Nobody was absolutely spot on, but
Paul Little was the first to come close with his 5:42 p.m. Tuesday
comment "I'm guessing it's limos parked near the Rose Bowl during an event waiting for the game or show to be over."
In the photo above, dozens of empty limousines are parked at
Brookside Golf Course during the
Super Bowl game at the
Rose Bowl Stadium on Jan. 26, 1987.
The
New York Giants beat the
Denver Broncos 39-20.
Five Super Bowls have been played at our stadium,
more than any other stadium in the nation.
Now the stadium is the subject of
public meetings where the financing plan for renovation and expansion is being discussed.
The
Rose Bowl Operating Company will vote on the financing plan tonight at 6:30 in the Mediterranean Room at
Brookside Clubhouse, and the plan is slated to go
to the Pasadena City Council for final approval this coming Monday at City Hall. That meeting will also begin at 6:30 p.m.
They're public meetings, and you're welcome to attend and weigh in during public comment.
The agenda for Monday's council meeting will be posted by about 6 p.m. tonight
here.
The council meeting will be televised live on KPAS (cable channel 3 in Pasadena) and via streaming video
here (click on the KPAS icon).
The Rose Bowl Stadium is an important historic landmark and economic resource. Is it worth saving? In this PIO's not-so-humble opinion, the answer is yes.
Many thanks to the Rose Bowl Stadium and the
National Football League.

Five Super Bowls, huh? That's pretty cool.
Congratulations to Paul Little. I didn't realize that the Rose Bowl figured in professional football, as well as college. Not to mention all the other events it's housed.
