The Rose Bowl offers one of the best tailgating experiences in college football, with a variety of options for pre-game celebrations. The Fan Zone presented by Ralphs opens at 3:15 p.m. The UCLA football team will make its way through the Fan Zone to the stadium for the traditional Bruin Walk at approximately 5:00 p.m.

Rose Bowl gates open at 6:00 p.m., and the first 5,000 fans to enter the stadium wearing blue will receive a set of Senior Trading Cards, in honor of the Senior Salute. Fans at the game who check in via the BruWin Rewards app will receive one free fish taco, courtesy of Wahoo's.

For the final home game of the season, UCLA is partnering with Ronald McDonald House on a charity toy drive. Fans are urged to bring new and unwrapped toys in their original packaging to any Rose Bowl entry gate on Friday. Everyone who donates a toy will receive a pair of tickets to either the UCLA Women's Basketball game vs. UC Riverside on November 28, or the Men's Basketball game vs. CSU Bakersfield on November 29.

Fans are encouraged to enter the Rose Bowl early to minimize wait times. As a reminder, enhanced screening procedures, including the use of electronic security equipment at all gates, have been implemented at UCLA Football games. The Clear Bag Policy limits the size and type of bags that may be brought into the Rose Bowl. The policy is designed to provide more consistent screening and to expedite fan entry.

Friday's Honorary Captain is former UCLA offensive lineman Chris Joseph, who graduated in 2008 and was awarded the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University. During his time at UCLA (2004-07), Joseph served as a starter for three of his four years on the football team, while also earning a degree in geography, with an emphasis on the social and scientific causes of deforestation. He was a two-time first-team Academic All American.

Fans should be in their seats by 7:00 p.m. to witness pregame festivities, including a National Anthem performance by the UCLA Bruin Marching Band and the annual Senior Salute pregame ceremony.

During the first quarter break, UCLA will recognize former Bruin quarterback Cade McNown for his election and upcoming induction into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame. McNown, who led the Bruins to the 1997 and 1998 Pac-10 championships, finished his career as the conference's career leader in total offense (11,285 yards) and was also third in career passing yardage (10,708 yards). He quarterbacked the Bruins to a school record 20 straight wins over the course of the 1997 and 1998 seasons, posting a 30-14 record as a starter. McNown won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award and was third in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1998. He was also the 1998 Pac-10 Offensive Co-Player of the Year and a consensus first-team All-American.

Halftime will feature a performance by the UCLA Marching Band.
