PaseoColorado is a more upscale mall designed to be a modern urban village, with apartmentsabove the mall. An exclusive shopping district is located in the South Lake Avenueneighborhood.SportsThe Rose Bowl stadium, a National Historic Landmark, is host of the oldest and mostfamous college football postseason bowl game every New Year's Day. It is the homefield for the University of California, Los Angeles football team and has hosted fiveSuper Bowls. Important soccer matches include the 1984 Summer Olympics, the men'sfinal in the Football World Cup 1994, and the final in FIFA Women's World Cup 1999.For some time, Los Angeles has been seeking another National Football League team toreplace the Raiders, which played in Los Angeles from 1982-1994. There is currently apetition underway to have this team play in the Rose Bowl and call Pasadena its home.However, there are also several other cities and stadiums vying for this enviableopportunity.MiscellaneousTournament of Roses ParadeSpectators gather before the 2004 Rose Parade.Pasadena is also home to the Tournament of Roses Parade, held each year on January 1(unless that day is a Sunday, in which case the event is held on January 2). The firstparade was held in 1890 and was originally sponsored by the Valley Hunt Club, a
Pasadena social club. The impetus for holding the parade was, as stated by one of themembers, Professor Charles F. Holder, "In New York, people are buried in snow. Hereour flowers are blooming and our oranges are about to bear. Let's hold a festival to tellthe world about our paradise."By 1895, the festivities had become larger than the Valley Hunt Club could manage, andthe Tournament of Roses Association was then formed to take charge of the festival. In1902, it was decided that a football game would be added to the day's events. The game,now known as the Rose Bowl, would become the first post-season college football gameever. The first game was between Stanford University and the University of Michigan.After suffering a tremendous financial loss, the Tournament of Roses Associationdecided to hold Roman chariot races in lieu of football games. However, in 1916, footballreturned. When it became clear that the stands in Tournament Park were too small tofacilitate the crowd, the Tournament's President, William Leishman, proposed that astadium be built to house the game. The Rose Bowl was completed in 1923. The RoseBowl has since been selling out to crowds since 1947. In 1998, the Rose Bowl celebratedits 52nd anniversary and became the longest running tradition of its kind.The Rose Parade, as it is familiarly known, still features elaborate floats. According tothe organizers, "Every inch of every float must be covered with flowers or other naturalmaterials, such as leaves, seeds or bark. Volunteer workers swarm over the floats in thedays after Christmas, their hands and clothes covered with glue and petals. The mostdelicate flowers are placed in individual vials of water, which are set into the float one byone."The Rose Parade is satirized by the popular Doo Dah Parade, an annual November eventin Pasadena.South Orange Grove BoulevardOne of two primary, exclusive residential districts in Pasadena, South Orange GroveBoulevard has been a home for the rich and famous since the early 20th century. Becauseof a number of landmark mansions, the street earned the name "Millionaire's Row."However, by the early 21st Century many of these homes had been replaced by spacious,pricey condominiums.Of the residence dating back to the turn of the Century are:• Professor Thaddeus S.C.
