The city and stadium authorities have been clear in their stance: they want UCLA to respect the existing lease and maintain its presence at the Rose Bowl. Their statement highlights a commitment to transparency, ongoing renovation efforts, and the economic importance of the venue to Pasadena.
On the other hand, UCLA’s vice chancellor for strategic communications, Mary Osako, stated that the university is still evaluating its long-term arrangements, emphasizing that no definitive decision has been made.
