“Cheapest I found on StubHub was $250 for a nosebleeder in the end zone”
fyi, at the rose bowl, there are no nose bleeders and every seat is not bad.
first, it is a football only stadium which means no track.
second, it is old which means no luxury boxes.
third, it is a bowl, which means it was partially dug into the ground (you can only do this when the ground water is really low ) so no obstruction of support beams and no need for an upper deck as the support comes from the earth.
fourth, it is so old that the seats were designed for skinny (by today’s standard) people, so yes they really pack them in, but everyone is really close to the action.
Well it will be about 70F warmer than where I am.
I’d reconsider but all outbound flights are cancelled or delayed, LOL.
Or, looked at another way, with the gentle slope of the Rose Bowl stadium, there are no good seats. And your track analogy? What is that about???? Very few colledge stadia have a track around the field anymore. Maybe Duke, Kansas….can’t think of any others…..
Been to 3 Rose Bowl games, 1 Freedom Bowl and the Orange Bowl. I have never had a bad seat in he Rose Bowl. The “old” Orange Bowl stadium might have looked great on TV but it was a rusty relic back then.
My advice to anyone that ever wants to attend a bowl game is show up right before kick off and buy one from a scalper.
Back in 1985 (UW vs. Oklahoma) I attended the Orange Bowl and already had my ticket that I had paid $47 for through the UW. When I got there I bought a 50 yd. line seat for $1. This was the first time a Pac 10 team had been invited to play there and there were only 57,000 in attendance. Made it a true “two-fer” weekend because I was able to scalp a ticket to the Seahawk-Dolphins playoff game while I was there.
I am here to tell you that those Sooner gals were some pretty good sports too after the game and they love a winner!
I did that again in 1993 at the Rose Bowl. UW vs. Michigan
