LA Galaxy Inglewood Sport reviews
Great event except for the logistics
I knew the trafffic would be bad getting into the Rose Bowl and it was. I could justify that it was due to regular rush hour traffic combined with a big event at Rose Bowl. I can understand why it took me 2+ hours from Redondo Beach. Once we paid for parking at Orange Grove entrance the disappointment started. The parking was a disaster. They ran out of preferred parking passes at that entrance. They were using much of the parking for Soccer Fest so they had to route us back to parking near Brookline Park. We drove by hundreds of open parking spaces but had to follow the directions. Then we had to get into the parking pass line coming in from the 134. We had to wait AGAIN as people bought passes. Then we finally got up to the front and they had preferred parking. We upgraded our pass and finally were able to park. The parking was a disaster and they also jacked up the prices vs a UCLA game. It made it extremely frustrating befor even getting into the event.
The event was fun and my family enjoyed the game. The Rose Bowl needs to upgrade restroom and concessions. Until they get those done the facility is just not able to really provide an enjoyable experience at the stadium.
Finally to make matters worse on the way home CalTrans took the 110 South Freeway down to one lane for road work. How can the Rose Bowl not communicate with CalTrans when they are hosting an event of this size. Closing 2 lanes on that night was idiotic. I spent 4.5+ hours on the road for a 2 hour soccer. I will watch the next event from home.
