Rose Bowl Stadium
A cathedral of American football, the Rose Bowl is one of the best-known venues in US sport.
The Rose Bowl, which celebrated its 100th birthday in 2022, remains synonymous with American football. The setting for the annual Rose Bowl Game since 1923, it has staged five Super Bowl matches and is the home of the UCLA Bruins. It is also well known as a soccer stadium, hosting matches at the Olympic Games in 1984 and the finals of the 1994 World Cup and the 1999 Women’s World Cup, among other matches. The venue will also be used at the Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028.
The Rose Bowl hosts a wide range of other events, including rock and pop concerts, a flea market and an annual women’s empowerment symposium. Officially recognised as a national historic landmark and a Californian historic civil engineering landmark, it underwent a USD 152 million renovation in 2011, and its current capacity is 89,700.
The Rose Bowl was temporarily adapted to host the cycling events at the 1932 Olympic Games, with the track being dismantled immediately afterwards.
