Rose Bowl Stadium

Calls itself the “Grand daddy” of bowls. The interwebs says capacity is 90k. It looks SO small on tv. 90k seems unlikely given it has no upper decks?

It’s not a steep stadium. If you’re sitting on the top row you may 150 yards from the field. TV doesn’t really capture that. It’s a historical stadium but nothing compared to more modern stadiums. Also one way in and one way out.

Granddaddy just means it’s oldest.

The "Grandfather" tag line is for the bowl game, not the stadium.

Rose Bowl stadium has 88 rows of seats and it's fully enclosed. It just looks smaller because there's no upper and lower decks.

It looks a LOT bigger from blimp shots. It's a low rise stadium but the stands are VERY deep. It seated 105k prior to the field being widened for the World Cup.

Been to two Rose Bowls. Most beautiful bowl environment I’ve been to. The stadium is unique in that you walk in from above and walk down to seats (it is really a “bowl”). It is situated down the hill from downtown Pasadena and on a golf course surrounds much of it. Nothing else like it. Yeah it is old and doesn’t have the Jerry World feel but I’d rather watch a bowl game there than anywhere else. Being 25 min from LA doesn’t hurt either if you like LA. (I do.)

Michigan Stadium also seats officially like 107K and it has no upper deck.
