The Rose Bowl is an outdoor athletic stadium located in Pasadena, California, and it has hosted the Rose Bowl game every year since its opening in 1923, except in 1942). The stadium has also hosted the Super Bowl five times. The three stadiums that have hosted the Rose Bowl game are:
-
Tournament Park: Before the Rose Bowl was built, games were played in Pasadenas Tournament Park, approximately three miles southeast of the current Rose Bowl stadium, near the campus of Caltech. Tournament Park was found to be unsuitable for the increasingly large crowds gathering to watch the game and a new, permanent home for the game was commissioned.
-
Rose Bowl Stadium: The Rose Bowl stadium, designed after the Yale Bowl in New Haven, hosted its first "Rose Bowl" game on January 1, 1923. The name of the stadium was alternatively "Tournament of Roses Stadium" or "Tournament of Roses Bowl", until the name "Rose Bowl" was settled on before the 1923 game. The Rose Bowl is still the largest stadium that hosts post-season bowl games.
-
Unknown: There is no mention of a third stadium that has hosted the Rose Bowl game in the search results.
