2010 Rose Bowl

We picked you online knowing nothing about your company. The entire trip was handled very professionally. R.J. was a great guide and handled the trip very well, including us booking our own air. Thank you very much, since our child is a freshman in the Blue Band I'm sure we'll be using you again!
Sincerely, Mary Ference

2009 Rose Bowl --- Pasadena, California ---

---

The 2009 Rose Bowl will be played on January 1st 2009, in Pasadena, California.  The game is played at Rose Bowl Stadium.  This historic national landmark is the home of the UCLA Bruins and has been host to a wide variety of events, including events at the 1932 and 1984 Olympics.  In addition, the Rose Bowl has hosted the Super Bowl five times, even though it has never been the full-time home stadium of any NFL team. 

Nicknamed "The Granddaddy of Them All", the Rose Bowl was first played in 1902, and is the oldest bowl game.  Currently, the game is slated to have the Big Ten champion face off against the Pac 10 champion, unless they are involved in the National Championship.

In the 2008 Rose Bowl, The Illinois Fighting Illini faced off against the USC Trojans.  This was only the fifth Rose Bowl appearance for Illinois, but the 32nd appearance for USC.  The game was a one sided affair, as the Trojans destroyed Illinois 49-17. In the 2009 Rose Bowl, it appears the game will feature the Big Ten Champion Penn State vs. either USC or Oregon State. 

The Rose Bowl is one of the most exciting sporting events to attend in all of sports, because of all the festivities going on before the game.  The Tournament of Roses Parade, a Rose Bowl Tradition, is held every year before the game, and is one of the largest New Year's Day celebrations in the country, as around 1 million people watch the parade on its route.
