Getting There
Most fans drive to the Rose Bowl, and parking is plentiful but can cost $40–$60 in official lots. Rideshare works but expect significant surge pricing and long pickup waits after the game due to limited road access in the Arroyo Seco area.
🅿️
Parking
The Rose Bowl offers a shuttle service from various Pasadena locations, and Metro's Gold Line (L Line) stops at Memorial Park Station, about two miles from the stadium. Free shuttles sometimes run from Old Pasadena on game days, so check UCLA Athletics' website for current options.
🚌
Public Transit
Budget extra time — the two-lane roads into the canyon create bottlenecks.
⚡
PRO TIP
Park in Old Pasadena and take the free game-day shuttle to avoid the post-game traffic gridlock on Arroyo Boulevard.
