Can You Tailgate Outside the Rose Bowl for a UCLA Bruins Football Game?
Tailgating occurs before a UCLA Bruins college football game. Fans arrive a few hours before kickoff to tailgate with their friends and families in the parking lots before the game. You can eat and drink in the parking lots before a game. However, just remember that you can’t bring any outside food or drinks into the stadium with you for a match. Therefore, you will need to either finish the food, put it back in your car, or throw it away before heading to the stadium for a game.
