Overview
- Pasadena and the Rose Bowl Operating Company filed suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court against UCLA and the UC Regents.
- The complaint says UCLA has expressed intent to relocate home games to SoFi Stadium, citing lease terms that bar play at other Los Angeles or Orange County venues.
- UCLA says no decision has been made on its long‑term home and argues in a March letter that preliminary talks do not constitute a material breach.
- An outside attorney for UCLA told Pasadena this week the team intends to continue playing at the Rose Bowl for the remainder of the current season, according to the filing.
- Pasadena cites more than $150 million in renovations and $130 million in refinanced bonds and claims potential damages exceeding $1 billion, with low attendance near 35,000 and SoFi’s closer proximity noted as context.
