Rose Bowl
Pasadena, CA

Perhaps the most famous stadium in the nation, the Rose Bowl, has been the site of many historical sporting events. By the late 1800s the City of Pasadena begin their search for land to build a stadium. In 1897, a parcel of land was bought and two decades later, the Tournament of Roses Association decided it was time to build a stadium. Construction on the stadium began in the early 1920’s and was complete in 1922. Built just for football, the first football game played at the Rose Bowl was on October 28, 1922 between USC and California. The Rose Bowl originally had a seating capacity of 57,000 in a horseshoe configuration. The first Rose Bowl was played at the stadium was in 1923.

 

The first of several expansions to the Rose Bowl was in 1929 when the stadium was enclosed on the south end increasing the capacity to 76,000. Three years later the capacity increased again to 86,000 and to just over 100,000 in 1949. In 1982, the UCLA Bruins made their debut at the Rose Bowl. Since then, it has remained the Bruins home and the site of many events. In the past decade the Rose Bowl has seen several improvements including new lights, a new three story press box, a video/scoreboard, and in 1998 individual chairs replaced the bleachers between the endzones. With its recent renovations, today the Rose Bowl has a capacity of 91,136. The main one tier grandstand encloses the entire playing field. In addition to hosting numerous college football games over the years, the Rose Bowl has been home of the Super Bowl and the World Cup. Of course it is most famous for hosting the Rose Bowl each year on New Years Day.
