[edit] Rose Bowl Stadium
Should this article be moved to Rose Bowl Stadium? The official site refers to it as such. jareha 17:35, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
- Althought I'm not affilated with Wikipedia nor the stadium, I think we we keep the page as is. Most people just call the facility the Rose Bowl.--BigMac1212 02:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
It's a bit ironic that the picture used has USC markings in the endzones. If anyone comes up with another image, perhaps unmarked or with the home team's markings on the field, feel free to upload it. ••\\/\//esleyPinkha//\/\\•• 21:54, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
- USC fans traditionally call it their second home, so I see no problem. ;-) But seriously, the RB used to be only for the invited teams until UCLA moved out of the LA Coliseum (which has been USC's home stadium) in the early 1980s. The term "2nd home" comes from the fact that USC has been invited to the Rose Bowl Game more than any other team. This photo appears to have been taken from Google Earth, which due to delays in their photography, also has Dolphin Stadium in Miami also marked with USC in the endzone. This photo is the 2003 RB game, the Dolphin Stadium photo was from the 2002 Orange Bowl Game. If you cound the LA Coliseum, USC has its name painted on three different stadiums in Google Earth as of this comment. --Bobak 16:44, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- There is a very nice picture at http://www.uclahistoryproject.ucla.edu/Fun/images/AugRosebowl2L.jpg as part of the UCLA history project. It shows the field painted for Michigan and UCLA for the 1983 Rose Bowl game. That might be appropriate. I am not quite up to speed on the fair use as it applies to public university photographs. It is on this article [1] Any thoughts? Group29 18:31, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- As a weird coincidence, that Jan. 1, 2004 sat photo is actually pretty close to accurate as of today's Rose Bowl game. --Bobak 20:54, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Junior Rose Bowl Edit War
Special:Contributions/71.130.195.118 and User:3bulletproof16 are having an edit war over the Junior Rose Bowl, which is also known as the Pasadena Bowl.
Such a game did exist, and a bit of googling finds the information [2]
Pasadena Bowl (Junior Rose Bowl -- 1967); Pasadena, California Results:
- December 18, 1971: Memphis 28, San Jose State 9
- December 19, 1970: Long Beach State 24, Louisville 24
- December 6, 1969: San Diego State 28, Boston University 7
- December 2, 1967: West Texas A&M 35, Cal State Northridge 13
The missing 1968 score can be found in the Wikipedia article. A bit deeper digging will turn up individual junior colleges' sports pages where they report that they went to the event. There may be no single web page that shows the scores and who organized it. But certainly it was a real and notable thing. Group29 12:17, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
Although the picture is tagged public domain, the close picture was taken from a flyover, not a sattelite, which is not public domain from Google Earth. Group29 12:17, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
