Rose Bowl Tickets

Details of Rose Bowl and the Ticket Luck value

Nicknamed "The Granddaddy of Them All", the Rose Bowl is the oldest and, over the course of its history, the most prestigious bowl game. It is part of the annual Tournament of Roses event, which was first played on January 1, 1902, starting the tradition of New Year's Day bowl games. It also includes the Tournament of Roses Parade. Originally titled the "Tournament East-West football game," The Rose Bowl is an annual American college football bowl game, usually played on New Year's Day at the stadium in Pasadena, California. When New Year's Day falls on a Sunday, the game is then played on the following Monday.

The inaugural game featured Fielding Yost's dominating 1901 Michigan team, representing the East and Stanford University, representing the West, by a score of 49-0 after Stanford quit in the third quarter. Declared as National Champion, Michigan finished the season 11-0-0. Yost had been Stanford's coach. The game was so lopsided that for the next 15 years, the Tournament of Roses officials ran chariot races, ostrich races, and other various events instead of football. But, on New Year's Day 1916 football returned to stay.

The Rose Bowl stadium was built on January 1, 1923 while games were previously played in Pasadena's Tournament Park. In the game's early years, the Rose Bowl always pitted a team, not the conference champion from the Pacific Coast Conference. The predecessor of the current Pacific Ten Conference were against an opponent from the Eastern U.S. Beginning with the 1947 game, the game's participants were established as the champions of what is now the Big Ten Conference and the Pac-10.

In 2002 and 2006, the Rose Bowl game was also the BCS National Championship Game. In the current BCS alignment, the Rose Bowl hosts the Big Ten and Pacific 10 conference champions unless they are involved in the national championship game. Rose Bowl participation expanded beyond the Big 10 and Pac-10 especially during the BCS era. The 2003 game featured the first appearance by Oklahoma. The 2005 game featured Texas of the Big 12 Conference, selected, amid some controversy, over California of the Pac-10. The 2004 game is also noteworthy as USC defeated Michigan, thus earning the top ranking in the AP Poll and a share of the national championship with BCS champion LSU.

For many years the Rose Bowl eschewed sponsorship, but in 1998 the game became known as The Rose Bowl Game presented by AT&T and in 2002 as The Rose Bowl Game presented by PlayStation 2. Since 2003, when the agreement with Sony expired, the game has been presented by Citi. The Rose Bowl still spurns sponsorship as its sponsor's name is listed less prominently than in other bowl games. Other bowls typically list their sponsor as part of the game's name, rather than merely as the presenter of the game.

The Rose Bowl is a sponsored annual event of the oldest American college football bowl game. Beginning in 1916, its inception marked the festivity of the sunny California on New Year. While the rest of the country remained cold and dormant, the warm winters allowed for the Tournament of Roses celebrating blooming flowers and fruits as a New Year Celebration.
