Rose Bowl Game will be played outside Pasadena for first time in 79 years
The 2021 Rose Bowl football game will not be played in Pasadena today.
Initially, the game was slated to be played in Pasadena without any fans present due to the Coronavirus. Notre Dame scoffed at the idea of playing the Rose Bowl Game in an empty stadium.
None of the three California pro football teams – LA Chargers, LA Rams, and San Francisco 49ers – have played games in the state. However, they have all played away games in the NFL. (The former Oakland Raiders are playing their inaugural season in Las Vegas and don’t allow fans in the stadium.)

PASADENA, Calif. (KABC) The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many events to get canceled or postponed. Annual traditions like the Rose Parade will look quite different this year, but one nonprofit is continuing their ritual of being a part of the celebration.
Organizers of Donate Life have been working on a 25-foot floral sculpture for months.
Even though there won t be a parade this year, the organization still wanted to be a part of the celebration, something they have done for the last 17 years. 2021 is different, but donation continues even in a pandemic. People still need organs to continue living, says Tania Llavaneras, a representative of Donate Life.
