USA Today: Rose Bowl 10th among Pac-12 stadiums

USA Today ranked Pac-12 stadiums and lists the Rose Bowl at No. 10. That’s gotta be a little low, right? If it’s based on attendance then it’s a fair argument, and that’s the beef USA Today has with the Rose Bowl, that there are pockets of empty seats. But if you’re talking prestige and tradition the Rose Bowl has to be higher on the list. And the Rose Bowl has way more to offer than most Pac-12 stadiums in terms of providing great fan experience for all fans. Whether it’s a 12:30, 4:30 or even a 7:30 start, the Rose Bowl’s close proximity to Old Town offers fans before or after the game a slew of fun options on the world famous stretch of Colorado Boulevard, including restaurants, bars, coffee shops, movie theaters, lounges, and even the Apple Store. For the record I live in Pasadena, so I’ve seen this with my own eyes: USC fans grabbing breakfast/brunch at Old Town before USC games, and the same goes for fans from the visiting teams playing at the Coliseum.
