Column: Rose Bowl’s history to compete with SoFi Stadium’s future
As Oregon and Wisconsin took the field Wednesday afternoon at the Rose Bowl, Knute Rockne’s voice blared from a tiny room in the bowels of the nearly 100-year-old stadium.
The 106th Rose Bowl on Wednesday was the last football game before the opening of SoFi Stadium, the $5-billion future home of the Rams and Chargers. SoFi Stadium will be the first football stadium built in Los Angeles since the Rose Bowl and Coliseum opened in 1922 and 1923.The Rose Bowl, which completed a $183-million renovation in 2016, has been the city’s premier football stadium for the last 40 years. It hosted five Super Bowls, most recently in 1993, which is the second most of any venue.
UCLA and the Tournament of Roses, which organizes the annual Rose Bowl game, have leases with the stadium that run through 2043. But some of the other big events that have historically gone to the Rose Bowl will now start going to SoFi Stadium in the future.On a crisp and clear fall morning a plane approaches Los Angeles International Airport against the backdrop snow-covered mountains and above the under-construction SoFi Stadium this fall.
