The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL), the highest level of professional football in the United States, culminating a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. The Super Bowl normally uses Roman numerals to identify each game, rather than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl I was played on January 15, 1967, following the 1966 regular season. The lone exception will be the next game, Super Bowl 50, which will be played on February 7, 2016, following the 2015 season.
The Rose Bowl Game is an annual American college football bowl game, usually played on January 1 (New Year’s Day) at the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, California. When New Year’s Day falls on a Sunday, the game is played on Monday, January 2 (14 times now). The Rose Bowl is nicknamed “The Granddaddy of Them All” because it is the oldest bowl game. It was first played in 1902, and has been played annually since 1916. Since 1945, it has been the highest attended college football bowl game.
