"Because there is a statue there of Terry Donahue, the late, legendary Bruins coach, who was there either as a player, assistant coach or head coach in six of the Bruins' 12 Rose Bowl appearances. Donahue remains the winningest coach in Pac-10 Conference history with 151 victories. (Note: The Pac-10, which became the Pac-12, no longer exists. From the leather helmet days, right up to 2024,"
"Because when the 1993 Super Bowl was played in the Rose Bowl, Michael Jackson took the stage at halftime and, joined by thousands of children - and to a country captivated by the emotion - sang: "We Are the World ... We Are the Children..." Also, "Heal the World." It was a stunning performance by an international superstar and it remains the most tuned-in halftime show (133.4 million viewers)."
Keith Jackson called the Rose Bowl "The Grandaddy of Them All." A statue of Terry Donahue honors a coach who participated in six of UCLA's 12 Rose Bowl appearances and remains the winningest coach in Pac-10 history with 151 victories. The Pac-10 evolved into the Pac-12 and once represented major West Coast universities where players often attended class rather than fulfilling marketing obligations. The Rose Bowl was built in 1922 for $272,000, hosted its first game in 1923, and remains one of the largest stadiums worldwide and in the United States. The 1993 Super Bowl halftime, led by Michael Jackson with thousands of children singing, drew 133.4 million viewers and reinforced the stadium's iconic status.
