| The Rose Bowl Hall of Fame honors outstanding individuals whose achievements have contributed to the success of the Rose Bowl GameĀ®. Inductees are selected by a committee which includes representatives from the Tournament of Roses, the media and college football.
Tournament of Roses President Harold E. Coombes (1982) launched the idea to honor certain individuals who have helped make "The Granddaddy of Them All" an unparalleled feat. Those eligible for induction include players, coaches, school administrators, athletic directors, conference officials and others who have made special contributions to the Rose Bowl Game. The Rose Bowl Room at the Tournament House in Pasadena features photographs of each Rose Bowl Hall of Fame inductee. Also on display are trophies, pictures and memorabilia dating back to the first Game in 1902. |

| The Rose Bowl Stadium has been the site of many "famous firsts" throughout its history, including the first wirephoto transmission of a bowl game (in 1925), the first transcontinental radio broadcast of a sporting event (in 1927, on NBC), the first Los Angeles telecast of a college football game (in 1948, on KTLA), the first national telecast of a college football game (in 1952, on NBC), the first coast-to-coast color telecast of a college football game (in 1962, on NBC), the first satellite television broadcast to Europe of a college football game (1968), and the first live satellite telecast of a bowl game to the Far East (in 1978). The first live Spanish-language broadcast of the game took place in 1988, and in 1989, the Tournament of Roses celebrated the Rose Bowl Game's 75th anniversary.
