Public Transportation to the Rose Bowl?

[Morrigoon]

Actually, after some research and discussion, I decided to play it safe. I'm driving to the Zoo and carpooling in from there with my dad.

Had a lot of good reasons to go this route. Looks like Metro is forbidding bulky items like chairs and coolers due to expected crowds. Since we'll be arriving so early, we plan (at least my brother and I, if not my dad who seems all too fond of the idea of walking around for 4 hours) on tailgating at my brother's car, so I need a folding chair. And also, I'm bringing my brother's family's Christmas gifts to him. Plus, after the game, we'll be going out to dinner somewhere, and I didn't wanna run the risk of issues getting back to Long Beach. So in the end, using the Zoo parking lot (wide open and free, often used for park n ride to the Hollywood Bowl) seemed the best option.
