, cool activities for the kids, lots of free shwag, could be more activities for the older kids, but overall was good.
Great game. Got to see both teams play hard and sat pretty close for GA tickets. Fun Game.
Wooden center is intimate. Almost felt like a high school game. I really enjoyed that aspect. Food options are severely limited at the wooden center, though. Eat elsewhere in Westwood before heading to the game.
Had a great time great seats for 15.00 and no parking fee, but they could have done a few things better. 1. Line up in front general admissions. Could use a sign to denote line up location. You have plenty of other signs. 2. Not allowed to sit in first row of bleacher seats. No signs on the seats. Just an usher coming up to patrons after they sit and telling them they can't sit there. For one of the top colleges in the nation doesn't seem to be well thought out. hmmmm. 3. When they gave away the watch it was given to the booster side. Guess that is the reward for being a booster. But they already have season seats, you would think that you would try to get more season seat buyers from non-season ticket holders.
