5Hawks, I'm a UCLA season ticket holder (my daughter is a student). General parking for the Rose Bowl is on the Brookside Golf Course, which is immediately adjacent to the Bowl. There is ample parking on the golf course, but you might find yourself 3/4 of a mile away from the stadium if you get there later than, say, 6-6:30 a.m. on game day. The alternative is to park at the Parsons Engineering lot, and take shuttles from there into the Rose Bowl area. I'm not a huge fan of this approach, myself. The downside of parking at the Rose Bowl (likely in the golf course lots) is that it will take a fair amount of time to get out of there after the game. However, that is time that you would otherwise spend catching the shuttle back to Parsons. As far as getting from Hollywood to the Rose Bowl, I would count on at least 45 minutes. The bigger problem, however, is that navigating right around Pasadena will take a lot of time on that day. Don't plan to leave Hollywood at 11 and be parked and at the Rose Bowl by 1:30. Also, if you're not going to the parade, don't go near Old Town Pasadena, and just go directly toward the Rose Bowl. From the 134 Freeway West (which is where you will be coming from if you stay in Hollywood), exit at Linda Vista, and follow the signs to the Rose Bowl.
So, Undefeated, it's unclear to me if you will be leaving for LAX from Burbank for your 6 a.m. flight, or leaving for the LAX area right after the game and staying in the area near LAX the night before. The traffic on Saturday morning (January 2) will be very light. You should be able to get to LAX from Burbank in about 45 minutes for such an early morning flight. If you leave from the Rose Bowl and go toward LAX immediately after the game, the biggest issue will just be getting out of the Rose Bowl area and onto the freeway. Once you're clear of that, it will take you about an hour to get to the airport area.
Old, there won't be any traffic at that time, but count on it taking at least 45-50 minutes to get from Pasadena to LAX. You will likely take the 110 freeway all the way from Pasadena. The car drop off won't take much time, but you'll have to catch a shuttle, and sometimes the security lines can be kind of long. If it were me, I think I would leave at 2:30 to be on the safe side for a 5:30 flight. Better a few minutes early than a few minutes late.
