13. See a game at the Rose Bowl

Whether you’re going to see “The Granddaddy of Them All” in the Rose Bowl Game, or you’re just taking in a regular-season home game for the UCLA Bruins, visiting the photographically perfect stadium in Pasadena is a must.

The oldest bowl game in college football, the Rose Bowl Game. –whose first game was in 1902 — traditionally pits the Pac-12 champion against the Big Ten champion, although the BCS and College Football Playoff have provided with some non-traditional matchups as well.

The fact remains the historical significance of the stadium and game and the beautiful Pasadena, California backdrop with the San Gabriel mountains gives fans a scenery that is unrivaled in any sport.

New Year’s Day wouldn’t be what it is without the Rose Bowl Game and prior to the game is the famous Tournament of Roses parade that makes for an all-day event for those crossing this item off on their bucket list.
