Stacey Eads said that, out of 39 people arrested by the Cal Poly Humboldt Police Department, she rejected charges for 27.

The weather is looking good, said David Eads, Tournament of Roses chief executive; Michigan and Alabama’s football teams have fan bases that travel well, and the parade’s “Celebrating a World of Music” theme and expanded performances have broad appeal.

“We feel good that the crowds will be strong again this year,” Tournament of Roses Chief Executive David Eads told The Times last week.

Eads said he’s feeling confident about Monday and said the expected mild temperatures are particularly good for the floats’ flowers, which can wilt when conditions are too hot.

Eads hopes the new livestream will reach a younger audience and allow people to watch days later.
