Like the concert grounds that hosted the Route 91 Harvest Festival, the Rose Bowl is an open-air venue. However, the stadium in Pasadena does have designated entry and exit points which will help to secure the venue.
Video from outside the Rose Bowl Friday morning showed K-9 officers sweeping the area.
“Spectator safety and security is paramount. In light of recent events, there are no specific, credible threats related to the Coldplay concert at the Rose Bowl Stadium,” the City of Pasadena posted on its website.
Concertgoers are being asked to arrive by 5 p.m. for the 6:45 p.m. concert and allow extra time to pass through security screening.
The stadium parking areas will open by 3 p.m., with gates opening at 5:30 p.m.
The Rose Bowl also has a clear bag policy, which will be enforced. Details on the bag police can be found on the website.
Coldplay’s show at the Rose Bowl takes place one night after Irvine debuted its new venue, the FivePoint Amphitheatre, to outdoor concert fans Thursday.
