Rose Bowl Bound? Leave Early Say Officials

Fans attending Tuesday's Rose Bowl are encouraged to arrive at the stadium before 10 a.m. to avoid Rose Parade traffic, carpool, use public transportation or park in the Parsons Corp. parking lot and take a free shuttle bus to the stadium.

Rose Bowl stadium officials advise fans driving to the game to approach
the stadium from the north, which will save time, as it avoids parade traffic.

The stadium parking lots will open at 4 a.m. The price to park is $40.

Fans planning on parking at the Parsons Corp. lot are advised to park
there before 10 a.m. or after 11:30 a.m. because of heavy traffic exiting from
the lot and adjacent Old Pasadena parking lots between 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
related to the Rose Parade.

The price on game day to park at Parsons is $40. Reserved parking can be
purchased for $30 in advance online at rosebowl.lazparking.com.   

Shuttle bus service from Parsons will run continuously from 10 a.m. until approximately two hours after the end of the game.

Metro will run additional trains and more frequent service on the Metro Gold Line from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. with trains running as frequently as every seven to eight minutes to and from Pasadena.

Riders should exit the train at the Memorial Park Station, walk three blocks west on Holly Street to the Parsons Corp. complex where a free shuttle bus will take them to the stadium. The boarding location is on Pasadena Avenue, north of Union Street.

The opening kickoff is set for 2:10 p.m. for the game between Big Ten
Conference champion Wisconsin and Pacific-12 Conference champion Stanford.
