Here’s your cheat sheet: Cellphone = cool. Small camera with fixed lens = probably fine. Giant zoom lens = absolutely not. And if you bring a film camera, you’re a hipster hero.
The Rose Bowl camera policy isn’t just a rule. It’s a personality test. Are you a casual fan just vibing, or are you secretly trying to sell photos to Getty Images? Either way, just enjoy the game. What you see with your own eyes matters most. And that’s the fun part.
Now go. Take your phone. Snap a selfie. And stop worrying about the lens. The Rose Bowl has spoken.
