It is good to be home, Bruin fans! That is right, the UCLA Football team returns to the Rose Bwol today in their home opener for the 2016 season.

Last week, the Bruins had a battle in College Station against the Texas A&M Aggies that saw the game go into overtime. The Bruins had an amazing comeback, but unfortunately fell short in extra time.

Today, the Bruins have a chance to get back to their winning ways as they take on the UNLV Rebels. Yes, the game will be very important, but it is also important to note that the Bruin fans will be descending on Pasadena for one of the best tailgating events in the country.

Nestled in the Arroyo Seco, the Rose Bowl sits on a golf course that makes for one of the more serene tailgating experiences, though it to does lack excitement. With grass as far as the eye can see, UCLA football fans can relax and enjoy themselves before the game.

Whether it is barbecuing, playing catch or taking in some college football on your television at the tailgate, it is always a fun time.

But even if you do not have your own tailgate, UCLA, the Rose Bowl and several vendors have set up their own pre-game festivities. If you have time, head to Area H at the south east end of the Rose Bowl lot for the Bruin Bash, the Fan Zone by Ralphs, the Bruin Fan Alliance Tailgate and many more to join in on the pre-game fun.

And do not forget to cheer on the UCLA Football team during the Bruin Walk as the team enters the stadium to get ready for the game.

You think that is a lot? Well, that is just the beginning. Once you enter the stadium (do not forget about the clear bag policy) you will be treated to a game in one of the best venues in all of college football! On top of that, it will be great cheer on your Bruins as the fight, fight, fight their way to victory over UNLV.

Yes Bruin fans, it is great to be back!
