Rose Bowl moved to AT&T Stadium
- Thread starter The Ols
- Start date
I'm glad they moved it. Now, parents can see their sons play. And maybe a few thousand fans will be there.
They were just waiting for the County to squash their exemption request. I wouldn't want to play in that dump anyway.
I’m confused, is the Rose Bowl moving or just the playoff game and the Rose Bowl will still have a game in Pasadena?
It is going to be the Rose Bowl. It will be the 2nd time it has been moved in history
We should be in N’awlins. Clemson will be in Dallas I’m sure. So it’s a relief to them, as if they needed anymore after playing in that powder puff league.
I believe as the #1 seed we get the choice. We’ll most likely choose The Sugar Bowl.
The Rose Bowl has ruined much of college football and is one of the many reasons that we can never have a consistent schedule for the playoffs. Because it always has to be January 1st at 3 pm CST. It got extremely mad that they were forced to have night games in 2001 and 2005 later in January because it ruined the Parade of Roses. It’s a crap stadium and a crap tradition if we are being honest.
if it is aTm that is #4 then the choice is out of our hands from the jump.
But on normal years I would say Yes because who wants to fly to the west coast and have to fly back to get ready for the next game. Georgia got back in the late afternoon the next day after they beat Oklahoma, Alabama got back the next morning after winning the Sugar Bowl in 2017. Way shorter flights for Bama and more time to prepare.
I wouldn’t rule out the Sugar moving to Tiger based on things LSU boosters are saying down here due to NOLA restrictions.
But out of the two on a normal year I do favor Jerry World because I like Dallas and like the space inside and outside the stadium. South Lake is awesome.
Having read on the subject, I understand it better than I once did. I think it's important to understand everything in that particular context - money. Despite the fact the "Rose Bowl conferences" (and you know who I mean) treat it like the Catholic church treats some things (a sacred tradition, no offense intended since ALL of us have our little traditions).......the bottom line is the greenbacks lining the coffers of the schools.
FANS want an undisputed national championship. I think what a lot of folks kinda either forget or don't know (if they're below a certain age) is that all those disputed champions from 1964 to 1997 were the result of gradual circumstances that in all cases were totally controlled by money. I recall a friend of mine saying one time, "The day we will have a college football playoff will be the day someone somewhere figures out how to make more money for the schools than the current setup."
The thing is, the Rose Bowl and the RB conferences have clung to each other like static in the laundry and with much the same result. In all sincerity, we would probably have had a BCS-level playoff in the early 90s if it wasn't for the fact the Rose Bowl still had prestige plus (1 million times more important) a bunch of cash to throw around. Even to get the BCS, we had to bend over and kiss the rump of what can now properly be described as "the Betamax of bowl games." It'll take another 15 years to wash away that Midwestern boy growing up cling to the tradition, but it'll happen.
Note to history: despite the fact some fans want to get all huffy about "but the newspapers in 1926 said Alabama won the national championship", the reality is they weren't using that word in the same context of what that now means. Go look at some old newspapers prior to 1939 and you'll see that when a baseball player - or even a football player - broke some sort of known record, the newspapers would say he "entered the Hall of Fame." He no more entered the Hall of Fame than Pete Rose did. But that hung for years, and the Rose Bowl winners were often (particularly before the other bowls got established primarily as "warm, sunny holiday destinations and whoo boy, let's go see some football!") referred to as winners of "the mythical national championship."
It was the right move. It really doesn't matter where either game is played. It will not be like a normal bowl game. Not that any have been "normal" when the CFP is involved. The players will fly in for the game and not participate in any extracurricular activities at all.
Jerry world allowing 16,000 fans compared to bout 3,000 in nola, advantage for top seed
