The Rose Bowl, recently named college football's greatest stadium by Sports Illustrated, offers one of the best tailgating experiences in college football, with a variety of options for pre-game celebrations. New this year, Rose Bowl Concessionaire, Levy Restaurants, is operating the brand-new "Country Store" in the Arroyo Tailgate area on the golf course, adjacent to the Brookside clubhouse. This is a go-to stop for all fans' tailgating needs. No need to worry about leaving something at home.

The Rose Bowl, in partnership with concessionaire Levy Restaurants, introduced more than 10 new concession items to the menu throughout the stadium this season. Additions include Acai Bowls, Continental Empanadas, "The Arroyo" Turkey Sandwich, and a Beyond Bratwurst – a great vegan option for fans. Fans can also find value-priced concessions in two locations. Value-priced $3 nachos and hot dogs and discounted fountain beverages will be on sale near tunnels 8 and 21.
Saturday's Honorary Captain is Jordan Zumwalt, who started games at linebacker in all four seasons during his Bruin career from 2010-2013 and went on to be selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2014 NFL Draft. Zumwalt played on two Pac-12 South Champion Bruin teams and was named Co-MVP of the 2013 Hyundai Sun Bowl and to the Pac-12's honorable mention all-conference team as a senior. Following his initial season in Westwood, he was named Defensive tri-winner of the John Boncheff, Jr. Memorial Award for UCLA's Rookie of the Year.
