California brothers, help me out

I’m watching the Rose bowl on pristine grass and wonderful surroundings. How come the Rams don’t play their home games there? The arena looks so much better on camera. Is it because it’s in Pasadena?

Would be cool if they played a game or two there. Maybe a primetime game since they can't play on a school night on USC's campus. Might not be an issue for that location.

Rose Bowl wanted nothing to do with any relocating team, from what I remember. Rams had a connection to the LA Memorial Coliseum through former Ram QB Pat Haden and then Athletic Director for USC.

It's the League that handled venue selection through a bidding process. The Rose Bowl was not interested in being a tool in a bidding war. Plus the Rose Bowl had ongoing business with AEG and a 20-year music festival.

Thank you. Too bad, but Rams will have a new Home soon. Go Rams!

The Rose Bowl is an awesome football stadium, not a bad seat in the house. Where the Coluseum was designed as a track and field venue, the Rose Bowl was built for football. The Rose Bowl can hold 100,000 and every seat has a good view, the Coluseum's closest seats are too far away.

I think the last football game played there was last year's Rose Bowl. That could explain the field conditions.

UCLA played there for a few years awhile back.

UCLA still plays there, it's their home field.

UCLA plays their home games at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. They have for some time.

They are both old and a nightmare to get in and out of. Rose bowl is worse than Coliseum to leave from. We purposely arrive early and eat a bbq burger or? after games to wait out the crowd. The Rose bowl does have a better seating arrangement for Sports
