You're right. It's only seven. Every single one of them have better stadiums, better fans, better games, better talent, better traditions and better pageantry than the Rose Bowl game or stadium. You could also argue USC and the Mississippi schools.

Not iconic

And as an Alabama fan I know

No one on the street could tell you the name of any of those stadiums

It will host SBs for sure...but who would actually watch the Rose Bowl if it wasn't played in Rose Bowl stadium?

Here's Herbie, down in the Beach House bungalows sipping on Whiskey checking Instagram while eating Sushi.

Nothing says Rose Bowl like a spaceship. You know, cause it is a bowl...and it's not just the name of the game but the actual design...it was modeled after the Yale Bowl.

Ah ya, I get all warm and CFB fuzzy looking at SoFi...it just screams perfect CFB experience.

New LA stadium probably tied with Minnesota for the greatest football stadium ever built.


And in 10-15 years it’ll won’t be the shiniest new toy. Meanwhile the Rose a bowl will still be historic and the area beautiful. It’ll still be the most famous football stadium in America.

I don’t know how far the new stadium is from USC but the Colosseum is a dump.

Death Valley Baton Rouge is pretty iconic. And it also sits on original structure as well. Was just built up more and more over time

And you’d know since you were at the only game that’s been played in the new stadium, right?

That goes both ways. I'd rather go to the new stadium than the rose bowl stadium. You don't know how it is either. Could be the most awesome stadium in the world as it looks like. Does the rosebowl even have modern amenities like toilets and running water or is someone having to walk a mile with buckets of water to bring them into the stadium

Why would an Alabama fan go to the Auburn rose bowl game?


My wife and two daughters all went to Florida State. My nephew who I pretty much raised was a GA on Jimbos staff. It kinda all fell in place. Was a great overall trip and an incredible game. But I'm telling you the stadium was a bummer.

GFY.

There is no experience quite like the Rose Bowl. The flyover, being outdoors, the sun setting behind the San Gabriel mountains late in the 3rd quarter, nightfall for the 4th quarter. That can't be replaced.

The Rose Bowl is an ancient dump. Stood in line to use the bathroom for almost a frickin hour during the Florida State vs Auburn national championship game.



Plan better. That sounds like a you problem.

I’ve seen it from the outside. Looks like it would be a bitch to leave out of because from what I could tell. It’s one way in and one way out. The Coliseum is a dump.
