Officials consider moving Rose Bowl game for college playoffs

Los Angeles Times: For the first time since World War II forced the Rose Bowl eastward to Durham, N.C., in 1942, serious consideration is being given to the game not being played at its rightful home in Pasadena.

The Rose Bowl this year is one of the College Football Playoff’s national semifinals, still scheduled for its traditional New Year’s Day afternoon kickoff time. But Los Angeles County pandemic regulations, as currently written, would not allow for the game to be played with family members in attendance, a key detail that has put the game in question with the CFP management committee.
