No, it starts in 21 hours, but if any Freepers are attending, be sure to note that the golf course parking lots will be CLOSED due to the heavy rains this weekend, reducing parking availability big time.

Pasadena PD will stack park four lanes on the streets surround the stadium, so take a bus, shuttle or walk to the stadium if possible. It will take hours to leave the event if stuck in that parking.

No, it starts in 21 hours, but if any Freepers are attending, be sure to note that the golf course parking lots will be CLOSED due to the heavy rains this weekend, reducing parking availability big time.

UPDATE: There will be limited parking on the golf course tomorrow. There are certain sections of pre-paid parking on the course (w/ passes) that will be full. The other sections of the course will be first come, first serve. Certain sections of the course will not be used. You will have to have a ticket for the game to even park down at Brookside. The word is that if you come after 2:00 p.m., you will most likely not get a parking space on the course.

PS - The course was open for play today. O.J. was not spotted.
