Those of you who warned me about field level seats at the Rose Bowl were right--in fact, the very front row seats are sunk in about 8 inches lower than the field.  Photographers, wandering VIPs, security personnel, etc. were blocking our views for some of the game.  Still, if Stanford had scored more often in front of me, it would have been absolutely golden. 

I was in row 12 of section 8.  That meant I really could not appreciate gains and losses that well.  For example, Hogan's toss to two spin Taylor looked like a 20 yard play from my perspective.

However, all 4 touchdowns (and all 6 touchdown looking events) were scored in "my" endzone and it was easy to see that both field goals at the other end were good from our seats.  So all of that was sweet.  Sitting just 7 or 8 seats away from the player parents and relatives in section 9 was GREAT.  For those parents that ran up and down the aisle trying to get people up and make noise...Thanks!! That was one of the best elements of the 2013 Rose Bowl Game.  So while I would not recommend my seats, the experience was pretty cool.
