Where was this?

blowupbruin.JPGWe just got finished talking about comfortable it was seeing USC fans peacefully coexist with UCLA fans before a rivalry game, there comes this story out of the blue.
According to KCBS Channel 2, a 32-year-old USC fan lost the sight in his eye after a pro-UCLA group attacked him during a tailgate party before Saturday's game.
Daniel Crowson and a friend were attacked by as many as 10 UCLA fans for doing nothing.
"There certainly was no instigation," Crowson, of Torrance, said. "I just remember seeing a flash of a bottle come across my face."
A cut to an eyeball took more than five hours to repair in surgery at Kaiser Permanente in Harbor City, he said.
Crowson said he and his friend were attacked when they left their car to walk to a bathroom outside the Rose Bowl shortly before Saturday's game, which UCLA won 13-9.
Anyone who saw the attack was asked to call Pasadena police at (626) 744-7113.
