Suit Seeks to Confirm Right to Move Rose Bowl Game

Jason Scott Headshot

The Pasadena Tournament of Roses, the group behind the annual Rose Bowl Game, has criticized the city of Pasadena, Calif., calling its attempts to control where the game is held each year a “naked power grab.”

Local pandemic mitigation restrictions would have prevented the most recent edition of the “Granddaddy of Them All” from hosting even players’ families — and so the game was moved to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, instead. That arrangement was agreed to by both the city and the tournament after the College Football Playoff Committee invoked force majeure language in a master license agreement.
