Pasadena is synonymous with the Rose Bowl game
0:09
An annual college football game played on January 1st at the Rose Bowl Stadium
0:14
a national historic landmark. I'm going inside this massive sporting venue with Jen's Whedon
0:21
The stadium was built in 1922. It was originally built for the Rose Bowl game
0:25
So the background was that the city of Pasadena and the tournament roses decided to put it together
0:29
parade they wanted people to see how great their weather was. And it is
0:33
It is pretty amazing, yes. And at the end of the parade, they tried a bunch of different things like chariot races and
0:39
ostriches races and then they finally decided upon college football. When they built this stadium, originally it was a horseshoe and it seated about 50,000
0:47
people which they thought was as many as they would ever need. It's like you build a house and you're like, it's plenty big
0:51
We have an extra bedroom and then two years later you need to build a bigger house
0:55
Now it's the home to UCLA football but also the best and the biggest concerts in the world, right on January 1st when everybody else is
1:04
digging out, throwing the remote controls of the TV because it's 75 degrees in Pasadena
1:08
You're smelling the roses. We're smelling the roses, yeah
