The Rose Bowl Tickets

Rose Bowl

There are famous sports arenas all around the world, but let’s be honest: when it comes to one of the most beloved modern stadiums of all time, the honor has to go to Pasadena’s legendary Rose Bowl. Known most well for its tireless hosting of NCAA football for nearly a century, this venerated and venerable outdoor arena has been the site of so much history it’s not even funny.

History of the Rose Bowl

Built back in 1922, the Rose Bowl was, technically, not even a bowl at first – it was a horseshoe-shaped arena. It wasn’t until a planned expansion in 1928 added those last few seats that give the venue its iconic bowl shape that it’s so well known for. Once it was completed, and after a number of renovations over the years to keep it in good condition, the Rose Bowl was at one time the largest football arena by capacity. At its peak, this outdoor arena could hold more than 104,000 fans. That’s a whole lot of people – and even more traffic!
