California (PAC 12) 2008


College:  California (PAC 12)
Year:   2008        
Games:   California 24 Arizona State 14
Rating:  8 out of 10
Cost:  Moderate
Tickets:   Easy
Stadium:   One of the best, if not the best
Description:  This college game was the focal point of our trip and with good reason.  This is one of America’s iconic Universities and stadiums and the experience and stadium did nothing to disappoint.   We stopped at a great bar before the game but I can’t remember the name. The stadium was redone in 2011 so it’s a pretty high priority spot to return to, will have to hit both Stanford and Cal for “The Game” or for a back to back trip.
Don’t Miss:  The walk through campus up the hill to California Memorial Stadium.  Spend a night hanging around Berekely and another couple of days drinking your way through SF (an underrated drinking town), Tightwad hill
If you want to make this part of a bigger trip:  Let's see...Oakland, San Francisco, Yosemite National Park, Redwood National Park, Napa Valley, Silicon Valley....
Avoid:    Drinking Sierra Nevadas at noon, getting too much of a buzz on and being hungover in the second half
Attendees:  Bones, Polychronopolus
