Depends upon which network you watch who is across the street from the cameras, but it’s significant that Caltech students are planning on being involved, as they have a very set position along the parade route. Most networks, however, broadcast off of Orange Grove before floats make the turn onto Colorado Blvd, good luck to the protesters getting anything into the stands - it ain’t going to happen.

I had free tickets for 5 seats in the prime stands this year, but turned them down, mostly because I didn’t want to board buses at 5am to disembark into airport style security screenings, arriving in stands two hours before the parade starts. The parade’s fun, but I think the wife and I will go check out the floats in the wee hours of the morning and sleep in New Year’s day.

I've kind of seen the Rose Bowl parade live - once. I was very young, we went on a bus to Pasadena. We stayed in a building right on the parade route, however, it was an all night party. I think I slept through the whole parade, I sure don't remember anything...I have no desire to watch it live.
