Proposed Las Vegas Development and what it means for our conference

[falafel]

Building a $2 Billion stadium with no permanent tenant. Great idea. What could possibly go wrong?

Sincerely,
The Alamo Dome

That seems to be the prevailing attitude, though. You don't deserve/can't support a pro sports team b/c you don't have a pro sports facility. I think Goodman's got a great idea: get the stadium built with the promise of the Monday night games, and then parlay that into an expansion or relocation.

Besides, there IS gambling and hotels on the $2B property. That ought to lessen the blow a bit (well, maybe not today, but in 5 years?).

The Rose Bowl. The Granddaddy of them all.

The Sugar Bowl is decent.....if you discount that it isn't as storied, it has been played in several different venues and even in different cities....cool!

Rose Bowl > Sugar Bowl. Not even close.

You are clearly law review material.

The rosebowl's great if you discount the fact that there nohing around it. Tou also have to park 3 miles from the stadium and it takes you 3 hours to ge out of parking lot after the game. Sugar bowl much greater than the rose bowl

Just curious, how many times has the NC winner been the Rose Bowl winner?

Twenty. More than any other bowl game. Orange Bowl, sixteen, and the Sugar Bowl, fifteen.

You can get in and out of a high school football game in twenty minutes, tops.

The Rose Bowl is the single greatest event in College Football, excluding only the National Championship game (perhaps). It is the fifth most valuable sports events brand in the world (behind the Super Bowl, the Summer Olympics, the World Cup, and the Daytona 500). It is bigger than the Sugar Bowl.

Why?

I was wondering if that fact supported your and TD's claim about the awesome wonderfulness of the Rose Bowl. It seems to! (Although the Rose Bowl is very old too. That might account for its lead in NCs. Also, Utah has never been in it, which probably makes it easier for you and TD to celebrate its awesomeness. )

You have never heard the Rose Bowl called The Granddaddy of them All?

Although I have only been to the Rose Bowl venue about 30 times in my life for concerts and sports, I will defer to your experience.

I will say this much, next time you are in town, let me know. there are a few places where you can park right next to the stadium itself. They are called "parking lots." The last I heard, there were a few cars here and there parked right next to the stadium, but it is possible that the one time you were here, the venue decided to not make any revenue and closed all the adjacent lots. This would explain your 3 mile sojourn. It would also explain why it takes you 3 hours to get home after a game.

Here is a pic of the Rose Bowl, adjacent to a golf course



Here is an overhead of the Superdome. awesome!

Nah - I have heard that; I know that it is true; I have lived in L.A. for almost 30 years and attended or watched almost as many Rose Bowl parades; I am a total L.A. homer (see my board moniker) and so the detente lives on. I was just teasing you and AA.
