PASADENA (CBSLA.com) — Football fans can cross the Rose Bowl off the list of possible temporary homes for any NFL franchise relocating to the Southland.
Officials with the Rose Bowl Operating Company (RBOC) decided in a unanimous 11-0 vote to not respond to a request for a proposal from the NFL sent out last month, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The vote leaves at least four other Southland venues still under consideration by the NFL: Dodger Stadium, Angel Stadium, the L.A. Coliseum, and Stub-Hub Center.
Instead, RBOC officials opted to pursue a music and arts festival that would take place during the month of June.
Pasadena City Councilman Victor Gordo, who also serves as RBOC president, told KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO officials thought the festival just made more sense for the city’s identity.
