In Reply to: Rose Bowl traffic posted by donutello on August 29, 2024 at 19:07:13
for about 7 (Mora's last season). I never had any problem driving up Arroyo Blvd. from South Pasadena (Mission Street to Grand Avenue across from Trader Joe's, and then Grand turns into Arroyo).
I liked to park in Lot I near Brookside Park. I always arrived around the time they opened the gates to the stadium, and never left my seat until the game was over, so traffic was rarely a problem.
I did take the shuttle a couple of times. I didn't care for it. Long lines to get out at the end of the game. The busses still get stuck in traffic. And exiting Parsons really isn't much easier than exiting the Rose Bowl parking lots.
Pro tip: If school is in sesson, the band used to work on their field show after the game. Great entertainment and it lets the traffic thin out even more.
Again, this was still true 7 years ago. No idea how things are today, but after 6 years of Chip, I doubt the crowds will be beating the doors down for Indiana.
