Where do Badgers and Ducks and Roses all come together? No, not the florist shop at the Los Angeles Zoo.
The Rose Bowl Bash, a one-day event at The Bloc plaza in Downtown Los Angeles, offered a taste of the GrandDaddy of of All Bowl Games for fans of the universities of Oregon or Wisconsin — or just-plain college football.
The event featured loads of photo ops, a beer garden, hands-on games, much Rose Bowl merch, the traditional Rose Bowl Game trophy and off-the-chart loudness from both schools’ bands and cheer squads (who have to get up early to roll out for the Rose Parade, y’know).
