The Granddaddy of Them All!!

/ Ed Armstrong
I got up before sunrise to take a photo of the famous Rose Bowl sign above the main entrance to the Rose Bowl stadium!

I visited the Rose Bowl today!! I cannot guess how many times I have watched football games on TV that were played in this stadium. It is amazing to see such a famous sports stadium!

I loved seeing the actual Rose Bowl for the first time!!

I found a place to park the motorhome right across the street from the Rose Bowl! I loved seeing the lighted Rose Bowl sign during the night!

Sports announcer Keith Jackson was famous for describing the Rose Bowl football game as “The Granddaddy of Them All.”

This is another famous phrase Keith Jackson would say at the beginning of each Rose Bowl game.

There is this amazing sculpture of famous athlete Jackie Robinson in front of the Rose Bowl!
