What You Need to Know if You’re in Pasadena Supporting Spartans in Rose Bowl

This year, Michigan State takes on Stanford in the New Year’s Day tradition. The game will be broadcast on ESPN at 5 p.m., but if you’re one of those lucky Spartan fans in Pasadena digging on California weather, plug the number for the community’s visitor hotline into your phone:  (877) 793-9911.

This is the 30th year the community has staffed the hotline. It’s operable through Jan. 6 to provide answers about the Tournament of Roses Parade, the Rose Bowl Game, pre- and post-parade activities, parking, accommodations, dining, directions, related events, and other things you need to know to enjoy your stay. That includes information about the BCS National Championship Game, which Pasadena also hosts, on Monday, Jan. 6, 2014 between the Auburn Tigers and Florida State Seminoles

In addition, visitors can download the free, interactive GoPasadena app. Up-to-the-minute changes and information can also be found by following the Visitor Hotline on Facebook at facebook.com/pasadenavisitorhotline.

The hotline is open (all times are Pacific Standard Time)”
