Game day at the Rose Bowl

Three games in the Copa America Centenario will be played at the Rose Bowl — today, Brazil vs. Ecuador, 7 p.m.; Tuesday, Colombia vs. Paraguay, 7:30 p.m.; and Thursday, Mexico vs. Jamaica, 7 p.m. Here are some things to be aware of if you plan on attending any of those games:

Bag check: Gates will open 2½ hours prior to kickoff. Plan for extended bag checks and long security lines as the Rose Bowl has implemented a clear-bag policy requiring 12-by-6-by-12-inch clear bags for entry. Clutch-size bags no larger 4.25 by 6.25 inches will be allowed in even if they are not clear.

Arrive early: With two weekday games and heavy commuter traffic, fans are urged to arrive early. Parking: All Rose Bowl lots will open four hours prior to kickoff.
