An exhibition soccer game between the L.A. Galaxy and Real Madrid attracted an estimated 85,000 soccer fans to the Rose Bowl, as expected, bringing the streets surrounding the stadium to a virtual standstill Saturday afternoon.
Police worked to funnel a sea of automobiles off of city streets and into Rose Bowl parking lots as quickly as possible, as fans scrambled to get to their seats.
"I'd say we did pretty well," Pasadena police Lt. Pete Hettema said. "I don't think we made everybody happy. I don't think everyone was sitting in their seats when it started."
Despite urging from both police and Rose Bowl officials to arrive two to three hours early for the massive game, a steady stream of traffic continued pouring into the Rose Bowl until well after the 7:30 p.m. kickoff.
As cars entered the Rose Bowl area, officials constantly redirected traffic to get incoming soccer fans parked as quickly as possible.
Streets immediately around the stadium were shut down during the event, and only residents were allowed access, police said.
