Why don't they ever have super bowls at the Rose Bowl?

With all of this location discussion going on why hasn't the nfl considered this?
The RB is much larger than any of the current super bowl stadiums, plus Pasadena is 10x nicer than all of the current sites (except New Orleans and Miami)

They have in the past...
quote:
The stadium has hosted the Super Bowl five times. The first being in 1977, Super Bowl XI when the Oakland Raiders beat the Minnesota Vikings 32–14. The game was also played there in 1980 (Super Bowl XIV), 1983 (Super Bowl XVII), 1987 (Super Bowl XXI) and 1993 (Super Bowl XXVII). The Rose Bowl is one of two venues (Stanford Stadium being the other) to host a Super Bowl though having never served as the full-time home stadium for an NFL or AFL team (Stanford Stadium hosted one San Francisco 49ers game after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake).
Because the NFL has a policy limiting the hosting of a Super Bowl to NFL cities (& metropolitan areas), the Super Bowl has not been played at the Rose Bowl since January 1993. Since the Rams and Raiders departed the L.A. area in the mid-1990s, the NFL's title game visits to southern California have been limited to San Diego only, home of the Chargers.

The stadium is big but shitty in regards to most NFL stadiums. No suites doesn't help its case.

Yeah, it's because they don't have a team.

It's supposed to be going through a hefty renovation next year.

After that and getting an NFL team we can put a Super Bowl there.
As it is Super Bowl is more important to the NFL as a carrot to dangle in front of cities for new stadiums than getting good weather.

Pasadena can't exactly be that great for the media and for the amount of hotel rooms they need.
As for the Farmers Field in LA - do they even have a definitive location and stadium design yet? I have nothing against giving LA a Super Bowl, but some people are putting the cart before the horse and the horse hasn't even been born yet.

Bingo.
I think the NFL is realizing more and more that Super Bowls that aren't held in a downtown area where everything that the tourists need is right near by pretty much suck.

The other day someone posted a plan of Farmers Field and it was right next to the Staples Center.

Out of the places that they usually host the Super Bowl (Miami, New Orleans, Glendale, San Diego, Tampa Bay), not many. But plenty of stadiums in the NFL are downtown venues.

They did...but due to NFL rules they can not!
The NFL rules state that a Super Bowl has to be played in a city that has a Super Bowl team. When L.A. had the Rams and the Raiders, the Rose Bowl was an option. But now it is not.
The same reason Oklahoma City will never host a Super Bowl...NO NFL team (at least as of yet)

that sounds like some wishful thinking IMHO

If they were rewarded a Super bowl...they would build one.
But they will NEVER be rewarded one because why? They don't have an NFL team.

I know, but it's not even a final plan. It's basically a good idea and that's it.

quote:
Twenty-six of forty-four Super Bowls have been played in New Orleans (nine times), the Greater Miami area (ten times), or the Greater Los Angeles area (seven times). Stadiums that do not host an NFL franchise are not, by rule, prohibited from hosting the Super Bowl, and non-NFL stadiums have hosted the game seven times, with the Rose Bowl accounting for five of these. To date, however, no market or region without an NFL franchise has ever hosted a Super Bowl; all five Rose Bowl Super Bowls were hosted before the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Raiders left for St. Louis and Oakland respectively in 1995.
