The Hollywood Bowl theater area now opens up at 8am.  As one who enjoys walking the Hollywood Bowl weekend mornings at 7AM, I was surprised to see the barricades. At first I thought it might be due to the plaza construction however the next weekend a sign appeared explaining the lack of early morning access.

“The policy in place was created by the LA Phil to ensure the safety and security of all of our visitors to the Hollywood Bowl,” said Leni Boorstin, director of community and government affairs for the L.A. Philharmonic.  While the land is controlled by the Los Angles County, the LA Phil owns the Hollywood Bowl.
