The Rose Bowl Stadium was Built in 1922 and known mainly for the New Year's Tournament of Roses Football Game, the Rose Bowl Stadium
has also earned it's World-Class Reputation by hosting five NFL Super Bowl Games, the 1984 Olympic Soccer Matches,
the 1994 Men's World Cup, the 1999 Women's World Cup, the 2002 BCS National College Football Championship Game and numerous
other memorable sports betting events over the past years. The Rose Bowl stadium is the proud home of UCLA Bruin Football Team.
The Rose Bowl was finished with construction and ready for the New Year’s Day game in 1923, the first Rose Bowl game was USC Vs Penn St.
In the end result USC defeated Penn State 14-0. At this point, the champion of the Pacific Coast Conference (later the Pac-10) played a
top team from Back East. In 1947, though, the Rose Bowl initiated an agreement for the Pac-10 champion to play the Big Ten champion.
From its start as a 57,000-seat horseshoe-shaped arena, the Rose Bowl has been enlarged four times, up to 102,000 (in 1973 they
crammed in 106,000 football fans). Normally, the venue now sells 93,000 tickets for the Rose Bowl Game. In 1927, it was the first
sporting event broadcast nationwide on radio. In 1952, it was the first college football game televised nationally.
The games themselves are a national tradition for New Year’s Day. After the Tournament of Roses Parade, those who could not get
tickets sit down and watch the Pac-10 and the Big Ten duke it out. The Pac-10/Big Ten arrangement for the Rose Bowl ran unmodified
for 52 years, until the Bowl Championship Series decided to use the Rose Bowl as a national championship venue on a rotating basis.
