Per Greder:

Attendance at the 48th Rose Bowl was pegged at 98,214 fans, or “slightly under the ancient saucer’s capacity,” per a Pioneer Press report from Pasadena. The famous venue’s maximum attendance at the time was 100,807 and ticket prices had a face value of $6, with some on a $2 markup. In previous years, some end zone seats were going for $14, one dispatch said.


Go Gophers!!

Just looked it up out of curiosity:

$6 in 1962 is equivalent to $62.96 today.
