About Rose Bowl
The Rose Bowl was built in 1922 and officially opened on 1 January 1923, hosting the annual Rose Bowl Game — the oldest college football bowl game in the USA. Designed by architect Myron Hunt, the stadium was originally built to seat around 57,000 but has since been expanded several times. It hosted the 1932 and 1984 Olympic Games, five Super Bowls, and was a centrepiece venue for the 1994 FIFA World Cup, including a memorable final between Brazil and Italy. In 1999, it hosted the FIFA Women's World Cup final. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987.
The Rose Bowl's open-bowl design creates a sweeping, immersive atmosphere, particularly during the annual Rose Bowl Game and UCLA home fixtures. The setting — nestled in the Arroyo Seco against the backdrop of the San Gabriel Mountains — adds a distinctive natural grandeur. Large crowds generate significant noise in the lower tiers, and the stadium's storied history lends even routine events a sense of occasion.
Rose Bowl is one of the most in-demand places to watch live sport and entertainment in Pasadena, with room for around 88,565 fans on a big night. Staadly lists verified resale tickets for every event here, all-in priced and backed by the 100% buyer guarantee.
Opened in the 1920s, the Rose Bowl is a designated National Historic Landmark and one of the most storied venues in American sport. It is best known for the annual Rose Bowl Game, part of college football's long tradition, and it has hosted some of the biggest moments in the sport's history, along with World Cup and international football fixtures over the decades. Set against the backdrop of the San Gabriel Mountains, its vast bowl-shaped seating and open-air setting give it a timeless, unmistakable character. On event days the atmosphere is electric, with tens of thousands of supporters filling the terraces and the surrounding grounds coming alive well before kick-off or the first note of a concert. Whether you are there for a marquee football clash or a stadium tour by a world-famous artist, the sheer scale of the venue and the energy of the crowd make for a memorable occasion.

It is not directly served by metro rail, so most visitors arrive by car, with extensive parking on site. Shuttle services operate from the Memorial Park Metro Gold Line station on event days, making it reachable without a car via a combination of rail and shuttle.
