What's the next best place to see the USC vs UCLA game tomorrow besides at the LA Coliseum? Come watch it for FREE on a 22' x 44' screen (AKA Jumbotron) on Nokia Plaza at LA Live. The USC vs UCLA Crosstown Showdown starts at 2 PM. Although it may be a "tailgate party", no outside food and drink are permitted. Fortunately, there will be a beer garden and also live music entertainment. If you haven't been yet, LA Live is the new entertainment complex right across the Staples Center that opened almost 2 years ago to revive Downtown LA.
While you are down there, continue the fun and...
stay an hour extra. This is actually Cheap Date Idea #37, a "future" post during my catch up between my Twitter and my blog, so CLICK HERE for the info about the new outdoor ice skating rink at Nokia Plaza.
Approximate cost of creative date idea = FREE viewing + food & drink + $10 ice skating + parking.
Actual value of the cheap date idea = Priceless.
