The Rose Bowl was built in 1922 and is recognized as a U.S. National Historic Landmark and a California Historic Civil Engineering landmark.
The stadium famous for its bowl game, has hosted Super Bowls, Olympic events, World Cup soccer matches, sold-out concerts and even a flea market.The first Tournament of Roses Parade was in 1890 and the first football game was held in 1902 in Tournament Park, but chariot races and other events were substituted, until football became an annual contest in 1916. The stands in Tournament Park were temporary and the city of Pasadena decided it should have a permanent stadium.
The Rose Bowl looked like a horseshoe shape in 1923 before the full bowl was completed in 1928. The first game played at the Rose Bowl was on Oct. 28, 1922, when Cal beat USC. The Rose Bowl originally had a seating capacity of 57,000 in a horseshoe configuration. On Jan. 1, 1923, the first Rose Bowl Game was played with USC defeating Penn State.
