The Rose Bowl
is known mainly for the New Year's
Day football game, but other events have called on the Rose Bowl to
host their events. In addition to hosting five NFL Super Bowl Games,
the 1994 Men's World Cup, and the 1999 Women's World Cup, the Rose Bowl
Stadium is home to UCLA football, Fourth of July celebrations,
concerts, religious services, and the world's largest flea market (R.G.
Canning). The Rose Bowl has been and will continue to be the model for
stadiums throughout the nation due to the stadium's continued emphasis
on patron comfort, event scheduling and community involvement.
