Rose Bowl Stadium Renovation Project

The Rose Bowl Stadium is a vital piece of the Rose Bowl Game® history and success!

Where It All Began
In 1923, the Penn State Nittany Lions traveled cross country to face the local Trojans of Southern California in the first-ever Rose Bowl Game at the Rose Bowl Stadium. Over the past 98 years, the game has witnessed numerous records and moments of greatness in The Granddaddy of Them All®.

Ensure Our Future as the Elite Bowl Game in the Country
The Rose Bowl Game maintains an unparalleled role in postseason college football. As a member of the Bowl Championship Series and annual hosts to the Big Ten and Pac-12 Conference champions, the Rose Bowl Game is the oldest bowl game in the country. The renovation will extend the long-term viability of the Rose Bowl Stadium and the rich tradition of our game.

Stadium Enhancements for Fans & Participants
The renovation is the largest investment in the 90-year-old iconic structure’s history. The project will provide:

• Improved public safety;
• Enhanced fan experience;
• Maintain the national historic landmark status of the stadium and;
• Upgraded stadium facilities.

The renovation project will not only aid in crowning a champion on the field, but also champions of the community – volunteers and the people of Pasadena.

Project Costs & Funding
The project cost is $152 million with primary funding for the renovations coming from bonds to be issued by the city of Pasadena. In addition, 30-year lease extensions with the Tournament of Roses and UCLA will lend to the project finances.
