Two things, one, responding to Farm 93's earlier post, I disagree that the Rose Bowl is not a good place to watch a game- you are sitting farther away, but for experience and location, the RB is fantastic and there are few places I'd rather watch a game. I don't mind that I'm a bit farther one bit. Not to mention the fantastic tailgating! I would chain myself to those gates if they tried to StanfordStadium-ize it (well for maybe a night).
Also to 2006alum's point, I disagree that UCB students are less passionate than UCLA fans. Not so in my anecdotal experience. I have friends from UCLA that hardly went to football games because of the annoyance of it not being on campus. Those people may not have gone to games at UCB either, but of the ~20 alums I know from each school, it's pretty similar in terms of sports fandom.
