During the game, you can re-enter the stadium—but only if you get your hand stamped. This is vital knowledge, especially if you plan to conquer the famous Rose Bowl parking lot. That lot is a city of tailgaters, a chaotic ocean of grills, beer pong, and people arguing over who makes the better burrito. You can leave, eat a massive tri-tip sandwich, and return. But if you lose your hand stamp? You are done. You become a ghost wandering the perimeter, listening to the faint roar of the crowd.
Pro tip: Don’t get too drunk to remember where you parked. The lot is the size of a small country. I’ve seen grown men weep in section 4H, unable to find their Honda Civic. Bring a GPS. Or tie a giant balloon to your antenna.
