Welcome to the 40 for 40 for the 2016 Rose Bowl

But one of us is going and we're just gonna yell at him about how awesome everything but the game and the people there will be

Jason Kirk you are going to your first experience at the Rose Bowl correct. That's happening making the pilgrimage

Okay, look at

Look at flowers parade sunset and all that I

I

Would recommend skipping the parade, but I will tell you the thing about the Rose Bowl that really really irritated me when I showed up for my very first one was

Getting up into the upper levels of the stadium

holding the view of the San Gabriel's and going oh fuck this is exactly as beautiful as all those big ten people have been screaming about this entire time

They were right

Yeah, I have I've prepared myself for

For basically we just becoming Jim Delaney for like half a day. It's bucolic as hell

It is it's just it's so perfectly like positioned

There's there's a proscenium and there's the staging in the back and the mountains are just like the curtain

It's it's obscene the light at at dusk

It's it you know the way it looks on TV where you go man, that looks like Valhalla

It's it doesn't even get a tenth of how good it looks in person the grass feels awesome on your feet

The stadium itself is built on a human scale so the seating is low

So every seat is pretty good. I mean just screw that place man. It's it's it's perfect

Like if you don't feel right about something unless you're getting ornary think about UCLA fans just wasting this stadium

You've read about how they don't they don't

The grass is not grown there. They truck it in from like hundreds of miles away or some shit
